RE: [amibroker] First trading day of the hear

["Terry" <MagicTH@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Firstday = IIf(Year() != Ref(Year(),-1),1,0); 
//Will be True on 1st trading day of the year

I just did that since a friend thought it was a high probability day
from VTOReport.com. They also said last trading day of the year was 90%
up. It's not. It's 50/50 for the past 21 years on both Nasdaq100 and
Russell2K and so is the first day of the year.

You really want the last day of the year so you can Buy at the Close
then and Sell the next day close. Be sure to set trade delays to 0 and
prices to Close. 

Here's all the code. You don't need the Month() part, but it's needed
for checking last day of the year (with some changes) and it still
works.

//BEGIN CODE
"Test first day of the year";
SetChartOptions(1,chartShowDates);

Lastday = IIf(Month() != Ref(Month(),1) AND Year() !=
Ref(Year(),1),1,0);

Buy = Lastday;
Sell = Ref(Lastday,-1);
Short = Cover = 0;

Plot(C,Name(),colorBlack,styleDots);

Plot(Lastday,"Entry day",colorGreen,styleHistogram|styleOwnScale);
Plot(Sell,"Exit day",colorRed,styleHistogram|styleOwnScale);

//END CODE

How do I determine the first trading day of the year?  
I'd like to run an exploration to determine the gains on the first
trading
day of the past few years?

thanks
