Months are pretty clear i.e. they begin and end whent the month in a date changes ...
Week is not so clear ... Are they every 5 bars ? ( What about Holidays ? ) ... Do they end on every Friday and/or begin on every Monday ( Again, what about Holidays ? ) But in any case it is relatively simple to create a working function for week# or biweek# once you decide what a week means to you. --- In [email protected], "chapman49682" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > A suggestion I made at the AmiBroker site recently was a "WEEK" > function similar to "MONTH".
