Currency market is open till 5 pm !
Why can’t cash equity future market be open till 5 pm ?

Ohhh… so you are arguing, you may also wish if trading open for 24hrs!

I personally wish if trading Mkt open for 5hrs daily except weekend means 9am - 2pm only.
I never compare trading with normal 9-5 jobs.

Its people who doesn’t has personal/Social/healthy/peaceful life want these type of things I have also heard some news anchor who I strictly believe doesn’t love their family want to open mkt till 12 night bcoz they enjoy spreading nonsense, (I must say CUT the CRAP) .

Ok sir, any other requests???

[ronin_sha]

Cuz market doesn’t give a shit about what you want and doesn’t care for anyone’s whims and wishes.

Indian cash market is one of the laziest systems in the world - 120+ holidays in a year. This increases volatility and on top of that the price swings by 5 paisa every tick instead of 1, as the market accumulates more volume even a 1 paisa swing can move large amounts of cash. The slackers responsible for making this system will one day crash the whole economy.

I mean : what is the logic that cash equity future market close at 3.30 pm ?
Why not 3.15 pm ?
Why not 3.45 pm ?
Why only 3.30 pm ?
What is the reason sense logic ?

The beauty of the stock market is that it has nothing to do with your said things… you are free to trade however you want. 5hrs really? The beauty of the market remaining open 24 hrs is you could trade whenever you want and however long you want…

Seems like comparing STOCK MKT with 24hrs Suppermkt / Departmental Store
seems like mkt is ready to gave money to traders every part of 24hrs (JUST LIKE ATM) but we can’t able to take opportunity

@Gautam

I am a late riser and by the time I get by the menial tasks it’s already over noon. I place a few trades during market hours but I am not only into the markets, I watch movies do other stuff in-between etc etc. and once the equity markets close I move on to the currency, though I don’t trade often but I just like to look at the live charts and when they close I move on to the commodity, mostly crudeoil. Here too I am just a passive observer, I was active once but lately for over a year I just sit and enjoy the movement.

I have nothing to say, just read what you write.

If it is open till evening , even working people can do trading after their job , this way trading addicts can go for work and also do trading and lose what they earn in job

Guys to be frank trading extension is very good , but only concern here is liquidity , may be in 5 or 6 years , when the liquidity is very good , trading time extension is actually good thing.

[vishnux]

If liquidity is good , what is your problem if trading closes 3pm or 11pm. You are afraid you will over trade and lose what you earned ? if you cannot control that urge , even if trading is there only for 3 hours , you will lose.

SEBI approved it already , but only brokers dont want it , because their work time will be more and cost will be extra to maintain.

[Prakhar_Agrawal]

I completely agree with you . There is lot of things to be managed then just to press keyboard buttons to take a trade when trading as professional.
Don’t know why retail day traders want it otherwise as I think they are only part time traders and even there are big investors , brokerage firms ,institutions who will never agree for this.
By the way 3 pm closing time is also okay.

Haan…12 baje tak kar do timing…hum full-time traders toh qthiye baithe hai yahan…trading ke alawa aur koi life hai hi ni humari…
