Purpose, Test Files and Obligations 

The mock trading is explicitly meant for testing and familiarisation, with trades executed during the session not attracting margins, pay in or pay out obligations and not creating enforceable rights or liabilities for participants.  

For equity derivatives, a separate test contract master file with selected futures contracts for pre-open testing is being made available as Mock29 11 2025.zip on November 28, 2025, to be replaced with the live contract master file after the mock session. 

Member Participation and Feedback 

Trading members are strongly advised to connect only during the specified log in windows, as attempts to connect earlier may encounter out of order broadcast messages due to internal testing by the exchange.  

The exchange has requested members to actively participate and submit feedback on the mock trading session by 03:00 pm using the helpdesk and technology support contact channels provided in the notices, supporting continuous enhancement of trading infrastructure.
