Number of trading days per month

Magifina · 2020-02-20T18:29:52+00:00

Hello, In order to create a strategy based on seasonality, I would like to graph a variable that returns the number of trading days per month without including sunday candles. I can return with the following code the number of trading days including sundays. I have tried to add a “elsif dayofweek=2 then c1=c1” but it doesn”t work. Can someone help me? Magifina defparam cumulateorders=false IF openday>openday[1] THEN c1=c1+1 ELSE c1=1 ENDIF graph c1 // Conditions pour ouvrir une position acheteuse IF NOT LongOnMarket THEN BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET ENDIF // Conditions pour fermer une position acheteuse If LongOnMarket THEN SELL AT MARKET ENDIF

IF NOT LongOnMarket  THEN
BUY 1 CONTRACTS AT MARKET

Try this:
```
if openmonth<>openmonth[1] then
c1 = 0
endif

if openday <> openday[1] and openday <> 0 then 
c1 = c1 + 1
endif
```

Thanks for your quick answer Vonasi. I have found the solution. In fact openday <>0 must be replace by dayofweek <> 2 in order to work.
```
if openmonth<>openmonth[1] then
c1 = 0
endif
 
if openday <> openday[1] and dayofweek <> 2 then
c1 = c1 + 1
endif
```

Sorry – I just realised my typo – we need to use OPENDAYOFWEEK and not OPENDAY. Sunday is OPENDAYOFWEEK zero.

Better to check the open day rather than the day as if there is a bank holiday monday it will mess things up and you will count a Sunday.
```
if openmonth<>openmonth[1] then
c1 = 0
endif

if opendayofweek <> opendayofweek[1] and opendayofweek <> 0 then 
c1 = c1 + 1
endif
```
