Label Showing Next Earnings Date?

[scottsamesame]

Does anyone know of a thinkscript that will provide a label of when the next earnings date is? Ideally it would show the date and the # of days until the earnings date. TY

Use this on a Daily chart with an expansion set to 100 at the settings/time axis tab.

#Earnings_Date_DaysTill

def div1    = GetEventOffset(eventType = Events.EARNINGS);
def nodiv   = if IsNaN(div1) then -99 else GetEventOffset(eventType = Events.EARNINGS);
def div     = if nodiv == 0 then 1 else 0;
def divday  = if div == 1 then GetYYYYMMDD() else Double.NaN;
def divdate = (HighestAll(divday));
def year    = RoundDown(divdate / 10000, 0);
def month   = RoundDown(((divdate - RoundDown(divdate, -4)) / 100), 0);
def day     = (divdate - (year * 10000)) - (month * 100);
AddLabel(1, "Next Earnings | Date: " + month + "/" + day + "/" + (year-2000) +
            " | Trading Days Till: " + absvalue(div1), color.white);

input test = yes;
addverticalLine(test and getyyyYMMDD()==divday, "                        " + asprice(divday), color.white, Curve.FIRM);
;

Why does it need the 100 expansion area? Will it not work otherwise?

No, it won't work otherwise. If you want the future date, you obviously need to make that allowance in the time axis.
A workaround: you can make a small detached chart with just that little label. Add it to your grid or pin it above your chart.

Got it. TY for the help.

@scottsamesame If I understand the issue correctly, I did the following to fix the future earnings date issue:

Chart Settings > Time Axis > Autoexpand to fit > (Check) Corporate Actions.

Expansion area = 0 bars to the rights. It is sometimes an annoying waste of chart space, but maybe these settings will help with showing the future earnings dates by default on the Time Axis and allow the script to work better.
