During this window, buyers and sellers place orders and the exchange determines the listing price through a call auction, finding the price at which the maximum number of shares can be traded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Regular trading: 10:00 AM \u2013 3:30 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the pre-open session ends, the stock enters the regular trading session and trades normally for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Price bands on listing day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No upper or lower circuit limits apply on the listing day.
