How to offset (or unstack) data points within the same date in a Waterfall plotly chart?

After extensive research, the closest I found to my issue was this question.

I'm building a waterfall chart to illustrate the cashflow of a certain company. That being said, I have several cashflow entries on the same date.

Currently I'm using waterfallmode='overlay' but I tried group as well. I have some trouble in looking at such chart because the positive and negative entries do overlap and it all gets a bit confused.

What I want exactly is: To unstack (or offset) each entries within a day, so that they are located laterally and parallel to each other, as opposed to overlapped or stacked.

The closest settings I found to deal with it, and why they don't work are:

waterfallgap and waterfallgroupgap (Creating a FigureWidget object)
offset and offsetgroup

None of them work because they offset the entire group (as opposed to each entry).

I guess one solution would be to force a minute's difference in each of the Date entries. But I'm sure there is a cleaner solution

Why don’t you like the “group” option? – nicolaskruchten Sep 25 '19 at 23:27
I think that I would need to define each date as a group for that to work – Pedro Braz Sep 26 '19 at 17:19
Oh I see. Yes, that's what you'd need to do. Jittering them a bit would be a good option in this case (the "minute's difference") – nicolaskruchten Sep 26 '19 at 17:23
