Identify last trading day of the week

[nysetrader]

Is there any function to identify last trading day of the week? I need it when week is short due to holidays, so the last trading day is Thursday.

Hello nysetrader,
Thanks for your post and I am happy to assist you.

There are no functions to determine the last trading week, but to know the day of the week you can use the DayOfWeek enum:

if (Time[0].DayOfWeek = DayOfWeek.Thursday)
{  // do something  }

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

I know how to know the day of week, but I need to know if it last trading day of the week or not.

Hello nysetrader,
Unfortunately there are no native functions for it. You can however hard code the specific days and compare it. Say if 18th and 26th are the date you are looking for then hard code the date in an array and look if the bar date matches it or not

in variable:

DateTime[] holidays = {new DateTime(2012,4,18), new DateTime(2012, 4, 26)};

in OnBarUpdate

if (Time[0].Date == holidays[0] || Time[0].Date == holidays[1])
{  // do something }

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
