signal test w/ specific date options

Hello Optuma,

When running a signal on a specific date (example - Nov 16th) to generate results based on a specific calendar cycle, some years may or may not have trading dates on Nov 16th and therefore the signal tester will skip those years. I have figured out a way to script around this but I was wondering if built-in specific date functionality would make sense where IF a static date falls on a non-trading day to then “buy last available close” or “buy next available open” type of options.

Hi Mathew, 
Here is an example how I programmed the signal tester
to buy on 9/5 and if that date fell on a weekend or non-trading day 
to then pickup the next available date. Jeff
a1 = MONTHNUM() ==9;
a2 = DAYNUM() >4 and DAYNUM() < 9;
a3 = NOREPEAT(a2, BARS=5);
a1 and a3
