Hi,

I want to take a FOREX economic calendar and plot past events on my chart. I can enter the dates/time manually and would like to know what is the best method to do this in SC.

For example: March 15, 2017 @ 8:30 CPI report

I would like to at least highlight the date/time and possibly see the type of report/event on the chart for backtesting purpose.

Many thanks,

Guillaume

Best thing to do is to use the Type Text tool and go to that particular date-time in the chart (Chart >> Goto Date-Time) and just type the text on the chart indicating the information that you want:
