Hi,

Thanks for the question.

The stock tools in Highcharts don't provide a direct option to set a starting date for the VWAP indicator through the UI. The stock tools are designed for quick and easy application of indicators, but they don't offer advanced configuration options like setting a custom start date directly from the interface.
To achieve this, you would typically need to handle it programmatically, as in this demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/L7tgfk2r/, by pre-calculating the VWAP and adding it as a custom series. This approach allows you to define the specific logic for starting the VWAP calculation from a particular date.
If you need this feature frequently, consider building a custom tool or UI component that allows users to select a start date and then recalculates and updates the VWAP series based on that input. This would involve a bit more development work but would provide the flexibility you need.

Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it seems possible. There are API options to retrieve xAxis value on click:

Code: Select all

click: function(e) {
    console.log(
        Highcharts.dateFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', e.xAxis[0].value),
        e.yAxis[0].value
    )
}

You might also try https://api.highcharts.com/highstock/pl ... ents.click to get xValue on series click

Here is a basic demo with the first event used to give you an idea: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/4mt69yLj/

I hope you will find it useful.

Kind regards,
