What the official pages actually print
Formal creation of the Toronto Stock Exchange is 1861 (TMX historical timeline: origins 1852, formal creation 1861). 1852 is origins, not the founding year. Headquarters: 300 - 100 Adelaide St. West, Toronto, ON M5H 1S3. TMX Group is headquartered in Toronto. Offices in Montréal, Calgary, Vancouver, New York, London, Singapore, and Vienna are offices, not a second HQ. TMX also operates TSXV, TSX Alpha, and Montréal Exchange. Do not mix TSX Alpha clocks (continuous 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. ET) into TSX.

Pre Open 7:00 a.m.–9:30 a.m.; Market on Open 9:30 a.m.; Continuous Trading 9:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m.; MOC imbalance 3:50 p.m.–4:00 p.m.; Price Movement Extension 4:00–4:10 p.m.; Post Market Cancel 4:10–4:15 p.m.; Extended Trading Session 4:15 p.m.–5:00 p.m. Same page lists TSX Alpha separately at 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. ET — do not mix Alpha into TSX. The 9:30–4:00 continuous window matches U.S. Core on NYSE and IEX by coincidence of clock shape, not because TSX is NMS.

2026 Canadian holidays and the Christmas Eve early close
Source: TMX calendar at tsx.com/en/trading/calendars-and-trading-hours/calendar (fetched 25 August 2026). The page lists 2026 stock-market holidays as closed days, plus a starred early close. Star text as printed: closing at 1:00 p.m. (TSX/TSXV) and 1:30 (ALPHA/ALPHA X/DRK). The star sits on Christmas Eve. The hours page labels TIME (ET). The holiday HTML itself may not reprint ET on every row. The table below is the Canadian holiday list as printed, not a U.S. hours rewrite.

The same calendar lists U.S. holidays with special settlement for issues trading in USD (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day 19 January; Memorial Day 25 May; Juneteenth 19 June; in lieu of Independence Day 3 July; U.S. Thanksgiving 26 November). Those lines are settlement notes, not a claim that TSX is closed. Do not treat a U.S. holiday as a Toronto close unless the Canadian table says closed. Trading halts are not in this calendar HTML; this page invents no halt counts.
What this page will not invent
Do not mix TSX Alpha 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. ET into the TSX book. Do not copy ASX Sydney phases or HKEX lunch-break clocks. U.S. exchange overnight 9:00 p.m.–4:00 a.m. ET is planned for 6 December 2026, not live, and is not a TSX session. TSX extended 4:15–5:00 p.m. ET is not U.S. 4:00–8:00 p.m. late. A broker overnight window is ATS access, not TMX, and this page names no brokers as venues. Cboe C1 equity-options GTH is TBA and is not TSX cash.
The Canada Day 2026 release says the exchanges re-open and resume regular trading hours on Thursday, 2 July 2026. Continuous matching that day is still 9:30 a.m.–4:00 p.m. ET per the hours page. Settlement-schedule PDFs on the calendar are for holiday settlement, not a second clock.
Fees, sizing, and what this page is not
TMX/TSX fee, rebate, access, and market-data numbers are TODO:VERIFY against the then-current schedule. This profile invents none, and invents no listing count, no market capitalisation cutoff, and no ADV. Example sizing only: account $10,000, 1 percent risk equals $100. If the stop is $1.50 away, shares = floor(100 ÷ 1.50) = 66, round down, on the risk calculator (crypto UI; treat the unit as shares). See dollar risk per share. PDT is not current law. The U.S. stock scanner at /stock-scanner is Coming soon — not live, no subscription price on this page.
This page is not a U.S. hours table, not TSX Alpha, not a broker-hours table, not a fee quote, and not personalized advice.
TSX pre-open 7:00 a.m. ET is not NYSE American 7:00 a.m. early matching and not NYSE Arca 4:00 a.m. early. Do not paste a U.S. 4am-versus-7am scan onto Toronto continuous 9:30–4:00. TSX is not NMS Tape A, B, or C.
