Suresh Baskaran: Periodic call auction is a process to limit the volatility in a illiquid stocks (stock with less volumes, less no of trades, less traded value). This call auction is done every one hour starting at 9.30 am. Each session has three phases. First 45 minutes for trade entry, modification and cancellation; next 8 mins for matching orders and trade confirmation; next 7 minutes are buffer time for closing that particular session. These order entry is valid for that one hour session only. Trade will executed if matching orders are there in that particular session.
