Live ticks on a Saturday mean NSE and BSE are running an officially announced special live trading session that day — a genuine live market, just outside the usual Monday-to-Friday calendar. It isn't a Rupeezy data glitch or stale/cached prices being shown as live.
What is a special trading session?
NSE and BSE normally trade Monday to Friday. Every so often, the exchanges schedule a live session on an otherwise non-trading day and announce it in advance via an exchange circular. The best-known example is Muhurat trading — a short live session held every year around Diwali, which can fall on any day of the week, including a Saturday. Exchanges have also occasionally run other announced special live sessions for reasons specific to that year.
When one of these is scheduled, the session is genuinely live — real orders, real trades, real tick-by-tick price movement — for however long the exchange keeps it open. Rupeezy shows it exactly like it shows any other live session, which is why you'll see prices ticking on your watchlist or chart even though it's a Saturday.
How do I know if it's a genuine special session?
- NSE and BSE publish the session in advance, usually with weeks of notice.
- It applies to the whole market for that exchange — not to a single stock or your account specifically.
- Rupeezy will have communicated it in advance if it affects your trading that day.
If you're seeing full live movement on an ordinary Saturday with no announced session, that isn't expected — raise a support ticket so it can be looked into, rather than assuming it's a special session.
Things to keep in mind
- On a regular Saturday (or any other non-trading day), the exchanges are closed and there are no live ticks — you'll see the last traded price from the previous session, unchanged.
- A special session is usually shorter than a regular trading day, and the exchange sets its own start and end time for it.
