Free paper trading simulator for Indian markets

The VIA Capital Trade Simulator lets you practise trading Indian stocks, NIFTY, Bank Nifty and SENSEX futures and options with virtual money. You place real order types, see brokerage and exchange charges, track positions and profit and loss, and keep a trading journal, so you can learn how markets behave before you ever risk real money. Prices come from a live market feed during market hours.

What you can practise

• Market, limit and stop-loss orders on NSE and BSE stocks with virtual capital.
• Index options and futures with an option chain, expiries and margin estimates.
• Candlestick charts with one-minute to daily timeframes.
• Portfolio analytics, discipline scores, challenges and an opt-in leaderboard.
• A journal that records why you entered and exited each practice trade.

Who it is for

Students, NISM certification candidates and beginners who want hands-on experience with how orders, charges and risk work. You pay only for the practice software, never for capital. The simulator is for education only: no real money is traded and nothing here is investment advice.
