"Not confirmed" means we haven't read that date from the source yet (for Nasdaq, its own pages for 2026). We don't guess. Futures hours aren't listed: CME's site doesn't let our script read it, so we can't keep a receipt. CME's own holiday and trading hours page has them.

The NYSE has 10 market holidays and 2 early closes in 2026, according to TradingLookup's Market Clock (October 2026).

What to know about 2026

• Independence Day falls on a weekend, so the NYSE closes on Friday 3 July 2026 instead.
• Stocks trade normal hours on Columbus Day (12 October) and Veterans Day (11 November): federal holidays, but not on the NYSE's list. SIFMA recommends the bond market closes.
• Good Friday is an NYSE holiday but not a federal one.
• Early closes (27 November, 24 December): the NYSE stops at 1pm ET; SIFMA's recommended bond market close is 2pm ET.

Does a market holiday count as a trading day at your prop firm?

None of the quotes in our futures prop ledger (24 firms) say whether a market holiday or an early close counts towards a minimum-trading-days rule. With US stocks shut on a market holiday, whether your firm counts the day is set by its own rules, not the exchange. What firms' own pages do say:

• Bulenox lists no minimum number of trading days on its evaluation plans: "Min. trading days None" (bulenox.com, read 16 October 2026)
• The Trading Pit (futures) counts profitable days towards payouts: "To request a reward, you must complete 5 profitable trading days with at least $150 profit per day, which do not need to be consecutive" (thetradingpit.com, read 16 October 2026)
• Alpha Futures counts profitable days towards payouts: "Request every 5 winning trading days of $200 profit, or more" (help.alpha-futures.com, read 16 October 2026)
• Elite Trader Funding says you can trade on holidays: "Q: Can I trade on holidays and during news? Yes" (elitetraderfunding.app, read 13 October 2026)

Check your firm's holiday notice before you trade or count the day. Every firm's published rules: US futures prop firms and prop firm news rules.
