How to use if statement for a WebElement - if-statement

Question

I'm testing a website of Stocks
I have a certain 'clock' in each stock's page that shows if the stock is currently open/closed for trading
closed : class="inlineblock redClockBigIcon middle isOpenExchBig-1"
opened : class="inlineblock greenClockBigIcon middle isOpenExchBig-1014"
The only attribute there is a 'class'. I want to use an 'if' statement so I could distinguished between them, I tried to run it on a 'closed' status (see the code below on 'Check', 12 lines from the bottom).
It throws an exception on the third time of the loop :
org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: no such element
Why? and please how can I fix it?
public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\automation\\drivers\\chromedriver.exe");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
driver.get("https://www.investing.com");
driver.navigate().refresh();
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[href = '/markets/']")).click();;
// list |
int size = 1;
for (int i = 0 ; i < size ; ++i) {
List <WebElement> list2 = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("[nowrap='nowrap']>a"));
//Enter the stock page
size = list2.size();
Thread.sleep(3000);
list2.get(i).click();
**//Check**
WebElement Status = null;
if (Status == driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[class='inlineblock redClockBigIcon middle isOpenExchBig-1']")))
{
System.out.println("Closed");
}
// Print instrument name
WebElement instrumentName = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[class='float_lang_base_1 relativeAttr']"));
System.out.println(instrumentName.getText());
Thread.sleep(5000);
driver.navigate().back();
}
}
}

Answer 1

Try using
WebElement Status = null;
if (Status == driver.findElement(By.className("redClockBigIcon")))
{
System.out.println("Closed");
}

Answer 2

Your loop doesn't run 3 times, but that isn't the issue here.
You're using findElement which returns a WebElement or throws an error if the element is not found. If you're on a page and you don't know if the stock is open or not, you have two options:
Catch any NoSuchElementExceptions. If this error gets thrown, the closed class is not found and therefor the page is open.
Use findElements instead of findElement. This will return a list of elements and no exception is thrown if Selenium could not find any elements. After getting the list, just check the number of elements in the list.
Option 1:
boolean isClosed = false;
try {
isClosed = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("[class='redClockBigIcon']")).isDisplayed();
}
catch (NoSuchElementException) {
isClosed = false;
}
Option 2:
List<WebElement> closedClockElements = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("[class='redClockBigIcon']"));
if (closedClockElements.size() > 1) {
System.out.println("Closed");
}
else {
System.out.println("Open");
}
