About

A live reference tool for U.S. equity market participants who think in trading days.

Live Counter

Holiday Aware

Follows the full NYSE/Nasdaq holiday schedule. Early-close days count as 0.5. No manual updates needed year to year.

Always Accurate

Holidays like Good Friday and Memorial Day are computed algorithmically - no hardcoded dates that go stale.

How it works

Trading days are weekdays when U.S. equity markets are open. The counter starts from today (or tomorrow if it's already past 4 p.m. Eastern Time) and counts forward, skipping weekends and all official NYSE/Nasdaq holidays. Scheduled early-close sessions - like the day after Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve - are counted as half days (0.5).

All holiday dates are derived algorithmically each year using standard calendar rules (e.g. the Easter algorithm for Good Friday, nth-weekday formulas for floating holidays), so the site stays accurate without any ongoing maintenance.
