Overview

FunctionDatestring exports datetime, date_, and time_, each defaulting to the current time, and prefixes single-digit months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds with a leading zero. It draws nothing on the chart. A small DebugConsole demo queues sample strings on new bars and on the last confirmed history bar. There are no inputs, signals, or trading rules.

Risk Notes

No repainting, lookahead or stacked entries were found in its code or README. That says nothing about how well it works: test it first.

Third-party code. ForexR did not write, test or endorse this script, and the summary above was generated automatically from its code and README. Indicators describe the past, and a strategy's backtest can look better than live trading, especially when a script repaints. Check it in the Strategy Tester and on a demo account before you rely on it.
