I want to use Kibana to illustrate stock information and stock market is not open at weekend.  
How can I skip some date (e.g. weekend) in Kibana chart?  
How can I skip some date (e.g. weekend) in Timelion chart?

I don't think there's any way to visually remove the space from the date histogram. I tried adding `min_doc_count` to the advanced JSON, which removes the empty buckets from the elasticsearch results, but it had no effect on the chart.

What we really need is a "Show empty buckets" option like on the histogram agg:

I'd encourage you to file an enhancement request on the Kibana github repo: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana)
