    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]

    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 👍
