The complete guide

How Paper Trading works

From sign-up to your first trade — the whole flow, explained. All practice, no real money.

STEP 1

Create your account

Sign up with your name, email and a password, then verify your email with a one-time code. You start with a virtual $5,000 practice balance.

STEP 2

Pick a market & analyse

Choose an NSE/BSE stock, a NIFTY or SENSEX future or option, or an MCX commodity like gold or crude. Read the chart, indicators and signals.

STEP 3

Place a paper trade

Go long or short, set your lot size, stop-loss and take-profit. Positions are marked to real live prices and auto-close on SL/TP.

STEP 4

Track & improve

Review your P&L, win rate and history. Practise risk management and refine your strategy — with zero real-money risk.

Why Paper Trading is different

Built to help you learn trading, risk-free

Real market conditions

Live prices for Indian stocks and indices — so your practice reflects how the real market moves.

Indian market, in INR

Stocks, index F&O and commodities all settle in rupees, with real lot sizes and margins.

Zero real-money risk

Everything is simulated. Learn, make mistakes, and build confidence before trading for real elsewhere.
