Phir system ek opening price nikalta hai jo zyada se zyada buy aur sell orders ko match kare.In pre-open you can enter orders, but nothing trades. Then the system works out an opening price that matches as many buy and sell orders as possible.
7. 1:20Normal trading mein buyer aur seller ki price milte hi order match hota hai. Post-close mein sirf closing price par trade hota hai.In normal trading, an order matches as soon as a buyer's and a seller's price meet. In post-close you trade only at the closing price.

Aur KSE-30 five percent hil kar paanch minute wahan rahe, to poora market halt hota hai.Each share has a daily band, usually 10% either side of the previous close. And if the KSE-30 moves 5% and stays there for five minutes, the whole market halts.
