Nasdaq holidays vs. regular trading hours
A full holiday closure means the regular Nasdaq session is closed. An early close means the market opens on a shortened schedule and closes before the usual 4:00 PM ET close.
Pre-market and after-hours activity should be treated separately from the regular session. Liquidity, eligible symbols, and available order types can differ by broker.
