End of Month

Here is another date function that can be used to make correspondence between trading bars and actual dates in the calendar. It is named 'EndOfMonth' and it returns 1 for the trading bar that corresponds to the last day in the month. Its principle is simple; it loops through the trading bars, gets their corresponding days of month in the calendar; if the value corresponding to the next bar is lower than the one corresponding to the current bar, the end of month is detected and the function returns. For example, for the month of October 2009, 31st was a Saturday; therefore the function will return 1 for October 30th and 0 for the other bars of the same month.

Example:
To detect the end of a month:
EndOfMonth() == 1
To detect the beginning of a month:
ref(EndOfMonth(), 1) == 1
To create a rule that returns 1 for the first 10 bars of the month:
hhv(ref(EndOfMonth(), 1), 10)

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
