Saturday, July 4, 2009 is shown as a market holiday, but the observed holiday, Friday, July 3, 2009 is not included. Is this stored as part of the Bars object of each symbol, or is it stored somewhere else? My real question is whether this is something I (or you) can fix or whether I have to do a work around?

Thanks for pointing this out. We'll have that corrected for the next release, but you can edit Markets.xml now yourself by making the change below.

Note! To edit the file, move it to your desktop, make the edit, save, and then move it back with Admin privileges.


// CHANGE THIS LINE
<dateTime>2009-07-04T00:00:00</dateTime>

// TO THIS
<dateTime>2009-07-03T00:00:00</dateTime>

Markets.xml is located here

I created a much larger version of Markets.xml which has NYSE holidays (but not early closings) back to 1928, which you are free to use.

Here's a zipped version
