dayofmonth - Pine Script Variable

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=6
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)
