Custom values on an array

Geons · 2021-11-08T11:05:24+00:00

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
