How to Play & Win on Nifty Predictor?


Learn the rules and scoring system behind Nifty Predictor

Game Rules

  • Predict the movement of the Nifty 50 index for the upcoming trading session before 9:00 AM.
  • You may submit only one prediction per day. Any new submission replaces the earlier one.
  • Predictions are scored based on accuracy at 4:00 pm each trading day.
  • Each Prediction consists of two values (in the form of points or percentage):
    • Gap Prediction - How much will the market move from the previous trading day's close to the next trading day's open?
    • Day Prediction - How much will the market move from the next trading day's open to the next trading day's close?
    • Percentages are always calculated relative to the previous trading day's close.

Scoring Rules

  • Correctly predicting the direction of the day change (up or down) awards 30 points.
  • Correctly predicting the direction of the opening gap (up or down) awards 30 points.
  • Predictions (day or opening gap) within ±0.02% of zero are treated as near-flat predictions (neither up nor down). In such cases, 30 points are awarded only if the actual market movement (day or opening gap) is also within ±0.02% of zero.
  • For the Gap Prediction and Day Prediction, points are awarded based on the accuracy of the predicted values.
  • Day Predictions within ±0.5% of the actual value earn positive points, with an exact match scoring 60 points.
  • Gap Predictions within ±0.25% of the actual value earn positive points, with an exact match scoring 60 points.
  • Predictions outside the specified ranges result in negative points, with the minimum possible score capped at −20 points.
  • The score is calculated based on the diagram shown below.
