How to validate

  • Validate IPO (Initial Public Offering) 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.

Best practices

  • Pre-define how IPO (Initial Public Offering) 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 IPO (Initial Public Offering) assumptions as Nifty.
  • Forgetting overnight gap risk on “intraday” tags.
  • Over-tagging — so many structure labels that review becomes noise.
