On Thanksgiving 2026 (26 November 2026) the NYSE is closed and the US bond market is closed, according to TradingLookup's Market Clock (October 2026).

Thanksgiving in 2026 and 2027

"Not confirmed": we haven't read that year from the source yet.

Why

Thanksgiving Day is one of the NYSE's market holidays: the exchange lists it on its own holiday page, and Nasdaq follows the same calendar where we've confirmed it.

Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November. It is one of the few days when both the stock and bond markets shut completely, and the next day is a half day.

The next day: is the stock market open on Black Friday?

Does Thanksgiving 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 Thanksgiving, 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.
