RE: Day of Week?

Write "If DayOfWeek(Date) = 1 then ..."

That will get the day of the week from the date of the current bar.  1 is
Monday.

Yeah, that's what I assumed until I tried it.  Unfortunately
the DayOfWeek function takes a date as an argument and
returns the day of the week on which that date falls:

DayOfWeek(990102) would give you the day of the week
for January 2, 1999.

This is not what I'd hoped to accomplish, and I don't see
any other way to do it.

Thanks anyway.
