Custom values on an array

  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

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

  $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]

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

  $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
