Please how to find the day of month

[Julianrob]

I've read all the posts on this and it's not clear. I want to filter out certain days of the month like day 19 by not including them in trading. Here is what I tried but didn't succeed, I don't know why?

Then I saw fxdreema's post (https://fxdreema.com/shared/iB1YvWgSb) but it goes over my head. So here I want to write a condition to exclude this day 19 - Am I on the right track? It doesn't work yet

Any help would be much appreciated. Also if the day of month could be put into an input variable too that would be awesome

You can get it like this: https://fxdreema.com/shared/9qnCuF8Pd condition block variable == 19 will give you the what you want

I'm not quite following you. I got the custom code, that makes sense. But how will I write that condition to exclude that day?
How would it be written below to do buy trades each day except day 19?

Download and test that, in the comment on backtest you will see it displays the current day of the month number

Thanks I’ll take a look, maybe I can learn more from your book I just ordered. But still not clear how an example code could look to exclude days

@Julianrob
Add a condition: day_of_month!=19

[Julianrob]

Thanks @sktsec

But I really don't understand the mql4 language at all. How can I do this? I've got this:

@jstap Wouldn't the option selected on the first post do exactly what your custom code does?

[jstap]

@l-andorrà Maybe I sometimes prefer to use custom because it gives me a direct reference to what is happening. I also didn't test that to see what happened.

@Julianrob I do Somthing Like This https://fxdreema.com/shared/T0HAriLpd

Here is my version. It does the exact same as Vahab's solution. It's a step longer for your case but could be useful for different needs.

@Vahab-K Thankyou, you are genius, it works perfectly!
@JayPhillbrooks Yes, I believe this would work well too. Filtering out certain days of the month is very helpful for enhancing performance

@jstap Ok. Thanks.
