Pre-loop a chart

Postby signalworks » 19 Apr 2017

Hello,

is it possible to pre-loop a complete chart and start a final calculation after that?

Idea: I need the lastDayOfWeek, lastDayOfMonth and lastDayOfYear for a calculation. I can calc that with i.e. dayOfMonth(date) < dayofMonth(date[1]). Here I need the value a day earlier (at the lastDayOfWeek...).
Thanks.

regards,
sw

Hello signalworks,

No, I'm afraid, it is not possible.

You can get lastDayOfMonth and lastDayOfYear without a pre-loop.

Hello signalworks,
you could try with a condition

Code: Select all

If LastBarOnChart the begin
...
end;
Best regards.

What I understand from your post, you want to have the values of lastDayOfWeek, lastDayOfMonth and lastDayOfYear
on bar one of the chart to use in the calculation of other values. The problem is that these values are not known yet at bar 1.

Maybe you can have a separated indicator get those values and send these from the indicator to the signal with GV or ADE.
Just be sure to run the indicator first.

Hello signalworks,
I need the value a day earlier
what do you mean for a day earlier ?

For my understanding you recalc on close of every last bar

Code: Select all

i.e. dayOfMonth(today date) < dayofMonth(yesterday date)
and can not look into the future.

Someone asked the same question not too long ago.

I have already given the solution.
It is in the forum somewhere.
No pre-loop required.

Postby signalworks » 26 Apr 2017

Hi again,

I need the info: today is the last trading day of a month. (not a day later on beginning of the new month).
My solution is running over a date-calculation (except holidays), that calculates the weekday of the last day of month and if necessary (weekend) recalculates the last session day as follows (includes a bit overhead to check any relevant values). Thanks to you for your ideas above. I would be glad about your comments/criticism.

Hello signalworks,
Thanks to you for your ideas above. I would be glad about your comments/criticism.
please check your code, maybe the conditions in the switch-cases are not correct.

Code: Select all

or (owd = 0 and oda = 29)
or (owd = 6 and oda = 30)
I would say:

Code: Select all

or (owd = 5 and (oda = 29 or oda = 30))
You probably could have kept it all simpler, this way:

Code: Select all

// By Massimo Rizzi (Italy)

Vars:
Is_LastDayOfMonth(0);
// When month changes resets Is_LastDayOfMonth
if currentbar=1 or Month(date)<>Month(date)[1] then Is_LastDayOfMonth=0;

switch(month(date))
begin
// months with 31 days
case 1,3,5,7,8,10,12:
if (dayofweek(date)>0 and dayofweek(date)<6 and dayofmonth(date)=31)
or(dayofweek(date)=5 and (dayofmonth(date)=29 or dayofmonth(date)=30))
then Is_LastDayOfMonth=1;

// months with 30 days
case 4,6,9,11:
if (dayofweek(date)>0 and dayofweek(date)<6 and dayofmonth(date)=30)
or(dayofweek(date)=5 and (dayofmonth(date)=28 or dayofmonth(date)=29))
then Is_LastDayOfMonth=1;

// february
case 2:
if mod(year(date),4)=0 then begin
if(dayofweek(date)>0 and dayofweek(date)<6 and dayofmonth(date)=29)
or(dayofweek(date)=5 and (dayofmonth(date)=27 or dayofmonth(date)=28))
then Is_LastDayOfMonth=1;
end
else begin
if(dayofweek(date)>0 and dayofweek(date)<6 and dayofmonth(date)=28)
or(dayofweek(date)=5 and (dayofmonth(date)=26 or dayofmonth(date)=27))
then Is_LastDayOfMonth=1;
end;
end;

plot1(Is_LastDayOfMonth);
Please check the code, I do not have enough historical data available.

Best regards
Massimo

Re: Pre-loop a chart

Hi Massimo,

thank you for your solution. That works too and with less code (but ;-) why simple, if it can do complicated :wink: :lol: )
please check your code, maybe the conditions in the switch-cases are not correct.
The code related #wd is correct, because #wd is the calculated dayOfWeek of the last day of month. Is #wd a Sunday (0) so it is the 29th of month (1,3,5,8,10,12) the last trading-day (is #wd a saturday (6), so it is the 30th the last day for the above month's). #wd = 5 means, that the last day of month would be a friday, so it is the 31th the last day of above month's.

Only the leap-year calc in your code:
// february
case 2:
if mod(year(date),4)=0 then begin
should be:

Code: Select all

(mod(year(date), 4) = 0 and mod(year(date), 100) <> 0) or mod(year(date), 400) = 0
nice regards

yes, I like to keep it simple.
The correct version will only make a difference in 2100, but then maybe we will not be there. :wink: :D :D

In 2010 the last trading day in SPY was on Friday 05/28, in 2013 Thursday 03/28 . In this cases a modification is required.

