Sometimes it becomes necessary to detect the trailing edge of a binary
signal. The Peak() & related hindsight functions can be very useful
in signaling these trailing edge signals.

Another example of binary trailing edge detection:
The MS indicator code below signals correct 1st & last trading days of
the month.
========================
Month's true start & end
========================
---8<---------------------------
{ Signals true start & end of month:
confirms signal at start of following month,
and signals last day of month in retrospect.}
{ Plot only on daily & intraday charts }
{ http://www.metastocktools.com }
{ Start of month }
nuMonth:=Month()<>Ref(Month(),-1);
{ End of month }
endMonth:=PeakBars(1,-nuMonth,1)=0
OR nuMonth=0 AND Cum(1)=LastValue(Cum(1));
{ Plot in own window }
nuMonth;-endMonth
