What are the trading hours, and when are positions squared off?

Intraday Trading Window and Auto Square Off

The Evaluation mirrors the regular schedule of the National Stock Exchange of India. You may place simulated trades during the standard intraday window, beginning at market open and ending before the official closing bell.

All open positions are automatically squared off at 3:15 PM. This ensures that no trader carries overnight risk, which aligns with the rules of a structured prop firm style program. Overnight positions introduce gap risk, margin complications and external uncertainty, which fall outside the scope of intraday skill evaluation.

For best results, plan your entries and exits with the 3:15 PM auto cutoff in mind, especially during high volatility periods.
