This indicator is amazing, really great quality of life improvement for cTrader!

If I had to come up with a a suggestion (really not sure if it is even possible) then the only thing I could think of is Dates along the X-Axis, not every date of course but maybe spaced out enough that a quick glance could give a guestimate of when that above peak took place.
