January 1 is still a holiday.
But why did Z2 then try to trade on that day? I got several "can't close" and "can't open" messages during January 1. On Christmas on the other hand Zorro properly suspended trading:
Market closes on 25.12. 00:00
Market opens on 26.12. 00:00
I'm sorry that you lost money, but it is certainly not due to "huge spread" and adding more holidays would not help.
Well, the trade was closed with profit...
But I still think that opening or closing a trade immediately after the markets opened (--> big spread) is not beneficial and waiting until spreads came down to a more normal level is a better option. I guess if the strategy properly suspended trading on 1.1. it would not have closed the trade at the first chance it could (to rectify the previous omission of the closing) but would maybe have decided only at the next "strategy action time" at 1:xy AM to close it.
Markets opened at 23:00 and Zorro closed the trade at 23:00:03 (22:00:01 in Zorro's log)):
