No problem. I've thrown in the algorithm. The beginning only without the graph, that is to say like this:

НомерДНЯвМесяце=str.day;

you need the number of the week of the month :)

pako:
I need the number of the week of the month :)

I can't do it on 5 and it's not customary here on 4.

If I'm allowed, I'll write the code and post it.

pako:
what difference does it make 4 or 5 ???, the time is the same :)))

Paco, I don't know how to do 5 and I don't see the point anymore :)

Write in 4.

pako:
Write on 4

Probably not the right one. This is the beginning, criticism is welcome, we will do as required.

Put the EA in the tester, switch on visual mode, select TF D1, and watch the prints in the log.

Let's start the EA in the tester, switch on visual mode, select TF D1, and look at the prints in the log.

it does not show correctly

shows 3 weeks and today is week 4 22.08.2016

pako:
In Excel, the week=1+INT((A1-DATE(YEAR(A1+4-WEEKDAY(A1+6));1;5)+WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(A1+4-WEEKDAY(A1+6));1;3))/7)

We should also put in when the 1st of the month falls on a weekend, as the tester doesn't spin weekends... Didn't see about the excel.

Well, and to roll in initialization from a couple of months ago AND to the current month would not hurt, so as not to wait for the end of the calculation of the number of the week a whole month. But these are all nuances ....

That's what makes MQL4 so attractive - the code is short and clear!

It does not calculate correctly

Doesn't count correctly

Okay. At what point? At the end of the month? I checked the calendar...
