The week at a glance
Monday to Wednesday are normal sessions, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET. Thursday is closed. Friday opens at 9:30 AM and closes at 1:00 PM ET for stocks, 2:00 PM ET for bonds. Wednesday’s close is the last full session of the week, so it is when most traders square up before the holiday.
What happens to an order placed on Thanksgiving
A market order entered on Thursday waits in your broker’s queue and executes when trading opens on Friday morning. Because Friday is short and thinly traded, a limit order gives you more control over the price you get than a market order does.
