I was trying to say that you can substitute the code snippets that I gave into the original code that you copied from (i.e. replace the newDay array with a newWeek or newMonth array).
Below is a complete working program for your example strategy. Comment out the weekly setting and uncomment the monthly setting to see it applied to a monthly restriction. Look at the Trace tab in the Log window to see the output.
Required reading would be
SetTradeDelays(0, 0, 0, 0);
SetPositionSize(2, spsPercentOfEquity);
FastMA =
MA(Close, 5);
SlowMA = MA(Close, 10);
Buy = Cross(FastMA, SlowMA);
BuyPrice = Close;
Sell = Cross(SlowMA, FastMA);
SellPrice = Close;
SetCustomBacktestProc("");
if (Status("action") == actionPortfolio) {
_TRACE("Begin custom backtest");
bo =
GetBacktesterObject();
bo.PreProcess();
/* Weekly */
weekDays = DayOfWeek();
newPeriod = weekDays < Ref(weekDays, -1);
/* Monthly
months = Month();
newPeriod = months != Ref(months, -1);
*/
dates =
DateTime();
hadTradeThisPeriod = False;
for (i = 0; i < BarCount; i++) {
if (newPeriod[i]) {
_TRACE("");
_TRACE("Begin new period.");
hadTradeThisPeriod = False;
}
_TRACE("Bar: " + i + ", " + NumToStr(dates[i], formatDateTime));
for (sig = bo.GetFirstSignal(i); sig; sig = bo.GetNextSignal(i)) {
if (sig.IsEntry() && sig.IsLong()) {
if (hadTradeThisPeriod) {
sig.PosSize = 0;
_TRACE(" Skipped signal for " + sig.Symbol);
} else {
hadTradeThisPeriod = True;
_TRACE(" Accepted signal for " + sig.Symbol);
}
}
}
bo.ProcessTradeSignals(i);
}
bo.PostProcess();
}
