Weekly charts, daily charts...

I hear a lot of talk of weekly/daily/hourly charts etc. Question: is it talking about the bar/candle interval? Or the scope of the chart? E.g. is a daily chart:

1. one that just shows you one trading day (and the interval might be anything - e.g. hour, 5min, min etc)?
2. one that is an the interval of "1 day" (and shows an unspecified scope)?

The open for that day, week, etc

Well, you need both.

It's no good looking at 5 minute chart action without being aware of the longer term trends at greater intervals.

Failing to do so is a good way to lose all your money very quickly indeed.

The weekly gives you one set of points to use over the week while the daily chart provides a handful of points for the same timeframe. That handful of points have more influence than the single set.
