How to get/calculate future ex-date for SPY?

T

taotree

My broker's API provides historical dividends dates, but not the next one, which I need. Is there some way to calculate or a source (programmatically accessible) to get the next ex-date for SPY?

you can have chat gpt convert this into any code you wish



function for multicharts

inputs:
Series( numericsimple ) ;

variables:
var0( 0 ),
var1( 0 ),
var2( 0 ),
var3( 0 ),
var4( 0 ),
var5( 0 ),
var6( 0 ),
var7( 0 ),
var8( 0 ),
var9( 0 ),
var10( 0 ) ;



var0 = DayOfMonth( Date ) ;
var1 = Month( Date ) ;
var2 = Year( Date ) ;

var3 = DayOfWeek( var2 * 10000 + var1 * 100 + 1 ) ;
if var3 < 6 then
var4 = 6 - var3
else
var4 = 7 ;

var5 = var4 + 14 ;
if var5 > var0 then
var7 = var1 + Series - 1
else
var7 = var1 + Series ;

if var7 > 12 then
begin
var7 = var7 - 12 ;
var8 = var2 + 1 ;
end
else
var8 = var2 ;

var3 = DayOfWeek( var8 * 10000 + var7 * 100 + 1 ) ;
if var3 < 6 then
var4 = 6 - var3
else if var3 = 6 then
var4 = 7 ;
var6 = var4 + 14 ;
var9 = DateToJulian( var8 * 10000 + var7 * 100 + var6 ) ;
var10 = DateToJulian( Date ) ;
Next3rdFriday = var9 - var10 ;



indicator for multicharts

condition1 = Next3rdFriday( 1 )[1] = 1 ;
if condition1 then
begin
PlotPaintBar( High, Low, "Expir" ) ;
Alert ;
end ;
 
I am referring more to the 2000 other stocks with variable dates and amounts. WSH does a good job updating the changing estimates for upcoming dividends, and we technology for seasonal patters and have a dividend person dedicated to updating and overriding where appropriate.

Thank you!
I figured it was something like that, but didn't see it specifically confirmed like that. I just realized, that's probably what the prospectus is for... Yep, here it is on page 75 (77 in viewer):
"The regular quarterly ex-dividend date for Units is the third (3rd) Friday in each of
March, June, September and December, unless such day is not a Business Day, in
which case the ex-dividend date is the immediately preceding Business Day
(“Ex-Dividend Date”)"
