Description
Is there a way in the api to add more dates on the x axis? This helps me avoid having to count candles from the candles plotted and the sparsely populated candle dates.
I’ve been through the docs and may be overlooking it. This would be very helpful.
Also, does it plot “blue raindrops” like is done on trend spider?

Determine whether denser date labels and the requested “blue raindrops” visualization are supported or require new behavior; done means the requested behavior is specified and covered by relevant examples or tests.
