Can you trade stocks on the weekend?

U.S. listed-equity regular sessions are closed on Saturday and Sunday. Some brokers advertise overnight or weekend products; those are venue-specific and are not Belvedere’s product.

How many trading days are in a year?

U.S. equity trading days are weekdays minus exchange holidays (and any unscheduled closures). The count changes each calendar year. Belvedere does not maintain a holiday API.

What are stock market trading hours?

The New York Stock Exchange regular trading session is 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, except exchange holidays. Nasdaq’s regular session uses the same clock. Those hours are exchange rules, not a live “is the market open right now” feed on this site.

When do the markets close?

The NYSE and Nasdaq regular sessions close at 4:00 p.m. Eastern on a normal trading day. Early-close holidays are published by the exchanges. Belvedere does not publish a live open/closed indicator.
