Announcements

The global outage that impacted brokers across the industry now seems to be resolved. Further updates will be posted here.

Starting 8 December 2025, traders on Upstox can participate in the new NSE pre-open session for index and stock futures.

What does this mean? Typically, markets open at 9:15 AM and close at 3:30 PM. Pre-open is a 15-minute window before the market opens, from 9:00 am to 9:15 am. During this period, traders can place, modify, or cancel orders, but trades don’t happen immediately.

Instead, the system collects all buy and sell orders and determines a single opening price (called the equilibrium price) based on demand and supply.

Until now, the pre-open window has existed only for Equities. But with NSE rolling this out for futures, you can now place pre-order futures trades too.

How is the opening price decided? The system picks the price where the maximum buyers and sellers match. If multiple prices qualify, the exchange selects:

Example: If buyers and sellers both match for 500 NIFTY Futures contracts at ₹25,500, then ₹25,500 becomes the opening price.
