HFTSignalWhat's CAS? Stocks that carry listed futures and options contracts go through a Closing Auction Session to help set their closing price, instead of trading normally all the way to 3:30 PM. For those stocks, regular trading stops at 3:15 PM and the closing price is then set through the 3:20–3:35 PM auction window. Everything else trades straight through to 3:30 PM.

Questions
What you're probably wondering.
What time does Muhurat trading start in 2026?
NSE and BSE have scheduled the main equity session to begin at 2:20 PM IST on Sunday, 8 November 2026, with a pre-open window from 2:05 PM to 2:20 PM.
What time does Muhurat trading end?
Most shares trade until 3:30 PM IST. Shares that go through the Closing Auction Session — generally those with listed futures and options contracts — stop normal trading earlier, at 3:15 PM, and move into a separate 3:20–3:35 PM closing auction instead.
Is Muhurat trading only symbolic, or are the trades real?
The trades are completely real. Muhurat trading runs on the same order matching, pricing and settlement process as any other trading session on NSE and BSE — the auspicious timing is cultural, not financial.
Do I need a separate account for Muhurat trading?
No. If your existing trading and demat accounts are active and your broker supports the session, you can place orders through the same account you already use.
Can I run an algo strategy during Muhurat trading on HFTSignal?
Yes. Any strategy you've built and connected to your broker on HFTSignal can run during the session like any other. HFTSignal doesn't recommend trading it or advise on whether it suits your strategy — that decision, and every Confirm, stays with you.
Happy Diwali. Let your strategy watch the market.
