about calendars

Richard Gomes
Hi guys,

I implemented an Option valuation procedure written in Java and I needed to
calculate the working days. As I'm brazilian, I started with Brazilian
calendar.

In QuantLib, it is defined here
http://quantlib.org/reference/class_quant_lib_1_1_brazil.html

It is correct, except that BOVESPA (the brazilian exchange house) will be
closed on these dates as well:

25-January : a municipal holiday
09-July    : a state holiday

My question is: Shouldn't we consider all dates when the exchange house will
be closed?

Thanks

Hi Richard,
 
If you take a look at the US or UK calendar classes, there are examples of implementing more than one holiday schedule within the same financial location.
 
In the case of UK (financial location), I believe there are settlement as well as Metals holiday rules.
 
You can, if you wish, use this as an example for adding a new holiday schedule.
 
Toy out.

Right. In your case, there would be Brazil::BACEN and Brazil::BACESPA
calendars.

And of course, we'll be happy to add your patch to the library if you
were to contribute it.

Later,
