2024 Trading Days Calendar
\r\n\r\n\t
How many trading days left this year? Find out here.
\r\n\t\t\r\n\t
\r\n\t\tMonth of March: 20 trading days and 1 holiday \r\n\t\tNext closure: Good Friday (Fri, March 29) \r\n\t\tLast closure: Washington's Birthday (Mon, February 19) \r\n\t
\r\n\t\tIs the stock market open today? Use the calculator or the table below to find out. This table is the 2024 trading days calendar for the NYSE and NASDAQ.\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t(Further below are calendars for future years 2025–26, as well as calendars for past years 2016–23).\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\tColored days indicate the stock exchanges are closed or have truncated trading sessions. The weekend days of Saturday and Sunday are in pink. Holidays and special market hour days are in blue. Non-colored days indicate the exchanges are open for trading.\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\tRegular market hours are 9:30am–4:00pm EST. Short sessions end at 1:00pm EST.\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\tStock market holiday data can be found below each calendar (and listed separately). To the right of each calendar are the number of trading days and hours in that month and quarter.\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\tFor example: November 2024 has one full holiday (Thanksgiving Day), a short session on November 29 where the markets close early, and 19 regular trading sessions. With 6.5 trading hours on regular days and 3.5 on short days, there are a total of 127 trading hours for that month.\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\tThere are exactly 252 trading days in 2024: out of a possible 366 days, there are 10 holiday closures and 104 Saturdays and Sundays.\r\n\t
\r\n\t
\r\n\t\tStock market holidays are the same for the NYSE and NASDAQ.\r\n\t

However, this period of time includes 2022, the first year a new federal holiday went into effect. This narrows the range of possible trading days in a year to 250 to 252.

New federal holiday to close markets beginning in 2022.
\r\n\t
On June 17, 2021, a new federal holiday (Juneteenth, or June 19) was officially declared. There was no observance of the new holiday in 2021. However, the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges will observe June 19 for future years. Beginning in 2022, no trading will take place on this day (or its observed-day equivalent).
\r\n\t
Stock market closed to mourn President Bush.
\r\n\t
Stock markets will be closed Wednesday, December 5, 2018 in observance of a national day of mourning for President George H.W Bush.
\r\n\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tDid you know?
\r\n\t\t
Historically speaking, the regular trading session of 9:30am–4:00pm is fairly new. Stock market trading hours actually varied quite a bit over the centuries. Here are some of the highlights.
\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t
When the NYSE was first formed in 1792, there were two \"call trading\" sessions – one in the morning and one in the afternoon – where an official called out stocks for brokers to trade in turn.
\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t
Call trading lasted for nearly eight decades, until 1871 when continuous trading first arrived. From now on, trading sessions would begin promptly at 10:00am Monday through Saturday. But curiously, they could end any time between 2:00 and 4:00pm.
\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t
It was only in 1887 that set hours were first established. Brokers could trade stocks between the hours of 10:00am–3:00pm Monday through Friday, and 10:00am–12:00pm on Saturday.
\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t
Evidently, trading six days a week became too arduous. So the Saturday trading session was dropped in 1952, giving traders their first two-day weekend. But then again, since M–F trading would now end at 3:30pm, with the same morning start time the total number of trading hours in a given week actually increased slightly.
\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t
In 1974, an additional half-hour was tacked on to the end of the regular M–F trading session. Traders now finished work at 4:00pm.
\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t
Finally, yet another half-hour of trading was added in 1985. This last change moved the start time up to 9:30am, where it remains today.
\r\n\t\t
This means there are 32.5 trading hours in a typical week. If you're a stock trader, you know these hours can be pretty intense. But take solace in the fact that this is still significantly lower than the 41.5 hours the typical American works each week!

Traders can also buy or sell stocks in the pre-market and after-hours market, though the largest numbers of shares are traded during normal hours. Some investors like to trade in these extended trading hours because they give them a leg up on the competition by responding quickly to news releases that occur outside the regular trading sessions. But how many trading days are there in a year? Well, technically there are 252 trading days out of a possible 365 in any given year in the U.S. stock market, which breaks down into about 4.85 trading days a week.

In the United States, there are between 250 and 252 trading days each year.
\n
A trading day is a day when the stock markets are open. The stock markets are open Monday – Friday. To calculate the number of trading days in a year, it is 365 days in 1 year minus weekends and holidays. We have an average of about 10 stock market holidays each year.
