Muhurat Trading marks an auspicious start to the financial year, symbolizing wealth, prosperity, and new beginnings for investors. This makes it a special occasion for traders and investors to celebrate Diwali the stock market way!

Muhurat trading session on Diwali day works just like regular trading session and is open for one-hour for trading for all key segments including equity, F&O, currency and even commodities. However, this session is attached to a highly symbolic and traditional purpose. It is believed that trading during this "auspicious period" (muhurat) brings wealth and success during the upcoming year.

This one-hour auspicious window is divided into a 15-minute pre-opening session, the one-hour normal market session where actual trading — buying and selling of stocks, F&O, commodities, etc. Takes place and the closing session where traders can place orders at the determined closing price.

It signifies the blend of tradition and finance, where investors trade during Diwali to seek Goddess Laxmi's blessings for financial growth and success.

The special one-hour session of Muhurat Trading 2025 will be held on Tuesday, October 21st. Unlike every year when the session is held in the evening, this year's muhurat trading session is in the afternoon between 1:45pm to 2:45pm. There will also be a pre-open session from 1:30 PM to 1:45 PM.

Yes, it's considered an auspicious time to begin new investments, symbolizing prosperity and positive beginnings in the financial year.

It is more symbolic than strategy so even if the trades may not yield immediate profits, participating can set a positive tone for your investing journey and is a great way to start building long-term wealth. Plus, for beginners, if you haven't started investing yet, this festive session can be your first step toward financial independence. Even small investments today can grow over time, helping you build wealth for the future.

Yes of course, as a derivatives trader you can trade in futures and options during the one-hour auspicious window of muhurat trading. You can initiate or square off your F&O positions just like on a normal day. However, MTF orders will not be allowed during this special session.

Yes, intraday trading is permitted, but due to the short one-hour window, most traders prefer delivery-based positions.

Of course, everyone can participate in muhurat trading including new investors. In fact, the auspicious hour of muhurat trading can be a good opportunity for you to make your first trade in the stock market. This will kickstart your wealth creation journey on a positive note!

While you cannot buy mutual funds through exchange and hence mutual fund investments cannot be made during muhurat trading session. However, you can invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Yes, any investor with a trading account registered with a SEBI-recognized broker can participate in Muhurat Trading. If you don't have one yet, make sure to open a demat and trading account before Diwali day to place your trades.

Yes of course. Muhurat trading works just like any other trading day, so all NSE and BSE-listed stocks are available. However, liquidity is usually higher in frontline and large-cap stocks.

Muhurat trading isn't much different from regular trading days in terms of process and rules — all NSE and BSE stocks can be traded as usual. What makes it special is the occasion: it's a festive, auspicious and only one-hour session held on Diwali that symbolizes new beginnings and wealth creation. It's filled with festive spirit and hence investors and traders often treat it as a positive start to the financial year rather than a typical trading day.

Do focus on quality, long-term investments, and don't chase quick profits — trade with discipline and festive positivity.
