Ignoring the first 5 trading days of each month

[ketoma21]

Hello

I’m trying to find a way to write an IF statement on every new month the EFS will not start calculating until 5 TRADING days passes and then it will calculated for the rest of the month.

Here is the beginning

if(month(0)!=month(-1)){


How do you make it ignore the first 5 trading days of each month.

Thank you

I actually got on here because I wanted to do something similar. I'd like to modify my exising study so that if its between 11:30 and 14:00 (deadzone) that it will pass on taking any trades. Any ideas?

Thx

Here is a scheme for the first 5 days...
Find out if the month is starting by using your example
or use if day(0) < day(-1)// i.e. todays date is less than yesterdays ie a new month
then set a variable to 0
then every day(0) > day(-1) increment variable by 1 til the variable =5 then start your routine
