MILTRADERS follows the official CME Group trading calendar. On US market holidays, futures markets may be fully closed or operate on a shortened schedule (early close).
Main US holidays that affect trading hours: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day (July 4), Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day (and Day After — early close), Christmas Eve (early close) and Christmas Day.
Important rules during holidays:
The Inactivity Rule (30 calendar days without a trade) continues to count during holiday periods.
Holiday days do not count as Minimum Trading Days for evaluations.
Liquidity is often thinner during holiday-affected sessions — be cautious with order types and position sizes.
