Leading bourse BSE will conduct a mock trading session from its disaster recovery site on Saturday to test system performance.

In three separate circulars, BSE said it will conduct a mock trading session from its disaster recovery site in currency derivatives, equity and equity derivatives segment on Saturday, June 18, 2016.

As per the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) guidelines, the exchanges are required to conduct mock as well as live trading from disaster recovery sites to check the robustness of their systems.

Trading members using third party trading platforms can also use this opportunity to test their respective trading application during mock trading session for various functionalities (including exceptional market conditions), BSE said.

The session will be conducted from its disaster recovery site in Hyderabad.
