Why there is no price for July 4th 2017 ?

posted

Today as I do some back testing, I found there is no close price for the date of July 4th 2017. Here is an example for TSLA.

    prices = data.history(context.stock, 'price', 20, '1d')  
    print("%s: %.4f" %(context.stock, prices[-1]))

Sorry I made a mistake. The July 4th is American Notional Day. Please forget my post.

Do not worry about it. I just get mad every time there is a holiday. I am not making money on holidays! Weekends are bad enough!

You are right. Hope the market will be opened all the year round. :-)
