In my chart ,I try to display only 5 ticks in a datetime axis, I use the tickPositioner function and set only 5 ticks ,this work perfect but the data labels loss it's format and show only numbers.

It's little hacky, but you need also calculate information about labels and add them, for example: http://jsfiddle.net/AVhaL/

        tickPositioner: function (min, max) {
            var ticks = this.getLinearTickPositions(this.tickInterval, min, max),
                tLen = ticks.length;

            ticks.info = {
                unitName: "week",
                higherRanks: {},
                totalRange: ticks[tLen - 1] - ticks[0]
            };
            return ticks;
        }

So according to totalRange, you need to pass unitName - it's information which format should be taken from dateTimeLabelFormats.
