What Are the Intraday Square‑Off Timings at FYERS?
Intraday positions must be closed before market close to avoid overnight risks. We at FYERS trigger automated square‑off via our Risk Management System (RMS) at predefined cut‑off times that vary by segment.
- At a glance: Equity & F&O square‑off typically starts at 3:15 PM (IST).
- Non‑Agri commodities square‑off starts 15 minutes before their respective close (see table).
Intraday Square‑Off Timings by Segment
| Segment | Market Close Time | Square‑Off Initiation |

| Equity (Cash Market) | 3:30 PM | 3:15 PM |
| Index F&O (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, etc.) | 3:30 PM | 3:15 PM |
| Stock F&O | 3:30 PM | 3:15 PM |
| Non‑Agri Commodities (Crude, Gold, etc.) | 11:30 PM / 11:55 PM* | 11:15 PM / 11:40 PM* |

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. |

Tip: To avoid execution delays or extra charges, close intraday positions before the square‑off window begins.
