Is there an easy way to take the close on a specific date (say C'3/11/09') and compare it to a close 200 trading days prior. I've tried C'3/11/09'.200 but it doesn't seem to work. I know I can just count the days prior manually using the cursor but is there a better way to find a prior close date without counting manually.

No. The date replaces the Bars Ago parameter and cannot be used in addition to the Bars Ago parameter. You need to know both dates.

Any slick way to find the prior date without hitting the keyboard 200 times?

If you have a Custom Cumulative Indicator with an Up Condition that is always True (such as C > C - 1), a Down Condition that is always False (such as C < C - 1) and constant Value to Add/Subtract (such as C / C) Plotted in the Top Pane, you can bring up the Pointer Mode Data Box by selecting the period key (.) on your keyboard twice to bring up its Values (selecting the period key a third time will disable Pointer Mode) and use subtraction to figure out the difference in Bars between dates.