During pre-market and after-hours trading, most brokers require changing the time-in-force (TIF) on your order to include extended hours. Some brokers like Lightspeed allow all orders to be a “Day+” order, which includes regular and extended hours. However, other brokers require you to change order types between regular hours and extended hours. If your orders are rejected, checking the error message and the time-in-force is a good starting point.
\n
Which day of the week is best for Day Trading?
\n
Historically, Wednesdays and Thursdays are the best days of the week for day trading. This is based on an analysis of over 20,000 trades over the course of more than 8 years. What I love about tracking my metrics is learning things about my trading I would have never guessed. One of those facts is that I make the most money on Wednesdays and Thursdays. This makes sense because on Mondays, at the beginning of the week, I take it slow. Then on Tuesday and Wednesday, I size up if I’m doing well, I have a great day on Thursday, and then by Friday I’m ready to scale back as we come to the end of the week. It’s almost like the performance of somebody in a race. Slow and steady out of the gates, get my stride in the middle, then finish strong without taking big risks.
\n
\n
What is the Best Time of the Year to Trade?
\n
I have historically made the most money in Q3 and Q4. From October through March is my most profitable time of the year. I don’t consider the market to be seasonal, but I have found that summer tends to be slower. In general, I consider the market to be cyclical. We have hot cycles and cold cycles. Those cycles do not necessarily correlate to the time of the year.
\n
What is the 80/20 Rule of Trading
\n
In trading, I’ve found that 80% of my profit comes from just 20% of my trading days. This presents a real challenge when planning vacations! We only have approximately 252 trading days a year, but just 50 of them will generate most of my profits. Since I’ve learned I make the most money trading on Wednesdays and Thursdays, I try to avoid missing those days whenever possible. Instead, I take long weekends by taking the day off on Mondays or Fridays.
\n
The reality of trading is that the market is cyclical. We have hot cycles and we have cold cycles. When it’s cold it can feel like it will never get hot again, but then instantly one stock with great news goes up 100% and the market feels hot. I find that my biggest green days are typically clustered together, and my biggest red days are too.

The year 2024 is right around the corner, and with it comes a new set of trading days. Knowing how many trading days are in a given year is essential for those involved in the stock market or foreign exchange to plan their strategies. So, what exactly can traders expect out of the following year?
In this article, we will play with numbers. We will explore changes in the number of trading days, which determines the trading program, and other variables that may impact how frequently you trade since knowing the number of trading days alone is insufficient information. But first, let\u2019s define a trading day. But first, let us calculate trading days in a year.
There are 365.242199 days in a year exactly. However, in practice, there are 365 days in a non-leap year and 366 days in a leap year. There are always at least 52 weeks in a year. In a non-leap year, there are 52 weeks and one day.
There are 262 weekdays in 2024 and 366 days because it is a leap year. If the year is a leap, there is one additional day, usually one additional working day.\u00a0
In 2024, the working calendar comprises 252 workdays, factoring in 104 weekend days and 11 public holidays, leading to an average of 19 to 23 workdays per month, with variations depending on the specific month. February, the shortest month, has the fewest workdays in the year, aligning with itsfewerf total days.
\n
How many trading days in the year 2024?
\n
In 2024, the year comprises precisely 252 trading days, allowing for consistent planning and strategy development for market participants. February and April have a limited number of trading days, 20 and 22 days each, offering a narrower window for trading activities than other months. March and August are the busiest months, each featuring 23 trading days, providing the maximum opportunities for transactions and investments in the market. Therefore, the average number of trading days each month is around 21, culminating in 63 trading days per quarter, while the weekends, totaling 105 days, see the forex and stock exchanges closed.
While stock exchanges may not be open for business on weekends and holidays like Christmas Day or New Year\u2019s Day, some brokers may still offer trades throughout these times, depending on individual policies. Additionally, large brokers offer extended hours during certain times like earnings season so they don\u2019t miss out on any lucrative opportunities.
Two hundred fifty-two working days is the average amount of working days in a year, which breaks down to an average of 21 working days per month and 63 working days every quarter. The sum of business days varies from one year to the next. For comparison\u2019s sake, in 2019, there were 252 trading days out of 365 days, and 253 trading days in 2020 (out of 366 days) were due to the leap year.
