ForexDate
Calculate the date of the current forex day.
A forex week begins when the Wellington/Sydney forex markets open (Sun 5pm EST) and closes when the New York forex market closes (Fri 5pm EST).
In order to calculate daily OHCL bars, the around the clock forex week can be split in 5 days:
| day | from | to |
|---|---|---|
| monday | Sun 5pm EST | Mon 5pm EST |
| tuesday | Mon 5pm EST | Tue 5pm EST |
| wednesday | Tue 5pm EST | Wed 5pm EST |
| thursday | Wed 5pm EST | Thu 5pm EST |
| friday | Thu 5pm EST | Fri 5pm EST |
For example, if current time is Thu May 24 06:38:34 UTC 2012:
ForexDate.today => Thu, 24 May 2012
On saturdays and sundays it returns nil. If current time is Sat May 26 06:38:34 UTC 2012:
ForexDate.today => nil
