Why are there live ticks on a Saturday?

A mock trading session is conducted by the exchange on one Saturday each month. This session allows brokers to test their trading infrastructure, new products/systems, and run contingency drills. Consequently, live ticks appear on Kite on a Saturday.

Holdings or position values are displayed according to the mock-trading prices. This might result in incorrect prices on the Marketwatch and potentially inaccurate positions or holdings values. However, at the end of the session, Friday's closing will be updated.

Did you know? The mock trading calendar can be checked on NSE's (WEB) and MCX's (WEB) websites.
