How is data collected?

Our global research team collects, collates, and verifies trading hours and market holidays using exclusively primary sources.Manual and automated checks ensure the highest degree of accuracy and reliability.

Once data is collected, we then continually monitor for changes to ensure the data is always up-to-date.Data quality is our highest priority.

If you would like to learn more or see a sample of our data, please contact our sales team.

We use a proprietary identifier called "FinID" to uniquely identify all distinct trading schedules.

Several code systems exist to identify different financial markets, including: ISO 10383 Market Identification Codes (MICs), Reuters Instrument Code (RICs), and Bloomberg Exchange Codes.Unfortunately, none of these systems are granular enough to uniquely identify all distinct trading schedules that exist.

For example, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (MIC: XCME) contains 9 different Segment MICs.However, the CME has far more than 9 distinct trading schedules.In fact, CME has dozens of trading schedules that vary by product (ie. different hours and holidays for Cattle Futures vs Grain Futures).We fully support all of these schedules. So, a unique identifier was needed.

We maintain a mapping between MICs and FinIDs. However, there is some ambiguity.

Our team is available to help clients map between any market identifier they use and our FinIDs.

Data is available in multiple formats.

You can access the data through our modern JSON API.This allows you to immediately extract meaning information from the data, such as determining upcoming trading schedules for any supported market.

We also provide a bulk download option which allows you to import all information into your system at once.This is best for heavy usage.

All data is provided through our API. View the complete TradingHours.com API Documentation for more information.

Most markets publish holidays only one or two years in advance.Based on historical data we project holidays out up to 10 years in advance.Any projections beyond that would be too speculative to be useful.

For more complex markets like the CME, ICE, Eurex, and other derivative markets we typically project only 1 year in advance.These exchanges typically publish the finalized schedule only 3 months in advance.

Some Islamic holidays are based on the visibility of the moon.These holiday date are not confirmed until the night before and vary based on local weather patterns.

We closely monitor all projected holidays and update the data as soon as the exchange publishes the official schedule.Download the coverage spreadsheet to view the complete date range for each market.

Trading holidays and schedules change frequently.Sometimes these changes come with very short notice.Schedules can change due to severe weather, national tragedies, etc.

Typhoons and hurricanes have been known to close markets.The death of national figures like former presidents may result in market closures.In some cases even sports can close markets. After Saudi Arabia beat Argentina in the World Cup, Saudi Arabia announced a national holiday and financial markets were closed for a day.

We do no add unplanned closures unless the entire market is closed for a full day.In that case we will add the closer after-the-fact.
