Why are there no CurrentDay function?

  So in PRT there are a CurrentYear, CurrentMonth, CurrentWeek, CurrentHour and CurrentMinute function.

  Yet no CurrentDay function???

  I have found a workaround by checking currentdayofweek against dayofweek but that is not entirely reliable.

  Just take the command “Day” instead. I think the only difference between the “current” time commands and the general commands such as

  “CurrentMinute”

  or

  “minute”

  is that “minute” can be combined with parentheses, like

  “minute[2]” ,

  and so can give time information on past bars.

  “CurrentMinute”, however, only gives the current minute, no time information on other bars.
