Montlhy Bar Counter

Recommended Posts

hi

 

i am trying to build a monthly bar counter in the same manner as a daily bar counter in intraday charts ...

 

 
value1 = value1 + 1 ;

if date <> date[1] then
value1 = 1 ;

 

replacing reserved word date with reserved word month wont do since you have to enter the specific yyymmdd format that corensponds with a specific month.

 

month(1080101) will return 1 for january for example.

 

is there a way to build a monthly bar counter ????

 

it can be of great use in strategies...

(for example :

if first x trades this month have a negative profit sum then stop trading the rest of the month)

 

regards

try this:

 

var:
month.count(0);

if month(date) <> month(date)[1] then
month.count = month.count + 1 ;

 

 

p.s. avoid using generic variable names (ie value1, value2, etc.)

because it is going to come back to haunt you.
