    Based on what u described u don't need an array. The date filter can b created via stringing together dates using the reserved word "or".
    Code:
    if d=1160226 or d=1160225 {or d=next d in ur list} then begin
        plot1(c,"c");  // test this in an indicator until you're certain it's working right
        // then move it to a strategy and replace your plots with buy and sell commands
    end;
    
    this uses an array but both ways *independently* achieve the same result. Don't use both. Pick the one u prefer.
    Code:
    var: x(0);
    array: ohyeah[100](0);
    
    once begin
      ohyeah[1]=1160226;
      ohyeah[2]=1160225;
      // complete this list for all your dates up to your 100th date
      ohyeah[100]=1010203;
    end;
    
    for x=1 to 100 begin
      if d=ohyeah[x] then begin
          plot2(c,"c"); // replace this plot with your strategy code
      end;
    end;

    But u don't need your list of dates from excel. Calculate your excel conditions directly within TS and then all u need is something similar to this

    if condition1=true then buy next bar market else if condition2=true then sellshort next bar market;

    tis EasyLanguage to learn. Won't take u very long at all and u will b happy.

  3. Wow Dratsum,

    Looks like that is what I needed. I can adjust it and play with it for awhile and then I will let you know how it all worked out. I really appreciate it.
