holiday hrs for Nymex, ICE

Recommended Posts

Hello Jerry;

FYI - There're errors in the holiday hrs for NYMEX and ICE WTI Crude, thus leaving gaps in their MT charts. The holiday hrs from their web sites are:

 

ICE WTI Crude: (in London Time)

-Thanksgiving Day     -- 11/27/14, 1:00 to 18:30

-Thanksgiving Friday -- 11/28/14, 1:00 to 19:00

-Christmas Eve          -- 12/24/14, 1:00 to 19:00

-New Year's Eve        -- 12/31/14, 1:00 to 20:00

 

NYMEX: (New York Time)

-Thanksgiving Day     -- 11/26/14, 18:00 to 13:00

-Thanksgiving Friday -- 11/27/14, 18:00 to 13:45

-Christmas Eve          -- 12/23/14, 18:00 to 13:45

 

In MT, the timeframes for these exchanges are read-only, so I've created custom timeframes to resolve this, but thought I'd inform you and the forum.

maybe you can help here. I was looking at that page before, but since I don't trade these futures, I don't know the names well.  Looking at Nov 27 and 28, you indicated:

 

ICE WTI Crude: (in London Time)

-Thanksgiving Day     -- 11/27/14, 1:00 to 18:30

-Thanksgiving Friday -- 11/28/14, 1:00 to 19:00

 

19:00 London time is 13:00 Eastern. I see a couple references to that, but none to 12:30 (18:30) on the 27th.  What am I missing? Which exact entry on that page refers to ICE WTI Crude?

 

Thanks

On the ICE website, they give the hours in Eastern time which is 5 hours behind London time now, so 13:30ET is 18:30 London Time on Nov. 27th and 14:00ET is 19:00 London on the 28th.

 

Doing these time conversions can be confusing sometimes, with daylight savings changes and all, so to double-check I use http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?iso=20141127T1330&p1=179&p2=136

 

Note also that ICE Crude is on "ICE Futures Europe" so you can uncheck all the other market options on the ICE holiday webpage to reduce clutter on the webpage.

ICE:

May 25, 2015 - Early close at 18:30 London Time for all contracts except UK Natural Gas

  • UK Natural Gas (IB symbol = NGF) is full day close
  • NGF may require its own timeframe because it has different trading hours from the rest of ICE (7:00am - 5:00pm London) & tends to have different holiday hours too. I create a custom timeframe for it in MT, so if I'm the only one trading NGF here it won't be necessary.

 

 

July 3, 2015 - All contracts have early close at 18:30 London Time, except GCF Repo & ICE Eurodollars

  • I think you can ignore GCF Repo & ICE Eurodollar contracts

 

I have installed the beta u sent and will email you on it soon.
