How to validate

• Validate Demat Account readings by session tag — open hour stats differ from midday.
• Check behaviour on gap-up/gap-down days separately on Nifty tags.
• Correlate with India VIX buckets (calm vs elevated) before changing rules.
• Confirm liquidity notes were filled on fast-market days.

How to track in TradeLyser

• Tag session phase and liquidity state on each trade influenced by Demat Account.
• Daily journal: one line on market structure context (gap, range, trend).
• Filter analytics by session tag during monthly review.
• Note India VIX at session open when structure rules depend on volatility.

Best practices

• Pre-define how Demat Account maps to session tags each quarter.
• Reduce size on expiry and event sessions when structure breaks.
• Journal gap days explicitly — averages hide gap risk.
• Align structure tags with India cash session hours (9:15–15:30).

Common pitfalls

• Applying midday rules to the opening 15 minutes without adjustment.
• Trading illiquid names with the same Demat Account assumptions as Nifty.
• Forgetting overnight gap risk on “intraday” tags.
• Over-tagging — so many structure labels that review becomes noise.
