Hi Aaron,
One way to do it is as follows:
var symbol = AddEquity( "SPY" ).Symbol; // Assuming the above symbol has been subscribed to, we can query Securities[symbol] var exchangeHours = Securities[symbol].Exchange.Hours; // Get the hours on a particular day var localMarketHours = exchangeHours.GetMarketHours( new DateTime( 2018, 5, 6 ) ); // The 0-second reference timespan ensures we get the first market open (in case there are several) TimeSpan? open = localMarketHours.GetMarketOpen( TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 0 ), false ); // The 0-second reference timespan ensures we get the first market close (in case there are several) TimeSpan? close = localMarketHours.GetMarketClose( TimeSpan.FromSeconds( 0 ), false );
