Hi Claudio
You could just use ... Month()<>Ref(Month(),+1); This would always return N/A on the last bar. That wouldn't really matter with the EST because the code I added to eliminate the N/A result on the last bar of the test should give exactly the same result. An N/A column result on the last bar of an exploration, on the other hand, will guarantee you invalid results for every security. With Pete's suggestion the Buy Order code might look like this ... Month()<>Ref(Month(),+1) AND Month()=10; Whether you only use one month of the year or all 12 is something you didn't make clear. As for you not being an expert, if you take the time to work out why a suggestion works (or doesn't) then you will begin to learn. Each step you take will get you a little closer to being an expert. It's a process you need to go through. As for downloading something from the internet, my guess is that you do that quite frequently. The question should not be "why doesn't it work?" but "what am I doing wrong that it doesn't work for me?".

Other than not producing a signal on the last bar of data this should work just fine. Using the Forum DLL Ref function eliminates the N/A that would result on the last bar if the standard Ref() function was used instead. Note that the polarity of the Forum DLL Ref function Periods parameter is opposite to the standard function, so a negative value advances the signal rather than delaying it. >> >> >>Roy >> >> >> >>----- Original Message ----- >>From: cldsgr >>To: [email protected] >>Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 9:20 PM >>Subject: [EquisMetaStock Group] last day of month >> >> >> >>what I have to write in: "enter long" of the tester >>to buy the last day of month? >>thanks >>claudio >> >> >> >>__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 7524 (20120927) __________ >> >>The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. >> >>http://www.eset.com/ >> >> >>__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 7524 (20120927) __________ >> >>The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. >> >>http://www.eset.com/ >> >> __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 7526 (20120928) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 7526 (20120928) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
