You can do this by expressing the specific date as a DateNum then triggering a Buy/Sell/Short/Cover for a specific symbol Name when DateNum() == your date. You can hard code the dates in your script, or read them in from a file.
e.g.
// Convert specific dates (e.g. June 27, 2007 - July 16, 2007) to DateNum
myAABuyDate = ((2007 - 1900) * 10000); // Year
myAABuyDate += (6 * 100); // Month
myAABuyDate += 27; // Day
myAASellDate = ((2007 - 1900) * 10000); // Year
myAASellDate += (7 * 100); // Month
myAASellDate += 16; // Day
// Trade specific symbol for specific dates
SetTradeDelays(0, 0, 0, 0);
dates = DateNum();
Buy = Name() == "AA" AND myAABuyDate == dates;
BuyPrice = Open;
Sell = Name() == "AA" AND myAASellDate == dates;
SellPrice = Open;
Plot(Close, "Price", colorDarkGrey, styleBar);
PlotShapes(shapeUpArrow * Buy, colorGreen);
PlotShapes(shapeDownArrow * Sell, colorRed);
