HolidayLibrary "Holiday"
- Full Control over Holidays and Daylight Savings Time (DLS)
The Holiday Library is an essential tool for traders and analysts who engage in backtesting and live trading . This comprehensive library enables the incorporation of crucial calendar elements - specifically Daylight Savings Time (DLS) adjustments and public holidays - into trading strategies and backtesting environments.
Key Features:
- DLS Adjustments: The library takes into account the shifts in time due to Daylight Savings. This feature is particularly vital for backtesting strategies, as DLS can impact trading hours, which in turn affects the volatility and liquidity in the market. Accurate DLS adjustments ensure that backtesting scenarios are as close to real-life conditions as possible.
- Comprehensive Holiday Metadata: The library includes a rich set of holiday metadata, allowing for the detailed scheduling of trading activities around public holidays. This feature is crucial for avoiding skewed results in backtesting, where holiday trading sessions might differ significantly in terms of volume and price movement.
- Customizable Holiday Schedules: Users can add or remove specific holidays, tailoring the library to fit various regional market schedules or specific trading requirements.
- Visualization Aids: The library supports on-chart labels, making it visually intuitive to identify holidays and DLS shifts directly on trading charts.
Use Cases:
1. Strategy Development: When developing trading strategies, it’s important to account for non-trading days and altered trading hours due to holidays and DLS. This library enables a realistic and accurate representation of these factors.
2. Risk Management: Trading around holidays can be riskier due to thinner liquidity and greater volatility. By integrating holiday data, traders can better manage their risk exposure.
3. Backtesting Accuracy: For backtesting to be effective, it must simulate the actual market conditions as closely as possible. Incorporating holidays and DLS adjustments contributes to more reliable and realistic backtesting results.
4. Global Trading: For traders active in multiple global markets, this library provides an easy way to handle different holiday schedules and DLS shifts across regions.
The Holiday Library is a versatile tool that enhances the precision and realism of trading simulations and strategy development . Its integration into the trading workflow is straightforward and beneficial for both novice and experienced traders.
EasterAlgo(_year)
Calculates the date of Easter Sunday for a given year using the Anonymous Gregorian algorithm.
`Gauss Algorithm for Easter Sunday` was developed by the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss
This algorithm is based on the cycles of the moon and the fact that Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or after March 21.
While it's not considered to be 100% accurate due to rare exceptions, it does give the correct date in most cases.
It's important to note that Gauss's formula has been found to be inaccurate for some 21st-century years in the Gregorian calendar. Specifically, the next suggested failure years are 2038, 2051.
This function can be used for Good Friday (Friday before Easter), Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday (following Monday).

MarketHolidaysLibrary "MarketHolidays"
The MarketHolidays library compiles market holidays (including historical special market closures) into arrays, which can then be utilized in TradingView indicators and strategies to account for non-trading days. The datasets were split into different libraries to overcome compiling limitations, streamline the process of removing specific time frames if not needed, and to enhance code execution speed. The timestamps are generated using a custom Python script that employs the 'pandas_market_calendars' library. To build your own set of arrays, you can find the script and instructions at github.com
