How can I show datetime rather than just date in x value in plot

[yoghurtshawn]

As is shown in the attached image, how can I show the detailed time in "x=" stuff, like, "x=2019-05-15 09:30:00", which can be useful especially in backtests with minutes data.

Many thanks!

Hi @yoghurtshawn,

You should be able to set the strftime format with the params fmt_x_ticks and fmt_x_data.

Try with:

cerebro.plot(
        #  Format string for the display of ticks on the x axis
        fmt_x_ticks = '%Y-%b-%d %H:%M',

        # Format string for the display of data points values
        fmt_x_data = '%Y-%b-%d %H:%M'
)

You should be getting something like this:

I tried this but it didn't work for me. Is there anything else I need to know?
