You could say:

  if Month(Date) = 12 and DayOfMonth(Date) >= 10 and
      DayOfMonth(Date) <= 15 then ...

Try:

    Value1 = Mod(CurrentBar + Offset,50);
    if Value1 >= 0 and Value1 <= 5 then Plot1(L - Distance, "Cycle");

where "Offset" adjusts the position in the 50 day cycle and "Distance" is
the distance under the low where you want to plot.
