Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] How do I write the code to buy/sell on the first business day?

Hi Eric


Assuming that your data does not contain non-trading days then Month()<>Ref(Month(),-1) should define the first trading day of each month. This returns a TRUE when the current bar is for a different month than the previous bar, i.e on the transition from one month to the next.

  I would like to enter a command to buy on the first business day of 
  each month. I know how to write it for the first day, dayofmonth()=1; 
  however, I would like the first "business day".

  Any suggestions?

  Thanks!

  Eric
