The method I illustrated in my previous post would do this very easily.

You could also have a fake data stream for each symbol and import it as Date/Close data:

3/15/2001, 0
3/16/2001, 0
3/17/2001, 0
3/18/2001, 3
3/19/2001, 0
3/22/2001, 0
3/23/2001, 0
3/24/2001, 0
...

But the easiest solution might be to simply figure all the values you need in TradeStation in the first place.
