Mark Selected Dates on Chart

[Thomas]

Hi,

I want to mark some dates on the chart using the “Show Bar” tool.

Here is my script:

// Mark Dates on the Chart with Show Bar Line1 = STRDATE(DATE=2022-02-10) ; Line2 = BARDATE() == Line1; Line3 = IF(Line2 == 1, High(), 0) ; Line3

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

// Mark Dates on the Chart with Show Bar Line1 = STRDATE(DATE=2022-02-10) ; Line2 = BARDATE() == Line1; Line3 = IF(Line2 == 1, High(), 0) ; Line3

The script works as it should it marks the bar and if I set the property “Display” to “Number” it shows the high of the bar.

Now I want to display the date of the bar. Here is my script:

// Mark Dates on the Chart with Show Bar Line1 = STRDATE(DATE=2022-02-10) ; Line2 = BARDATE() == Line1; Line3 = IF(Line2 == 1, BARDATE(), 0) ; Line3

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

// Mark Dates on the Chart with Show Bar Line1 = STRDATE(DATE=2022-02-10) ; Line2 = BARDATE() == Line1; Line3 = IF(Line2 == 1, BARDATE(), 0) ; Line3

The script marks the bar BUT shows as the date the number “44.602”. Is there a way to display the date of the bar?

Another question: Is it possible to select a bar and display the high or low and the date of the bar as it is possible with the “Time Price Label” tool?

Best wishes,
Thomas

Hi,

Currently the Show Bar doesn’t have support to show a date format.  I’ll log a request with the developers to see if it is something we can include in a future update.

Hi Matthew,

Any progress to report with adding this feature? Specifically I want to be able to display the date in the month (e.g. 1-31) only

Thanks in advance
