Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if a weekly F&O expiry falls on a public holiday?
If a designated trading holiday falls on a contract's scheduled expiry day (such as Thursday for Nifty or Wednesday for Bank Nifty), the contract expiry automatically advances to the previous trading business day.
Are stop-loss and GTT orders triggered during market holidays?
No. Since the order matching engines of NSE and BSE are shut down on market holidays, stop-loss trigger orders, bracket orders, and Good-Till-Triggered (GTT) orders remain dormant until regular market hours resume on the next business day.
