Is it possible to have the date along with the arrow when using a study?

[pymoondra]

Currently, I have a study that displays an arrow when conditions are met:

plot result = if condition then high else Double.NaN;

result.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_DOWN);

result.SetLineWeight(4);

result.AssignValueColor(Color.magenta);

However, since I am back testing, I would like the dates to be displayed as well (or instead of the arrows if both can't be displayed)

Is this possible? Currently I have to scroll the mouse to get the date, which is slowing down the process.

this can display a date on a bar, 3 different ways,
bubble (2 versions),
vertical line,
numbers , month above / day below

the font size of the values above/below plot values can't be changed with .SetLineWeight(5).

i moved the arrow up because of the boolean plot number above. i tried to pick factor numbers to get the number, arrow, and bubble stacked and not overlapping most of the time. but some numbers might have to be changed, depending on which output you choose.

replace my 2 averages code with your code that creates the signal.

this took a little longer to do and verify, because you provided partial code. i had to add test code for the signals.

Hi,

Thank you for this. I learned a few things. I am just getting around to play around with this code.

I don't quite understand how dnw works in this case despite using it in my code as well (as result)
Does dwn work as a placeholder for location if our condition results in True?

So in this part of the code:

addchartbubble(date_bubble1 and dwn


date_bubble1 needs to be True
dwn need to just have a non Nan value as that will result in a True as well.

So True and True will equal True.
