If you are an investor or trader with a position in foreign equities, remember that each country has its own stock market. Foreign exchanges are open on days when US exchanges are closed, but there is not an hour of trading. If you decide to trade outside normal business hours and decide that there are no trading hours, you can view the stock markets with different hours and wait for the trading to open and consider trading during normal business hours. Orders are filled when they are placed during regular trading hours or when the market opens at 8: 00 a.m. on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
In addition, price volatility during trading hours tends to be higher, so there may be trading restrictions by your broker. Remember that trading in Dow Jones futures and other futures does not necessarily result in trading hours or pre-trading periods on the US stock exchange. The exchanges close at 8: 00 on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, but there is no extended trading - hours - that is outweighed by an hour of "pre-trading." Pre-market trading takes place before the joint opening of markets and is usually available for a short period of time after the opening of the market.
If a stock market holiday falls on a Saturday, the market is closed the Friday before, but not the following Monday. If a stock market event falls on a Sunday, the markets are closed on Monday and closed for a few hours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

NYSE, NASDAQ and TMX Group exchanges do not close at noon or synchronize their opening hours with other exchanges.
Trading volumes can be ten times larger during the holidays, so it is important to know when the market opens and closes to know when to trade and to check your position. Looking at the bigger picture, the stock market should remain a small part of your overall trading strategy over the holidays. On holidays, stock markets win and volumes rise, but you still need to know when markets open and close.
When traders talk about the NASDAQ, they often refer to the stock market itself in terms of its index, not the stock market as a whole. For example, the NASDAQ Composite Index is called the NASDAQ Composite Index, which refers to whether it goes up or down for the day.
