Exchange closures and trading in self-directed accounts
Order entry
Any order made during the holidays listed above won't get entered until the exchange re-opens.
Order settlement
Orders placed in self-directed investing accounts take 1 business day to settle, and exchange holidays don't count as business days. If you place an order on a Friday with an exchange holiday on the following Monday, the trade will attempt to fill on Tuesday, and if filled, settle on Wednesday. Until then, the order will remain pending.
Exchange closures and trading in managed accounts
Wealthsimple’s managed accounts trade exclusively when both eligible US and Canadian exchanges are open.
Due to the settlement of securities, there are some cases where we may be unable to trade in your account a few days before the holiday.
The actions listed below are also impacted by the holidays listed above:
- Investing cash from new deposits
- Processing withdrawals
- Internal transfers from or between managed accounts
- Transfers to or from another financial institution
- Risk score changes
- Theme changes
- Portfolio rebalancing
