# Trading Hours

> Learn about Polymarket US trading availability, reporting schedule, and maintenance policy

Polymarket US operates nearly 24/7, with a recurring weekly maintenance window every **Thursday from 6:00–8:00 AM ET**. Gold and silver markets follow the metals market instead: Sunday 6:15 PM ET to Friday 5:00 PM ET, with a daily break from 5:00 PM to 6:15 PM ET and holiday closures. See the [Gold and Silver FAQs](https://docs.polymarket.us/faqs/metals-faqs.md). Trading may also be temporarily suspended if technical issues, emergency maintenance, or other operational needs require action to maintain security, integrity, or orderly market operation.

## Emergency Maintenance

Trading may be paused without prior notice to protect market participants or ensure system stability. Service resumes once operational integrity is restored.

## Reporting Schedule

Each trading day ends at **5:00 PM Eastern Time (ET)**, including weekends. Daily market and operational reporting uses this cutoff for performance metrics, reconciliations, and regulatory recordkeeping.

## Compliance Notice

All trading activity is governed by the [**Polymarket US Exchange Rulebook**](https://polymarketexchange.com/regulatory.html), applicable U.S. regulations, and internal operational procedures. Trading availability may be adjusted when necessary to maintain compliance, transparency, and market integrity.
