Why should you make a note of MCX Holidays in India, 2022? Making a list of MCX holidays will help you to plan trading activities in advance. They differ from bank holidays and on MCX holidays, investors cannot place a new order or close an existing order. Trading involves risk and things are better when they are planned for. That’s all for this post. Happy Trading!
