How will Thanksgiving impact trading hours, account balances, and account creation?
Thanksgiving brings adjusted market hours and trading guidelines. Here's what you need to know:
Thanksgiving Day (Thursday):
The market will close early at 1:00 PM EST.
Note: This day will not count as a trading day due to reduced trading hours set by the CME Group.
Reports will not be loaded on Thursday. Your account balance will reflect accurately on the website after the market closes on Friday.
Both Thursday and Friday will count as one trading day.
Day After Thanksgiving (Friday):
The market will close early at 1:15 PM EST.
Account Creation Delays:
Due to the reduced trading hours, account creation will also experience delays and may take longer than usual to process.
Market Reopening:
Normal trading hours resume on Sunday at 6:00 PM EST.
Closing Trades and Pending Orders:
All trades and pending orders must be closed at least one minute before market close:
Thursday by 12:59 PM EST
Friday by 1:14 PM EST
Recommendation:
We encourage you to use this time to relax and enjoy the holiday with your loved ones. Trading during these reduced hours may pose higher risks due to limited activity.
