Stock Market Days

This is a gem to determine whether the US stock market is open on a given day, and calculate the number of trading days between two dates. All dates are based on the NYSE calendar.

Typically, markets are closed on weekends and the following holidays:

• New Year's Day (January 1st, or first Monday of January if on weekend)
• Martin Luther King Day (third Monday of January)
• Washington's Birthday (third Monday of Feburary)
• Good Friday (Determined by http://www.maa.clell.de/StarDate/publ_holidays.html)
• Memorial Day (last Monday of May)
• Juneteenth (June 19, or nearest Monday or Friday if on a weekend)
• Independence Day (July 4, or July 3rd if on Saturday, July 5th if on Sunday)
• Labor Day (First Monday of September)
• Thanksgiving Day (Fourth Thursday of November)
• Christmas Day (December 25th, or December 24th if on Saturday, December 26th if on Sunday)

Right now the calculation of dates is limited to before 12/31/2059, but that should give you plenty of time to get rich!
