Indicator variable inputs that change chart Experts, Explorations and
other indicators can be coded by using Mark Pyle's GV.dll
(GlobalVariable.dll):
===========================
Calendar Weekday of Month(2)
===========================
---8<----------------------
{ Calendar-absolute, Weekday-of-Month signals }
{ Plot on separate window below chart }
{ Refresh chart after changing inputs }
{ GV.dll must be in
...\MetaStock\External Function DLLs\ folder }
{ Download GV.dll from:

dayChosen:=Input("day: [1]Mon, [2]Tue, [3]Wed, [4]Thu, [5]Fri",1,
7,5);
weekChosen:=Input("[1]st [2]nd [3]rd [4]th [5]th week in month",
1,5,1);
plot:=Input("plot: [1]Weekday signals, [2]Weekday count",1,2,1);
day:=DayOfWeek()=dayChosen;
d:=DayOfMonth();
signalCount:=
If(day AND d<=7,1,
If(day AND d>7 AND d<=14,2,
If(day AND d>14 AND d<=21,3,
If(day AND d>21 AND d<=28,4,
If(day AND d>28,5,0)))));
signal:=weekChosen=signalCount;
x:=ExtFml("GV.SetVar","WoMsignal",signal);
If(plot=1,signal,signalCount)
---8<----------------------
====================
Explorer/Expert code
