You don't need an array for this.  You just need to remember the High 
and Low of the outside day, and issue the orders based on that.

Try this:

        Inputs:  Ndays(9);
        
        Vars:  OutsideDay(-100), OutHigh(0), OutLow(0), 
               DaysBack(0), OneTick(MinMove points);
        
        If high > high[1] and low < low[1] then begin
          OutsideDay = CurrentBar;
          OutHigh = High;
          OutLow = Low;
          end;
        
        DaysBack = CurrentBar - OutsideDay;
        
        if (DaysBack <= Ndays) then begin
          Buy at OutHigh + OneTick stop;
          Sell at OutLow - OneTick stop;
          end;

You wouldn't even HAVE to use the OutHigh/OutLow variables -- you 
could use High[DaysBack] and Low[DaysBack] instead -- but I thought 
this made the code a little simpler to understand.

This code buys/sells one tick beyond the High/Low of the outside bar 
instead of exactly at the High/Low.
