The pre-market session allows investors to place equity orders just before the regular market opens. It’s a short window where you can queue your trades in advance so that they are eligible for early matching once live trading begins.
The pre-market (or pre-open) session runs from 9:00 AM to 9:08 AM on trading days for both the NSE and BSE. This session is used to absorb overnight news, reduce volatility at open, and determine the opening price.
Allowed:
Not allowed:
These orders may be matched and executed based on demand and supply at open. If not matched in pre-market, they carry forward to regular market hours.
Scenario | Explanation |
---|---|
I place an F&O or BO/CO order during pre-market | It will be rejected because only equity segment orders are allowed during this session. |
My order is not executed at 9:08 AM | It remains in the 'Open Orders' tab and may be executed after 9:15 AM during regular hours. |
I want to trade commodities in the morning | Commodity markets do not support pre-market trading through FYERS. |
