Starting yesterday there has been a dramatic drop in the average trade lot size on the emini S&P. one of the things I track is trades >= 500 lots. there were almost none yesterday, which extremely unusual (unknown in my trading experience.)

today is the same. Does anyone know why this might be, other than some big players sitting it out? has there been a change in CME reporting of trades?
 
If you take a look at the Delta Volume Distribution in the rally off the 1012.00 pivot, you should notice there is very minimal LONG participation. The BUYERS for this rally have mostly been resting SHORT inventory BUYING to cover from equities buy program activity driving futures trade higher.
 
Yes and this information you provide is based on the huge market sample you took.
In any event, it is not stopping some from working.

These are not "holidays", as you refer to them. They are religious observances.
There is a huge difference.
