Graphing open interest for Futures Contracts

I have a question about Open Interest. I've added the Open Interest study to my daily chart, but my study displays bars in groups of three for Tue/Wed/Thur, in other words just 3 bars per week. And during a shortened holiday week it only shows 2 bars.

Is this normal? I'm not sure if there's an issue with my data feed, or if it's something with Motivewave.

Does anyone else graph open interest on a daily chart?

I didn't know we had such a study. I tried it out now. I am getting the same results on all futures, just 3 bars a week. However if you look back before July (on all instruments), there were 4 bars per week, with some periods even having a bar every day. It does not make sense to me. OI is reported daily on the CME. My data provider is CQG, however I think the data for this study comes from motive wave themselves (similar to the historical data on a continuous contract).
 
Thank for checking that out, so it's not just me. My data provider is Rithmic.
 
My Open Interest study doesn't plot anything yet the chart label plots the Open Interest value when assigned. I've tried rhythmic and also etc qqq spy from Schwab. Why does this study not plot? is there a special data routing we need to do?
