    Check whether Bar is last bar of current month

    Hi

    I was searching already the forum and found some similar discussions, but not exactly what I look for.

    In my strategy I want to know whether the current bar is the last bar of that month.
    Example: Time[0] = 29th March 2019. This would be the last bar of the month "March 2019", because 30th March is Saturday and the next bar I have in the data set is 1st of April 2019.

    I guesst the problem is that one cannot look forward in the dataset. But maybe there is a function or a way to identify whether the current bar ist last bar of the month?

    Hello Beauregard, thank you for your post.

    I found this solution on getting the last business day of the month:

    You can check if Times[0][0].Day == the calculated day from that solution and also use IsLastBarOfSession to get a "last bar of month" condition.

    Best regards.

      hi Chris

      thanks for the feedback. Yes, I am aware that it can be calculated,there are also libraries returning for a given date & stock exchange, whether it is a business day or not.
      However, if NT would have had such a function, it would be much easier, since NT "knows" the data in the dataseries object.

        Hello Beauregard, thanks for your reply.

        I will submit a feature request to add a last bar of month method.
