Holidays algorithm

[Kostiantyn]

Hi guys! I want to write an algorithm that will manage the strategy during the holidays. I need to somehow get in a variable the hours and minutes of early closing and late opening. In order to then use this variable to close all orders and set a ban on opening deals 1 hour before stopping trading on a holiday. I have studied the reference manual (TradingHours.Holidays, TradingHours.PartialHolidays), but I cannot implement the algorithm. Tell me how to make this algorithm correctly. I would be grateful for the sample code. Thank.

Hello Kostiantyn,

The TradingHours.Holidays and TradingHours.PartialHolidays would be correct.
These provide a collection of dates of holidays.

You can check if the date of bar has the same date to know that the date of the bar is on a holiday by looping through the collection and comparing the date with the Time[0].Date.

A SessionIterator can be used if you want to know the time that session will end for that day, once you have determined the bar date is equal to the holiday date.

Use .AddHours(-1) to subtract an hour from a datetime or timespan.
