Header for global bank and currency exchange holidays.
worldFxHoliday.mqh encapsulates a reusable holiday‐calendar module for MQL5, enabling scripts to load, store, and query currency‐specific holiday dates via an object‐oriented interface.
##### Core Responsibilities
Defines the *HolidayEntry* class
* Inherits from *CObject* to support cloning and integration with array/list containers
* Encapsulates three fields: currency code (m\_currency), holiday name (m\_name), and exact date (m\_date)
* Provides accessors (*Date(), Currency(), Name()*) for safe retrieval of entry data
Implements the *CHolidays* manager class
* Maintains an internal CList or *CArrayObj* of cloned *HolidayEntry* objects
* Offers *LoadHolidays()* to populate the list from a static definition or external source, computing both fixed and dynamic holidays (e.g., nth weekday events)
* Exposes *IsHoliday(datetime date, string currency)* to determine whether a given date is a holiday for a specified currency
* Leverages MQL5’s built-in *StructToTime* and *TimeToStruct* (disambiguated where necessary) to convert between datetime and structured date representations
Ensures modularity and future-proofing
* Uses include guards (#ifndef…#define…) and clearly namespaced file naming
* Integrates cleanly with other utility modules (ArrayObj, List, Object, StdLibErr) for dependency-driven extension
##### Typical Use Case
1. Include worldFxHoliday.mqh in an Expert Advisor or script.
2. Instantiate *CHolidays*, call *LoadHolidays()* at initialization.
3. On each tick or at critical decision points, invoke *IsHoliday(TimeCurrent(), "USD")* (or another currency) to determine if trading logic should respect market closures.
