DateTimeLibrary with enums that can be used as script inputs to allow users to set their preferred date and/or time formats. The user-selected formats can be passed to the library functions (which use 𝚜𝚝𝚛.𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝_𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎() under the hood) to get formatted date and time strings from a UNIX time.
PREFACE
The target audience of this publication is users creating their own indicators/strategies.
Sometimes a date and/or time needs to be displayed to the user. As a Pine Coder, it is natural to focus our initial attention on the primary calculations or functions of a script, which can lead to the display format of dates and times being an afterthought. While it may not be crucial for the main use case of a script, increased customizability can help push indicators/strategies to the next level in the eyes of the user.
The purpose of this library is to provide an easy-to-use mechanism for allowing script users to choose the formats of dates and times that are displayed to them. Not only is this helpful for users from around the world who may be accustomed to different date/time formats, but it also makes it easier for the script author because it offloads the date/time formatting decision from the author to the user.
HOW TO USE
Step 1
Import the library. Replace with the latest available version number for this library.
//@version=6
indicator("Example")
import n00btraders/DateTime/ as dt
Step 2
Select a date format and/or time format enum to be used as an input.
dateFormatInput = input.enum(dt.DateFormat.FORMAT_3, "Date format")
timeFormatInput = input.enum(dt.TimeFormat.TWENTY_FOUR_HOURS, "Time hours format")
Step 3
Pass the user's selection as the `format` parameter in the formatting functions from this library. The `timestamp` & `timezone` parameters can be any value that would otherwise be used in 𝚜𝚝𝚛.𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝_𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎(𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎, 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝, 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎𝚣𝚘𝚗𝚎).
string formattedDate = dt.formatDate(timestamp, dateFormatInput, timezone)
string formattedTime = dt.formatTime(timestamp, timeFormatInput, timezone)
LIMITATIONS
The library's ease-of-use comes at a few costs:
Fixed date/time formats.
Using the library's pre-defined date & time formats means that additional custom formats cannot be utilized. For example, this library does not include seconds or fractional seconds in formatted time strings. If a script's use case requires displaying the 'seconds' from a time of day, then 𝚜𝚝𝚛.𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝_𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎() must be used directly.
Fixed time zone offset format.
The `formatTime()` function of this library can optionally add the time zone offset at the end of the time string, but the format of the offset cannot be specified. Note: if the default format for time zone offset is not sufficient, the Timezone library can be imported directly to get the time zone offset string in a preferred format.
ADVANTAGES
There are benefits to utilizing this library instead of directly using 𝚜𝚝𝚛.𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝_𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎():
Easy to use from the user's perspective.
The date & time format enums provide a similar look and feel to the "Date format" and "Time hours format" options that already exist in the TradingView chart settings.
Easy to use from the author's perspective.
The exported functions from this library are modeled to behave similarly to the 𝚜𝚝𝚛.𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝_𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎(𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎, 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝, 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎𝚣𝚘𝚗𝚎) built-in function from Pine Script.
Format quarter of the year.
The date formatting function from this library can display a fiscal quarter if it's included in the user-selected format. This is currently not possible with the built-in 𝚜𝚝𝚛.𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝_𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎().
EXPORTED ENUM TYPES
This section will list the available date/time formats that can be used as a script input. Each enum type has a detailed //@𝚏𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 description in the source code to help determine the best choice for your scripts.
Date Format Enums:
𝙳𝚊𝚝𝚎𝙵𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝
𝙳𝚊𝚝𝚎𝙵𝚘𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚝𝙳𝚊𝚢𝙾𝚏𝚆𝚎𝚎𝚔𝙰𝚋𝚋𝚛

real_time_candlesIntroduction
The Real-Time Candles Library provides comprehensive tools for creating, manipulating, and visualizing custom timeframe candles in Pine Script. Unlike standard indicators that only update at bar close, this library enables real-time visualization of price action and indicators within the current bar, offering traders unprecedented insight into market dynamics as they unfold.
