You're right. My bad.

 

Someone posts one of these every American holiday (but not other countries' holidays - hmmm).

Why not just look at the exchange websites for the official answer for the products you trade? Wouldn't it suck to be stuck in a position over a holiday because you listened to (incorrect) info from a message board?

 

I don't know why, but this is really funny, lol... But seriously...

It would suck to be in a trade and all of a sudden your quotes stop.
You think to yourself, wtf is going on here? No data. Crap. IB is
down again...(or whoever)...

And then realize, oh *hit! The market just closed. I am screwed.

I am now a swing trader...
