Unix Timestamp and Date Converter
Overview
This tool is a Unix Timestamp and Date/Time Converter built with Pine Script v6. It allows you to seamlessly convert between Unix seconds and human-readable dates while visually identifying the exact bar on your chart. This is particularly useful for cross-referencing timestamps from external logs or backtest results.
Key Features
Dual Search Modes:
Search from Unix Seconds: Input a timestamp to find its corresponding date and highlight the specific bar on the chart.
Search from Date/Time: Select a date and time (Y/M/D/H/M/S) to calculate the Unix timestamp and locate it.
Input Validation: Includes logic to detect invalid dates (e.g., "February 30th") and displays a clear error message.
Optimized Workflow for Copying:
Pine Logs: The conversion results are sent to the Pine Logs, allowing you to easily copy the text for use in other applications.
Data Window & UI Table: Monitor values directly on the chart or in the Data Window side panel for quick reference.
Timezone Support: Supports various UTC offsets to ensure the time matches your local environment or specific exchange hours.