This library addresses a fundamental limitation in traditional technical analysis: the inability to see how indicators evolve between bar closes. By implementing sophisticated real-time data processing techniques, traders can now observe indicator movements, divergences, and trend changes as they develop, potentially identifying trading opportunities much earlier than with conventional approaches.
Key Features
The library supports two primary candle generation approaches:
Chart-Time Candles: Generate real-time OHLC data for any variable (like RSI, MACD, etc.) while maintaining synchronization with chart bars.
Custom Timeframe (CTF) Candles: Create candles with custom time intervals or tick counts completely independent of the chart's native timeframe.
Both approaches support traditional candlestick and Heikin-Ashi visualization styles, with options for moving average overlays to smooth the data.
Configuration Requirements
For optimal performance with this library:
Set max_bars_back = 5000 in your script settings
When using CTF drawing functions, set max_lines_count = 500, max_boxes_count = 500, and max_labels_count = 500
These settings ensure that you will be able to draw correctly and will avoid any runtime errors.
Usage Examples
Basic Chart-Time Candle Visualization
// Create real-time candles for RSI
float rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
Candle rsi_candle = candle_series(rsi, CandleType.candlestick)
// Plot the candles using Pine's built-in function
plotcandle(rsi_candle.Open, rsi_candle.High, rsi_candle.Low, rsi_candle.Close,
"RSI Candles", rsi_candle.candle_color, rsi_candle.candle_color)
Multiple Access Patterns
The library provides three ways to access candle data, accommodating different programming styles:
// 1. Array-based access for collection operations
Candle candles = candle_array(source)
// 2. Object-oriented access for single entity manipulation
Candle candle = candle_series(source)
float value = candle.source(Source.HLC3)
// 3. Tuple-based access for functional programming styles
= candle_tuple(source)
Custom Timeframe Examples
// Create 20-second candles with EMA overlay
plot_ctf_candles(
source = close,
candle_type = CandleType.candlestick,
sample_type = SampleType.Time,
number_of_seconds = 20,
timezone = -5,
tied_open = true,
ema_period = 9,
enable_ema = true
)
// Create tick-based candles (new candle every 15 ticks)
plot_ctf_tick_candles(
source = close,
candle_type = CandleType.heikin_ashi,
number_of_ticks = 15,
timezone = -5,
tied_open = true
)
Advanced Usage with Custom Visualization
// Get custom timeframe candles without automatic plotting
CandleCTF my_candles = ctf_candles_array(
source = close,
candle_type = CandleType.candlestick,
sample_type = SampleType.Time,
number_of_seconds = 30
)
// Apply custom logic to the candles
float ema_values = my_candles.ctf_ema(14)
// Draw candles and EMA using time-based coordinates
my_candles.draw_ctf_candles_time()
ema_values.draw_ctf_line_time(line_color = #FF6D00)

Technical Implementation Notes
This library leverages Pine Script's varip variables for state management, creating a sophisticated real-time data processing system. The implementation includes:
Efficient tick capturing: Samples price at every execution, maintaining temporal tracking with time deltas
Smart state management: Uses a hybrid approach with mutable updates at index 0 and historical preservation at index 1+
Temporal synchronization: Manages two time domains (chart time and custom timeframe)
The tooltip implementation provides crucial temporal context for custom timeframe visualizations, allowing users to understand exactly when each candle formed regardless of chart timeframe.
Limitations
Custom timeframe candles cannot be backtested due to Pine Script's limitations with historical tick data
Real-time visualization is only available during live chart updates
Maximum history is constrained by Pine Script's array size limits
Applications
Indicator visualization: See how RSI, MACD, or other indicators evolve in real-time
Volume analysis: Create custom volume profiles independent of chart timeframe
Scalping strategies: Identify short-term patterns with precisely defined time windows
Volatility measurement: Track price movement characteristics within bars
Custom signal generation: Create entry/exit signals based on custom timeframe patterns
Conclusion
The Real-Time Candles Library bridges the gap between traditional technical analysis (based on discrete OHLC bars) and the continuous nature of market movement. By making indicators more responsive to real-time price action, it gives traders a significant edge in timing and decision-making, particularly in fast-moving markets where waiting for bar close could mean missing important opportunities.