Hello Helmut,
In 2010 the last trading day in SPY was on Friday 05/28, in 2013 Thursday 03/28 . In this cases a modification is required.
the question is why those days were the last trading day of the month ?
I suppose it is not a bug of the code but an anomaly of the market.
Let us know if you discover something.

Best regards.
Massimo

Hello Massimo,
in every timeseries there are some exeptions.

With this code you can be sure to catch all last trading days for a timeseries and export to a csv.

Code: Select all

//Indicator Monatsende

Var: Datei(" "), counter(0);

Datei = "D:\Temp\" & "LTD" & getsymbolname & ".csv" ;

if dayOfMonth(date) < dayofMonth(date[1]) then value1 = 1 else value1 = 0;
if dayOfMonth(date) < dayofMonth(date[1]) then value2 = barnumber else value2 = 0;
if value1 > value1[1] then counter = counter + 1;

If value1 = 1 then
begin
arw_new_bn(value2-1,high,true);
print(File(Datei), "lasttradingday[", counter :0:0,"] = ",date[1] :0:0,";");
end;
Copy and paste the list of
lasttradingday[1] = 980130;
...
lasttradingday[231] = 1170331;

to a signal or import from csv into a signal so you can trade on last trading day every month

Code: Select all

Positionseroeffnung am Monatsende plus x Tage
Style = 1: long, Style = 2: short,
Daily Zeitreihe benutzen}

Re: Pre-loop a chart

Hi Helmut,
unfortunately what you propose does not meet the requirements of signalworks
I need the info: today is the last trading day of a month. (not a day later on beginning of the new month).
Your code surely
catch all last trading days for a timeseries

but with a day of delay !!!

Then you plot the arrow at barnumber-1, but it is an artificial adjustment.

I think the right approach is to integrate the signalworks code, or my simplified version, which calculate the last day in correct time, with an input of dates for handling exceptions (holidays or special closures).

Best regards.
Max

Re: Pre-loop a chart

Postby signalworks » 02 May 2017

Hello Helmut,
In 2010 the last trading day in SPY was on Friday 05/28, in 2013 Thursday 03/28. In this cases a modification is required.
The 2010/05/31 was the Memorial Day in USA. The 2013/03/28 was the Good Friday.
http://www.wincalendar.com/Holiday-Calendar/May-2010
http://www.wincalendar.com/Holiday-Calendar/March-2013
For both (and in general) holidays is an additional logic necessary.

For my purposes, in those cases is

Code: Select all

month(date) <> month(date[1])
sufficient enough for me, because of lowly commonness of holidays accross the end of a month.

However, here an update of the function SWF_LastDayOf to "solve" those cases with my "solution":

Code: Select all

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//MODUL: Function SWF_LastDayOf
//DESCRIPTION: calculates LastDayOf (week|month|year)
//Author: Signalworks
//Version: 1.2
//Date: 02.05.2017
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Inputs: MODE_LDO(numericSimple), oflag_ldo(numericRef), odd(numericRef), omd(numericRef),
omd_last(numericRef), ome(numericRef), oyd(numericRef), ocd(numericRef), olc(numericRef),
owd(numericRef), oda(numericRef), omo(numericRef);

vars: dow(0);

oflag_ldo = 0;
oda = round(fracportion(date / 100) * 100,0);
omo = month(date);
value1 = SWF_DayOfWeek_v1.1(odd, omd, omd_last, ome, oyd, ocd, olc, owd);

switch(MODE_LDO)
begin
case 0:
//LastDayOfWeek
dow = dayOfWeek(date);
if dow = 5
then
oflag_ldo = 1;
case 1:
//LastDayOf->month|year
switch(omo)
begin
case 1,3,5,7,8,10,12:
if (owd > 0 and owd < 6 and oda = 31)
or (owd = 0 and oda = 29)
or (owd = 6 and oda = 30)
then
oflag_ldo = 1;

case 4,6,9,11:
if (owd > 0 and owd < 6 and oda = 30)
or (owd = 0 and oda = 28)
or (owd = 6 and oda = 29)
then
oflag_ldo = 1;

case 2:
if (owd > 0 and owd < 6 and oda = 28 + olc * (-1))
or (owd = 0 and oda = 26 + olc * (-1))
or (owd = 6 and oda = 27 + olc * (-1))
then
oflag_ldo = 1;
end;
end;

if month(date) <> month(date[1]) and oflag_ldo[1] <> 1
then
oFlag_ldo = 1;

SWF_LastDayOf_v1.2 = 0;
best regards,
sw
