HOL - Holiday's effect EA

Interesting periods to be studied are the days that precede and follow public holidays, such as Christmas and New Year.In fact, days preceding holidays are generally associated to a positive mood, which cause a greater propension to risk. Instead, the days following holidays are generally associated to a negative mood and so more aversion to take risks. To know more about the HOL strategies, click here to read the article.

Requirements

The EA needs a csv file containing the holiday's entry and exit dates to work. Holidays are different according to country, and each combination of instrument-strategy generates different holiday's entry and exit dates. For example, "HOL_B_3_1" on S&P 500 has different entry and exit dates than "HOL_C_3_3" on S&P 500 and both ones have different dates than "HOL_B_3_1" in Dax. To know more read the article linked above.

• To get the holiday's entry and exit dates for a specific instrument and strategy, from 1971 to 2050, contact us and we will send you the csv file.
• The .csv file has to be placed, to trade in real time in "MQL4/Files/BTM-Files/Dates" and to backtest in "tester/BTM-Files/Dates". The csv file name must be equal to the "EA Name", which is an input parameter of the Expert Advisor.

NB: The EA and needs "Main EA and libraries" to work, and has the features described in its product description.
