something wrong with dayofweek = 5?

jebus89 · 2020-04-05T18:46:44+00:00

Hello, stumbled upon this weird thing. When using the following code i get weird results, K = 1 both thursday and friday, but if i use weekday = 1, 2, 3 or 4, i get K =1 only on that spesific day. This is true (for me) on any market. More wird stuff, dayofweek = 1 gives me k=1 on sundays, dayofweek = 2 gives me k=1 on mondays dayofweek = 3 gives me k=1 on tuesdays Dayofweek = 4 gives me k=1 on wedensdays dayofweek = 5 gives me k=1 on thursdays and fridays Dayofweek = 6 gives me k=0 always Dayofweek = 7 gives me k=0 always Guessing this is because i have weekend on? Still weird they havnt fixed that so sunday = day 6/7 or at elast split thursday and friday.. k = 0 if DayOfWeek = 5 then k = 1 elsif dayofweek = not 5 then k = 0 endif return k

More wird stuff,

dayofweek = 1 gives me k=1 on sundays,

dayofweek = 2 gives me k=1 on mondays

dayofweek = 3 gives me k=1 on tuesdays

Dayofweek = 4 gives me k=1 on wedensdays

dayofweek = 5 gives me k=1 on thursdays and fridays

Dayofweek = 6 gives me k=0 always

Dayofweek = 7 gives me k=0 always

Guessing this is because i have weekend on? Still weird they havnt fixed that so sunday = day 6/7 or at elast split thursday and friday..
```
k = 0

if DayOfWeek = 5 then
k = 1
elsif dayofweek = not 5 then
k = 0
endif

return k
```

Can update that the code work in other timeframes, showing k = 1 only on fridays data.. but on daily timeframe it still shows k = 1 on thursday and friday.

I think you’d better use NOT = 5, because you are comparing DayOfWeek with, I guess, 2, since NOT 5 is 2, in binary math:

5 = 101

Not 5 = 010 (which is 2)

or:

5 = 0101

Not 5 = 1010 (which is 10)

I am not sure what kind of comparison PRT make, maybe not just a nibble but the whole byte (which yield 250) , who knows?!

Or maybe NOT 5 = 0?

Create this indicator:
```
RETURN Not 5
```
to see what’s returned.
