    Hi to all! I use a simple code on an indicator, just to plot some custom values on a subchart below SPX. My code is :

    if DATE = 20211028 THEN
    MyIndicator = 4440
    endif
    if DATE = 20211029 THEN
    MyIndicator = 4445
    endif

    Return MyIndicator as “MyIndicator”

     

    Because after the values are now 2-3 years, the whole platform starts to lag a little bit. So, I wonder, can I put my values on arrays, so to have a lighter code?

    And if yes, how to transform correct? Any example please????

    Did you mean something like this one?

    $MyDate[1]  = 20211028
$MyValue[1] = 4440
//
$MyDate[2]  = 20211029
$MyValue[2] = 4445
//
MyIndicator = 0
FOR i = 1 TO 2
   IF Date = $MyDate[i] THEN
      MyIndicator = $MyValue[i]
      Break
   ENDIF
ENDIF
RETURN MyIndicator

    You can add more elements at the beginning of the code, then replace 2 by the number of elements you have used.

    Thank you very much for your help! I am just thinking, if there is a way to not use the $MyDate, but to use only one time a StartDate value. Is this possible???? Appreciate any help

    StartDay = 20211101 then

    $MyValue[1] = 4440
    $MyValue[2] = 4445

    $MyValue[3] = 4550

    $MyValue[4] = 4600

    $MyValue[5] = 4732

    $MyValue[6] = 4660

    And then, Return myIndicator from the Startday with values from MyValue[1] to MyValue[6].  Something like this…

    Yes, there you go:

    $MyValue[1] = 0
$MyValue[2] = 0
$MyValue[3] = 0
$MyValue[4] = 0
$MyValue[5] = 0
$MyValue[6] = 0
IF Date = 20211101 then
   $MyValue[1] = 4440
   $MyValue[2] = 4445
   $MyValue[3] = 4550
   $MyValue[4] = 4600
   $MyValue[5] = 4732
   $MyValue[6] = 4660
ENDIF
RETURN $MyValue[1],$MyValue[2],$MyValue[3],$MyValue[4],$MyValue[5],$MyValue[6]

    Thank you again! With this code, I just limit the manual data entry only on 1 value. Have a nice day Roberto
