How to create specific date in probuilder

  Trying to do a screener for a specific date but unsure how to define the variable date in the probuilder section.

  I have put

  myDate = 202002202

  RETURN Date

  Not sure this is displaying it correctly, can anyone help?

  I have now changed it to this – does this look correct?

  myDate = YYYYMMDD
  YYYYMMDD = Date
  RETURN Date

  No, your code is wrong.

  YYYYMMDD is the correct date format.

  You can build any date by multiplying single data this way:

  YYYY0000      2020 * 10000   = 20200000 +
  MM00                  2 *     100    =            200 +
  DD                        2 *         1     =                2 =
  YYYYMMDD                             = 20200202

  DATEs are just numbers.

  This is what I have in probuilder to return date – then in screener i will input specific date but it is not working?

  I have taken this example from another thread. code is by Nicholas. take some time to understand it, feel free to ask questions

   

  ONCE Periods = 20 //last 20 bars ONCE PerCent = Periods * 0.9 //90% of times on the rise ONCE RsiNum = 14 MyRsi = rsi[RsiNum](close) idate = 20190106 if summation[Periods](MyRsi > MyRsi[1]) >= PerCent and date=idate then test=1 endif SCREENER[test]

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

  ONCE Periods = 20             //last 20 bars ONCE PerCent = Periods * 0.9  //90% of times on the rise ONCE RsiNum  = 14 MyRsi = rsi[RsiNum](close) idate = 20190106 if summation[Periods](MyRsi > MyRsi[1]) >= PerCent and date=idate then test=1 endif SCREENER[test]

  setting the idate to your selected date and using date=idate is the key for you I think.

  Thanks alot, think I have it now! is the main chart meant to reflect the date i set? as the main chart isn’t switching to the date I have set? instead i am having to manually go to that date.

  Yeah, unfortunately they are separate entities, but you can have many many charts, so set it up as you wish 👍