The total of market days in a year in the United States is typically determined as follows:
\n
Whole business days in a year equal the number of calendar days minus the sum of weekends and holidays. The stock markets are not open for business on 104 weekends and nine market holidays. So, here\u2019s how we\u2019ll figure out how many business days we had in total:
The average number of trading days in the year is 253. This number can be calculated based on information that there are from 365.25 (days on average per year) * 5/7 (proportion of workdays per week) \u2013 6 (weekday holidays) \u2013 3*5/7 (fixed date holidays) = 252.7.? 253. The holidays when the stock exchange is closed in the U.S. are New Year\u2019s Day, Martin Luther King Jr, and Christmas.
There are 52 trading weeks yearly because there are no non-working trading weeks. There are no examples of trading companies staying closed for a whole week in the trading industry. Only several international and domestic holidays are non-working days in the trading business. \n
Any day the stock exchange is exposed for trade is considered a trading day for that market. Unless a holiday or other big event precludes trading for the day, the marketplace is exposed each weekday from Monday through Friday. Unlike automated or protracted trading hours, the market is only open during \u201cregular trading hours\u201d (RTH) on any particular trading day (ETH).
\n
Nasdaq Exchange and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) usual trading hours are 9:30 am to 4:00 pm. The opening bell signifies the beginning of trade, while the closing bell signifies the end of trading for the day. The last chime of the closing bell signifies the end of the trading day and a temporary halt to all share transactions until the following trading day.
\n
Although stock markets are usually open throughout the weekdays (Monday through Friday), there are occasions when trading is suspended. For instance, the market is closed on days when public holidays or official events, such as the state burial of a head of state. As a result of these and other exceptional circumstances, the market may shut at 1:00 pm instead of 4:00 pm on a given day.
\n
What days are trading days?
\n
A year that comprises 12 months typically has 250+ Trading Days. 201, for instance, consists of 252 trading days (2020 has 253 trading days, 2021 has 252 trading days) out of a total of 365 days in a year, mathematically translating to around 4.85 trading days a week. Please see our Bank Holidays Calendar.
How many forex trading days in a month? There is an average of 21 trading days a month; February has the fewest, 19, and March had 23 trading days in 2021.
A country\u2019s primary stock exchange determines the trading hours for the stock market. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) determines the days and hours of trading in the United States, and other exchanges generally adhere to this timetable. The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) used to open for business on Saturdays for two hours, except Monday through Friday, but this practice was discontinued in 1952. Since then, the NYSE and other United exchanges have kept to a Monday-Friday dealing timetable that begins at 9:30 at morning Eastern Time and ends at four past morning
\n
Those who desire to trade on the NYSE but live in a different time zone must adhere to the NYSE\u2019s trading day timetable based on New York time. Electronic trading systems allow participants to interact distanceively, but only during trading hours. Those who aren\u2019t in the Eastern Schedule Zone will need to time their trading visits to coincide with the NYSE\u2019s hours of operation (9:30 am to 4:00 pmET.). If you are in California, you may shop between 6:30 am and 1:00 pm.
As we said before, there is often some variation in the number of business days from year to year. The average number of days in a year is 252; however, this number may range from 253 to 251, depending on the circumstances. The following are examples of potential variables that impact the total number of trade days each year:
No, I trade only when the market favors my daily traps. Starting with a 1% goal daily is achievable, whatever the strategy. Note that it is different on the demo on your first trading day. If you are new, try out your approach whenever an opportunity arises. In demoing, you learn the D.O.s and DON\u2019Ts, meaning you should bring in the VOT (Volumes of trades) you can.
\n
When you are set to go live, ensure your live demo! Live Demoing is turning into a machine that involves trading with no emotions. It would help if you stuck to setting your 1% goal and not read when the market is not right\u2014aim to reach that goal daily and then close for the day. Please stay away from trading in excess because it will hurt you. That is a lesson I have learned over the years.
\n
If you lose nothing on a particular day, be glad for that victory, for so many newcomers quit in barely one week or more. The risk-to-reward ratio plays another role in it.
Let me reiterate that you need to trade any minute if possible,e but don\u2019t develop a habit of doing so every time. You must balance life and do some work elsewhere to supplement your income. There are weeks I trade for just a few days to ensure that my 4-5% is assured weekly. My trading involves perfect setups alongside stacked confirmations. I usually call the major energy points. I fix an alert in a small number of pips to 10 to let me jump on the charts to assess whether or not to take that trade.
\n
This enables me to go on with other essential activities for my life as I deem necessary without spending 24/5 on the chart.
