Muhurat Trading is a well-known old ritual of the Indian stock market. No other stock market in the world follows this custom of opening exchanges in the evening on the day of Diwali. 
The word “Muhurat” means an auspicious time, and it is propitiously received during the Hindu calendar. Many traders do their business during this time for religious, sentimental, and traditional reasons.
History of Muhurat Trading
Diwali is the time of year when many stockbrokers open new clients’ settlement accounts.Hence, they would open during the auspicious time – the Muhurat. Traders also worship their books of accounts on Diwali. Many beliefs are associated with Muhurat trading.

Things to keep in Mind Before Indulging in Muhurat Trading
-
Traders must keep a close eye on the resistance and support levels. During the Muhurat trading Sessions, it has been observed that the markets can be volatile with no specific direction.
-
Investors must ensure that they stick with the fundamentals of a company before investing in its stock for the long term.
-
Investing during this period does not guarantee returns. Even if the stock performs well on Diwali, its performance in the future will depend on its fundamentals and macroeconomic factors.