Whether you're building custom indicators, researching price patterns, or developing trading strategies, this library provides the foundation for sophisticated real-time analysis in Pine Script.
Implementation Details & Advanced Guide
Core Implementation Concepts
The Real-Time Candles Library implements a sophisticated event-driven architecture within Pine Script's constraints. At its heart, the library creates what's essentially a reactive programming framework handling continuous data streams.
Tick Processing System
The foundation of the library is the get_tick() function, which captures price updates as they occur:
export get_tick(series float source = close, series float na_replace = na)=>
varip float price = na
varip int series_index = -1
varip int old_time = 0
varip int new_time = na
varip float time_delta = 0
// ...
This function:
Samples the current price
Calculates time elapsed since last update
Maintains a sequential index to track updates
The resulting TickData structure serves as the fundamental building block for all candle generation.
State Management Architecture
The library employs a sophisticated state management system using varip variables, which persist across executions within the same bar. This creates a hybrid programming paradigm that's different from standard Pine Script's bar-by-bar model.
For chart-time candles, the core state transition logic is:
// Real-time update of current candle
candle_data := Candle.new(Open, High, Low, Close, polarity, series_index, candle_color)
candles.set(0, candle_data)
// When a new bar starts, preserve the previous candle
if clear_state
candles.insert(1, candle_data)
price.clear()
// Reset state for new candle
Open := Close
price.push(Open)
series_index += 1
This pattern of updating index 0 in real-time while inserting completed candles at index 1 creates an elegant solution for maintaining both current state and historical data.
Custom Timeframe Implementation
The custom timeframe system manages its own time boundaries independent of chart bars:
bool clear_state = switch settings.sample_type
SampleType.Ticks => cumulative_series_idx >= settings.number_of_ticks
SampleType.Time => cumulative_time_delta >= settings.number_of_seconds
This dual-clock system synchronizes two time domains:
Pine's execution clock (bar-by-bar processing)
The custom timeframe clock (tick or time-based)
The library carefully handles temporal discontinuities, ensuring candle formation remains accurate despite irregular tick arrival or market gaps.
Advanced Usage Techniques
1. Creating Custom Indicators with Real-Time Candles
To develop indicators that process real-time data within the current bar:
// Get real-time candles for your data
Candle rsi_candles = candle_array(ta.rsi(close, 14))
// Calculate indicator values based on candle properties
float signal = ta.ema(rsi_candles.first().source(Source.Close), 9)
// Detect patterns that occur within the bar
bool divergence = close > close and rsi_candles.first().Close < rsi_candles.get(1).Close
2. Working with Custom Timeframes and Plotting
For maximum flexibility when visualizing custom timeframe data:
// Create custom timeframe candles
CandleCTF volume_candles = ctf_candles_array(
source = volume,
candle_type = CandleType.candlestick,
sample_type = SampleType.Time,
number_of_seconds = 60
)
// Convert specific candle properties to float arrays
float volume_closes = volume_candles.candle_ctf_to_float(Source.Close)
// Calculate derived values
float volume_ema = volume_candles.ctf_ema(14)
// Create custom visualization
volume_candles.draw_ctf_candles_time()
volume_ema.draw_ctf_line_time(line_color = color.orange)
3. Creating Hybrid Timeframe Analysis
One powerful application is comparing indicators across multiple timeframes:
// Standard chart timeframe RSI
float chart_rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
// Custom 5-second timeframe RSI
CandleCTF ctf_candles = ctf_candles_array(
source = close,
candle_type = CandleType.candlestick,
sample_type = SampleType.Time,
number_of_seconds = 5

Final Notes
This library represents an advanced implementation of real-time data processing within Pine Script's constraints. By creating a reactive programming framework for handling continuous data streams, it enables sophisticated analysis typically only available in dedicated trading platforms.