The NYSE and NASDAQ average about 253 trading days a year. The average number of trading days a year can be calculated as 365.25 days because every fourth year is a leap year. Based on that, we can calculate the average number of trading days in any year using the formula:
\n
365.25 * 5/7 (proportion workdays per week) \u2013 6 (weekday holidays) \u2013 3*5/7 (fixed date holidays) = 252.75 = 253.
\n
Does the stock market close on weekends?
\n
Yes, stock markets are closed on weekends. Stock markets are closed not just in the U.S. over the weekend; this practice exists worldwide. All world stock markets are closed during the weekend. The U.S. stock market is open Monday through Friday, 9:30 am to 4:00 pm Eastern time. \n
\nWhat Becomes of the Forex Market? When are the Holidays?
\n
Other currencies respond pretty slowly to most holidays. However, only U.S\u2026\u2026. holidays have significant interest, not mainly because I reside in the U.S.S.S.The U.S.. dollar influences many other currencies, so other currencies do not match when the USD moves slowly.
\n
What Transpires During Holidays?
\n
Based on the country with the holiday, trading volume is low y. When banks are not operational, the spreads are, however, it. It does not imply that you should not be involved in trading. Instead, you should be careful and choose alternative currencies without any correlation with the country being closed.
\n
Can you trade forex on weekends?
\n
Retail traders that use forex brokers can not trade during weekends because forex brokers are closed. However, institutional traders can do one-weekend trading through central banks and other organizations.
The ThU.S.S. forex market closes on Friday at 5 pm E.S.T. and opens on Sunday at 5 pm E.S.T. Besides, trading in crypto with some brokers can be a good option for you during the weekend.
\n
I was fond of doing it in my newbie years, but it was during the hay days of Bitcoin. So, it helped me to get a few corrections while riding on the Bitcoin wave. I am not trading cryptocurrency, but I will again when my strategy gives me the go-ahead.
\n
Banks and similar financial organizations continue to have the right to enter the currency market, so they exist on Sundays when markets open. So Friday is when I close, and Monday is when I return looking for re-entry.
\n
This also provides an avenue for another strategy to trade the gap at the weekend. This strategy is pretty well-known and could be worth your interest.
\n
Holidays
\n
Even though many U.S. federal holidays fall on weekends, the stock market is nevertheless open on some of them. The market is open on non-federal holidays, including Columbus Day and Veterans Day, although it is closed on Good Friday. There are a total of nine annual holidays recognized by the stock marketplace.
The third Monday of January (Day Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.)
\n
The third Monday in February (Presidents\u2019 Day)
\n
The Friday before Easter Sunday (Good Friday)
\n
The last Monday of May (Memorial Day)
\n
July 4th (IndependenceDayy)
\n
The first Monday in September (The Labor Day Holiday)
\n
The fourth Thursday of November (Day of Thanks)
\n
December 25th (Christmas day)
\n
\n
If a holiday is on the weekend, trading will be closed on the Friday before or the Monday after.
\n
Weekends
\n
We\u2019ve already established that the U.S. marketplace closes for nine recognized holidays yearly. Sinceesimilare holidays are celebrated annually, why does the sum of business days change yearly? The solution is to look at the calendar and see how many Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays there are each year.
\n
Depending on the first weekend of the year, there may be more than 104 weekend days in a given year. Even though there would be one extra trading day in a leap year, the sum of trading days would be less on the condition the year began on a Saturday. Annual trade schedules do not always include market closures due to national emergencies. For example, on December 5th, 2018, the U.S. stock marketplace was closed in honor of the passing of the prior head of state, George H.W. Bush. The market was closed for four days in 2001 after the September 11th terrorist attacks and 2-days in 2012 because of Hurricane Sandy.
\n
A leap year occurs once every four years, with one additional day. If this other day occurs during the week, it will increase the sum of business days in the year. In 2020, for instance, a leap year, there were 253 business days. For a leap year to not add trade day, the year must begin on the weekend, specifically a Saturday.
\n
Can you make trades on all market days?
\n
Now that you know how many business days there are in a year, ask yourself honestly if you can use each. This is quite rare, even if you are a day broker. There are a lot of reasons that will often bind the sum of dealing days you engage in during the year, including the following:
\n
Different trading strategies, time away from the market, unforeseen events, and losing streaks may all affect financial performance.
\n
How many days per year is the stock market open?
\n
The stock market is open 253 days yearly because weekends and holidays are non-working days. However, this number can vary from 252 to 253 trading days yearly.
