Hey, has somebody written a formula that identifies Opex days and weeks for different markets?

Lets say i want to run a backtest, and i want to only trade during Op-ex weeks or on a specific day of opex week.

I would look at think or swim platform, they have a thinkback feature which allows you to get daily closing prices from a backdated calendar. So you could see how a short straddle for example would work if you put it on monday.
Thats about the best thing I can think of of the top of my head, otherwise you have to get option data and write it up in excel quite a job.
