The National Stock Exchange (NSE) will conduct mock trading sessions across capital, commodity, and currency derivatives markets on Saturday, August 30.

The mock trading sessions are designed to familiarize participants with the platform and processes and ensure the resilience and reliability of live market operations.

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) has announced that it will conduct mock trading sessions across its capital, commodity, and currency derivatives markets on Saturday, August 30. These sessions are designed to test the exchange's trading systems, infrastructure, and contingency procedures in a controlled environment [1].

The mock trading sessions will not involve any new software updates and are intended to familiarize participants with the platform and processes. They will also help evaluate the exchange's systems under high volumes and stress situations, ensuring the resilience and reliability of live market operations [1].

The NSE typically conducts mock trading once a month. The schedule for the capital market session on August 30 includes a morning block deal window, pre-open session, special pre-open session for IPOs/relisted securities, normal market open and close, closing session, and trade modification end time [1].

The commodity derivatives segment will follow a similar schedule, with normal market open and close times, position limit/collateral value setup cut-off, trade modification end time, and re-login window [1].

For currency derivatives, the schedule will also include normal market open and close times, trade modification end time, and a re-login session [1].

The NSE emphasizes that trades during mock sessions will not result in any fund pay-in or payout. These sessions are part of the exchange's efforts to maintain a robust and resilient trading platform [1].
