Answer 1

Using category as the xaxis type worked for me quite nicely (notice the go.Layout object):

    import plotly.graph_objects as go

    layout = go.Layout(
        xaxis=dict(
            type='category',
        )
    )

    fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Candlestick(x=self.price_df.index.to_series(),
                                         open=self.price_df[e.OHLCV.OPEN.value],
                                         high=self.price_df[e.OHLCV.HIGH.value],
                                         low=self.price_df[e.OHLCV.LOW.value],
                                         close=self.price_df[e.OHLCV.CLOSE.value])],
                    layout=layout)

    fig.show()