The design principles employed—including state management, temporal processing, and object-oriented architecture—can serve as patterns for other advanced Pine Script development beyond this specific application.

TimezoneLibrary with pre-defined timezone enums that can be used to request a timezone input from the user. The library provides a `tostring()` function to convert enum values to a valid string that can be used as a `timezone` parameter in pine script built-in functions. The library also includes a bonus function to get a formatted UTC offset from a UNIX timestamp.
The timezone enums in this library were compiled by referencing the available timezone options from TradingView chart settings as well as multiple Wikipedia articles relating to lists of time zones.
Some enums from this library are used to retrieve an IANA time zone identifier, while other enums only use UTC/GMT offset notation. It is important to note that the Pine Script User Manual recommends using IANA notation in most cases.
HOW TO USE
This library is intended to be used by Pine Coders who wish to provide their users with a simple way to input a timezone. Using this library is as easy as 1, 2, 3:
Step 1
Import the library into your script. Replace with the latest available version number for this library.
//@version=6
indicator("Example")
import n00btraders/Timezone/ as tz
Step 2
Select one of the available enums from the library and use it as an input. Tip: view the library source code and scroll through the enums at the top to find the best choice for your script.
timezoneInput = input.enum(tz.TimezoneID.EXCHANGE, "Timezone")
Step 3
Convert the user-selected input into a valid string that can be used in one of the pine script built-in functions that have a `timezone` parameter.
string timezone = tz.tostring(timezoneInput)
EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
There are multiple 𝚝𝚘𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚐() functions in this library: one for each timezone enum. The function takes a single parameter: any enum field from one of the available timezone enums that are exported by this library. Depending on the selected enum, the function will return a time zone string in either UTC/GMT notation or IANA notation.
Note: to avoid confusion with the built-in `str.tostring()` function, it is recommended to use this library's `tostring()` as a method rather than a function:
string timezone = timezoneInput.tostring()
offset(timestamp, format, timezone, prefix, colon)
Formats the time offset from a UNIX timestamp represented in a specified timezone.
Namespace types: series OffsetFormat
Parameters:
timestamp (int) : (series int) A UNIX time.
format (series OffsetFormat) : (series OffsetFormat) A time offset format.
timezone (string) : (series string) A UTC/GMT offset or IANA time zone identifier.
prefix (string) : (series string) Optional 'UTC' or 'GMT' prefix for the result.
colon (bool) : (series bool) Optional usage of colon separator.
Returns: Time zone offset using the selected format.
The 𝚘𝚏𝚏𝚜𝚎𝚝() function is provided as a convenient alternative to manually using `str.format_time()` and then manipulating the result.
The OffsetFormat enum is used to decide the format of the result from the `offset()` function. The library source code contains comments above this enum declaration that describe how each enum field will modify a time offset.
Tip: hover over the `offset()` function call in the Pine Editor to display a pop-up containing:
Function description
Detailed parameter list, including default values
Example function calls
Example outputs for different OffsetFormat.* enum values
NOTES
At the time of this publication, Pine cannot be used to access a chart's selected time zone. Therefore, the main benefit of this library is to provide a quick and easy way to create a pine script input for a time zone (most commonly, the same time zone selected in the user's chart settings).
At the time of the creation of this library, there are 95 Time Zones made available in the TradingView chart settings. If any changes are made to the time zone settings, this library will be updated to match the new changes.
All time zone enums (and their individual fields) in this library were manually verified and tested to ensure correctness.
An example usage of this library is included at the bottom of the source code.
Credits to HoanGhetti for providing a nice Markdown resource which I referenced to be able to create a formatted informational pop-up for this library's `offset()` function.
