RE: [amibroker] Three Day Weekend

["Graham" <gkavanagh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could make it a bit simpler

 

ThreeDayWeekend<span
>  = Dayofweek() &#8211; ref(dayofweek(),
1)  < 4 ;

 

Of course this does not take into account if the particular
days were an actual long weekend, or whether the Friday or Monday just were not
traded that day. So you could need to add in additional parameters for checking
against an index as example using the foreign type functions.

 

Gary, don&#8217;t forget that Easter is 4 day. (at least in
Australia)

 



Cheers,
Graham

Any help is appreciated.
