Example how to backtest specific date(s) which can be useful for testing seasonality strategy ideas such as "Sell in May", etc.
If using Daily period with wild card dates it will not trade on 1st day of month. If market is closed will trade on next open day.
Works only with Daily or lower timeframes. When using on Daily timeframe set dates 1 day earlier to execute on desired dates.
Entering 0 in any of the date fields acts a wild card. Example -> Entry Year: 0 is "Every Year", Exit Month: 0 is "Every Month", etc.

Hello. Is it possible to load several specific trade dates on this script? If not, what changes would need made to do this?

@dusty8, this script allows for repeatable patterns by using numeral 0 as a wild card. For example Exit Month 2 would exit only during the month of February whereas Exit Month 0 would exit every month. The logic would be similar for individual dates but would require individual declarations for each date and individual time evaluations for each date.
