Yea,
I guess the problem is that it is buying on the next bar. You get the signal
on the first day.
If you were using an intra day system it would have you buy on the second
bar of the day which might work. The other answer is to come up with a way
to test for the last day of the month. Then you could buy the open of the
next bar. If you had to it would work to create an array with the number of
days in each month. Test for the last day, etc.
