dayofmonth - PineScript Variable

`dayofmonth`

Overview

The day number of the month, in the exchange time zone, calculated from the bar’s opening UNIX timestamp.

Type

int

Qualifier

series

Remarks

The value is based on the bar’s open. Overnight sessions may return the previous calendar day on the first session bar.
Combine with time_tradingday to align bars to the trading day rather than the calendar timestamp.
Use numeric comparisons (dayofmonth == 1) to detect monthly session boundaries.

Example

//@version=5
indicator("Month boundary highlight", overlay=true)

isFirstDay = dayofmonth != dayofmonth[1]

bgcolor(isFirstDay ? color.new(color.purple, 82) : na,
    title="First day of month")

plotshape(isFirstDay, style=shape.labeldown, text=str.tostring(dayofmonth),
    color=color.new(color.purple, 0), textcolor=color.white)
