Things to keep in mind before you trade

Treat it like the first page of a new ledger: a few careful entries beat a rush.

Get ready

Account
Have your demat and trading account active, with KYC complete, a couple of days before Diwali.
Funds
Add money early. Banks run holiday schedules around Diwali, so transfers can take longer.
Research
Shortlist what you want to buy during regular market hours, not in the middle of a 70-minute session.

Manage risk

Position size
Keep each trade to a small, planned share of your portfolio, however special the evening feels.
Liquidity
Some stocks trade thinly in the session, so prices can jump between orders. Limit orders help.
Time horizon
The first trade is symbolic. Favour quality companies you would hold for years over quick flips.

Know the mechanics

Order types
Know how market, limit and stop-loss orders behave in a short, busy window.
Settlement
Muhurat trades settle and carry margin rules like any other trading day.
The app
Update the Lemonn app and check your login before 2:20 PM, so the bell finds you ready.
