price for a specified date

Not close[1] :-). I want a code for a specific date saying 20170101. Thanks!

Very simple. However it’s very important to keep in mind the date you input must be a day of open trade for the instrument being plotted. For example, your date of 20170101 returns N/A because markets were closed on that date. So I had to change the date to 20170103. Here is the code. Screenshot shows how this appears on the chart.

def priceAtDate = if GetYYYYMMDD() == 20170103 then close else Double.NaN;
plot scan = priceAtDate;
scan.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.ARROW_UP);

Thank you Pete! Yes it works perfectly on the chart. But the price on the quote still shows NaN :-). I need the price of 2017-01-03 shown on the quotes so I can use it for some scans. By the way can you write it further if I want the prices for May 1 from 2007 to 2017 (every year) :-)? Many thanks!

Pete, is GetYYYYMMDD()for current date? I want to get prices for old days. Something like Close("spy",GetYYYYMMDD() == 20170103) but not works :-). Please help! Thanks!

Pete, I think I got it :-). Here’s it. Could you polish it a little bit :-)? I want a script for prices changes in May in the last 5 years. Thanks a lot!

rec priceAtDate = if GetYYYYMMDD() == 20170103 then close else priceAtDate[1];
plot scan= if getYYYYMMDD() < 20170103 then Double.NaN else priceATDate;
