What actually moves the odds

Indian equity markets run 09:15–15:30 IST on trading days; the first and last 30–45 minutes usually see the highest volatility and volume.
Many traders avoid opening large positions in the first few minutes, when prices can be noisy before the session settles.
Scheduled events — results season, RBI policy days, Union Budget day — routinely widen ranges and are worth marking on a calendar in advance.
Some traders also reference Muhurat-style auspicious timing culturally, but it has no proven effect on price behaviour beyond the special Diwali session.
Whatever the entry window, the exit plan — target and stop-loss — has more influence on the outcome than the exact minute of entry.
