    Hi,

     

    In BackTesting and Auto Trading I am building a system and have an input that I have defined to contain multiple dates, say it contains 10 different dates .

    I am interested in the next day working day after each of those dates. How can I get this from the pre defined string of original dates?

     

    Thanks

    There you go:

    $MyDate[1]  = 20210918
$MyDate[2]  = 20211010
$MyDate[3]  = 20211019
$MyDate[4]  = 20211107
$MyDate[5]  = 20211201
$MyDate[6]  = 20211217
$MyDate[7]  = 20211225
$MyDate[8]  = 20220108
$MyDate[9]  = 20220122
$MyDate[10] = 20220206
CurDate     = Date       //or use OpenDate if you need the date at the opening of a bar, instead of that at the closing of a bar
NextDate    = 0          //defaults to an invalid date
FOR i = 1 TO 10
   IF (CurDate > $MyDate[i]) AND (CurDate[1] <= $MyDate[i]) THEN
      NextDate = CurDate //NextDate will retain the valid date
      Break
   ENDIF
NEXT
buy at -close limit      //useless action, but to comply with PRT's requirements
graph NextDate > 0       //plots TRUE logic value when a valid date is found
