Description
Hello, Daniel, thanks for the amazing product.
I want to make OHLC charts like IBD style, here how it looks:

I could create something like it:

It would be great if we could use major and minor grid feature as in matplotlib, I can't make x-axis date labels like in the original image. And I like when you can add price extremum labels above and beyond bars like here

Maybe, somebody can help me with it or give me some useful tips.
Thanks a lot

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reviewing mplfinance's existing OHLC chart, axis-label, grid, and annotation capabilities, then compare them with the requested IBD-style examples; done would require a defined, maintainable way to support the requested date labels, major and minor grids, and price-extremum labels.
