Re: First trading day of the month?

Try the month reserved word:

	if month(date) > month(date)[1] then ...
 
you have a new month, namely a new trading day.
Of course, the 12th month is followed by the fist month so
you need either modulo division, or an if statement to
determine that the year was over and a new year begun.

Enjoy,
