It will be great to have option "GO TO DATE" to move chart back in time. Now its is possible only by moving mouse.

I definitely agree and support this simple request. Most quality trading and software packages offer this feature yet cTrader/Spotware seem incapable or indifferent to offering it despite all the requests.

Hi cranmer767,

This functionality can be easily coded by the community. See a cBot example below

using System;
using System.Linq;
using cAlgo.API;
using cAlgo.API.Indicators;
using cAlgo.API.Internals;
using cAlgo.Indicators;

namespace cAlgo.Robots
{
    [Robot(TimeZone = TimeZones.UTC, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class ScrollTo : Robot
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 2014)]
        public int Year { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 1)]
        public int Month { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = 1)]
        public int Day { get; set; }

        protected override void OnStart()
        {
            var date = new DateTime(Year, Month, Day);

            while (Bars.OpenTimes[0] > date)
                Bars.LoadMoreHistory();
            Chart.ScrollXTo(date);
        }

        protected override void OnTick()
        {
            // Put your core logic here
        }

        protected override void OnStop()
        {
            // Put your deinitialization logic here
        }
    }
}

Hi Panagiotis,

Many thanks for the reply. Would prefer that it was available on current charts.

Best regards,

Now that cTrader has added the 'Smart Chart Search' it would be easy to implement there. Just type the date in a predetermined format (i.e. 24-03-21) and the active chart should jump to that location. 

Something easy to program and a feature that should be embedded in the platform.
