Post-Market is the period where the trading activities take place just after the closing of the regular stock market session. Post-market sessions are scheduled between 3:40 PM and 4:00 PM on the trading days for both the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).
Points to be remembered:
During the post-market, clients can place orders in the Equity segment only.
F&O orders placed such as Equity F&O, Commodity F&O, and Currency F&O will be rejected, stating the markets are offline.
Intraday/BO/CO/Schedule orders are disabled during the post-market. However, clients are allowed to place delivery orders.
Placing an order in the post-market is as simple as placing a regular order. All you need to do is place the delivery order in the equity segment between 3:40 PM and 4:00 PM.
Note:
The orders that are placed between 3:40 PM and 4:00 PM, will not necessarily be executed.
If the order is not executed during the above-mentioned time, it will automatically get canceled.
