Re: [amibroker] Specifying Days of Month

["Steve Dugas" <sjdugas@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi - Here is a quick and dirty one you can try, however I am shifting an 
array backward to get the Buys so I think probably the latest buy won't show 
up until the 1st of the following month rolls around, hopefully good enough 
for a quick backtest though...

Steve

FirstDay = Day() < ref( Day(), -1 );
SecondDay = ref( FirstDay, -1 );
SixthLastDay = ref( FirstDay, 6 );
Buy = SixthLastDay;
Sell = SecondDay;
