Hi rajatheroyal,

 

You could compile a list of Holidays/Half-Days from Indian Exchanges and replace the U.S. exchanges HOLIDAYS data in the ELD posted.

if you can describe your thought process...

you can program it

 

I can write it out for you,

but I would do you a disservice,

because you will come back again,

and again,

to ask similar "thinking required" questions,

like what you are doing now.

 

my suggestion:

write out your thoughts,

one logic at a time,

one action at a time,

one action per sentence,

ONE SENTENCE PER LINE

I repeat,

ONE SENTENCE PER LINE

 

you can make it if you want to,

You are correct Tams.I understand that u want others to think and work before asking any question,but when we are urgent and want immediate results we sometimes think "why not post in a forum any experienced person will answer".

Sorry Tams if i have wasted ur time here after please ingore my questions in the forum.:)

I say what I said...

because the logical requirement is very simple,

so as the solution... it is VERY VERY VERY simple...

if only you would take the time to write out your thoughts as I suggested.

 

note taken, I will put you on ignore.

If you did what Tam's suggested and read what he told you, you would know the answer...

 

If your statement say "Buy next bar on open" and there is no data,i.e. no bar exist for the 10th, on what bar would this statement buy?

not super elegant but one solution is just to build the holiday dates in as a condition:

 

-------------------------

 

condition1=

date<>1101009 and

date<>1101008; //reads as. to pass this condition, the date does not equal the following, I made it 10/10/08 and 10/10/09 just for illustrative purposes

 

if condition1 then buy next bar on open;

 

-------------------------

 

why all the snarky answers guys? just a simple solution takes about same amount of effort.

...because you have just demonstrated what would happen if you don't put on your thinking hat.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
