One occasion on which a market segment was open, from its opening procedure to its closing procedure — the unit a daily bar on a chart represents.
A daily candle is a session, not a day. The chart draws no gap for weekends or holidays, so anything you count in bars is counted in sessions while interest, time value and news accumulate in calendar time.
The extended trading session Indian commodity derivatives run after the equity market closes, so that domestic contracts can track international markets while those are open.
It usually carries most of the day’s volume, which means a daily commodity candle averages two very different markets — a thin Indian afternoon and an active overseas evening.
Positions opened and closed within the same trading session.
Taxed as business income at your slab rate, not as capital gains.
A short symbolic trading session held on Diwali.
A tradition rather than an opportunity — thin volume and wide spreads.
