BEST USA Bank Holidays HelperHello traders
This is a quick helper displaying the US bank holidays labels 1 day before the actual bank holiday date
Useful to be reminded when it's better to not trade as the big "whales" aren't trading either - and are probably drinking cocktails on their yachts in the Caribbeans island
This is my way of saying that, the days where the USA are off, the derivatives like indices aren't likely to give big opportunities
Of course, big move might happen but statistically, we're better off going to the Caribbeans islands as well (or preparing for the next trading day)
Bonus
The indicator displays in fuschia (never knew how to write that word properly without checking google first...) the 2019 US bank holidays
Best regards and enjoy your cocktails today :)
