When are Pre-Market and Post-Market sessions, and how do I place orders in FYERS?

Can I place MTF orders during the pre-market or post-market session?

Yes, we provide flexibility to place equity orders outside regular market hours through dedicated Pre‑Market and Post‑Market sessions on NSE and BSE. These short windows let you queue or execute orders before or after the main market (9:15 AM to 3:30 PM), useful for early positioning or delivery‑based execution at the day’s close.

Pre‑Market Session

Time: 9:00 AM to 9:08 AM (trading days, NSE & BSE)

The Pre‑Market (Pre‑Open) session allows you to place equity cash orders before the regular market opens. Orders are sent to the exchange during the auction window. If matched, execution happens before 9:15 AM; if unmatched, they carry forward automatically to the main market.

Purpose of the Pre‑Market Session

  • Absorb overnight global/domestic developments prior to open.
  • Facilitate price discovery and reduce opening volatility.
  • Queue buy/sell orders before the main session.

Allowed Order Types

  • Delivery (CNC) and Intraday (MIS) in equities only.
  • Limit orders only in Pre‑Market.
Important: Market orders are not allowed in the Pre‑Market session. Please place a Limit order. This safeguard helps maintain orderly price discovery in the auction and protects you from wide opening spreads and unfavorable executions when liquidity is thin.

Not Allowed

  • Market orders, Trigger orders.
  • Bracket Orders (BO), Cover Orders (CO) and Scheduled Orders.
  • F&O, Currency and Commodity orders.
