this is 1 of my works in progress. not sure when i will do more with it, so i am sharing it as it is.
--------------------------------

draw 2 ovals.

define 2 points, by entering a date and time for each.
draw a line connecting those points. this line will be the diameter and will be diagonal.
calculate a horizontal diameter. (the oval will be wider than the 2 points)
draw 2 arcs, for the top half and bottom half of the oval.
this will be the outer oval.
the center is marked with a yellow square.

a 2nd smaller oval is drawn.
it will have a width of the time span between the 2 points.
the arc lines are not drawn on the date-time bars. (i don't remember why)

i used different colors on the arcs, to show how they are drawn.

i set the 2 dates as 5/20 and 5/31.
set a chart to 30 days. mine is at 15min 30days

# Drawing a Circle on the chart

#-------------------------------------------
#https://www.math.net/circle-formula
#Given that point (x, y) lies on a circle with radius r centered at the origin of the coordinate plane, it forms a right triangle with sides x and y, and hypotenuse r. This allows us to use the Pythagorean Theorem to find that the equation for this circle in standard form is:

#x^2 + y^2 = r^2

# adjusted radz  -  pythagorean
#  r^2 = x^2 + y^2

# calc y
#  y^2 = r^2 - x^2
#  y = sqrt ( r^2 - x^2 )

-------------------------------

it doesn't check if the dates are valid trading days.

could adjust a date with something like this.
to look for a day of week (dow) = 6 or 7. then set a new date var to be a friday. (or monday)

def dow1 = GetDayofWeek(date1);
# calc an offset to friday or original date
def date_adj = if dow1 == 6 then date1 - 1 else if dow1 == 7 then date1 - 2 else 0;

i didn't test what happens if the date is the 1st of month and 1 is subtracted from the date.
