- Non‑Agri commodities square‑off starts 15 minutes before their respective close (see table).

What If…
| Scenario | What You Can Do |
|---|
| You do not exit your intraday position manually | RMS auto‑squares off the position at market price; slippage and square‑off charges apply. |
| Market is highly volatile | Square‑off may be adjusted slightly for liquidity or volatility management. |
| You place a new trade after square‑off begins | It is treated as a delivery/carry‑forward trade and requires full margin upfront. |
| You want an alternative to RMS auto square‑off | Place a Smart Limit Order to exit your position and better control price and timing. How to use Smart Limit Orders. |
