Automated strategies (recurring buy, trailing sell) respect exchange session windows configured on the backend.

​
Default NSE/NFO (IST)

MCX and CDS have separate windows in backend .env (MCX_*, CDS_* variables).

​
Timezone

All checks use TIMEZONE=Asia/Kolkata unless overridden.

​
Outside hours

  • Tick streaming may still connect but strategy controllers skip placement
  • Manual orders may still attempt placement — Kite may reject outside session

​
Replay / test data

TrueData replay mode (TRUE_DATA_REPLAY=1) allows off-hours testing with historical ticks. Coordinate with ops when using replay port 8082.
