Rebecca,
If you need a source for 5-day charts, here is one that might help you — NetDania charts, available online, no download required —
Forex Charts | Free charts software - FinanceChart | NetDania
Note: You will need to have the latest version of Java installed on your computer. And you will need to be in a browser [I]other than[/I] Google Chrome (which doesn’t support Java). Firefox, Opera (and I think IE) are all good.
When you open the NetDania webpage, you will see something like this (minus the red mark-ups):
After you detach the chart, you will see this (minus all the notes in red, which I added):
NetDania charts are 5-day charts. The time zone (which simply determines the date/time stamp on each candle) is adjustable, so you can easily set it to GMT (if it doesn’t automatically open in GMT).
Unfortunately, unlike your platform, when you close the NetDania website, you lose everything, and have to start over next time. Also, NetDania gives you the ability to add text to any chart, but you can’t position a letter or numeral directly over a candle — which is kind of a bummer when you want to denote highs and lows, etc.
All of the text (which I added to the chart above) was added using the SnagIt image-capture app.
All the usual “studies” (basically, indicators) are available in NetDania charts.

Another option (and maybe a better one): download a DEMO account from FXCM-UK. All FXCM MarketScope charts are 5-day charts. The advantage of this option is that you can save your charts within the FXCM platform.
I hope this is helpful.
