Fed Reserve Anncmnts

[spottysallrite]

The market goes crazy immediately after each Federal Reserve announcement. I do a lot of backtesting and would like for my strategies not to trade for the 15’ around these anncments.
My current way of dealing with this is to simply have my script not trade between 11:00 and 11:15. However, I have that for every trading day, not just the Fed anncmnt days.
The better way to do this is to have my script not trade during that time only on those days. So, I’d like to put those dates in my script. Yes, I could go to the Fed’s webpage and put those dates into my script. But, before I do that, I’m wondering how others deal with this issue.

Hello spottysallrite,

I'm not aware of any way to load a list of dates without these being read from a file or added to the script in an array.
