Most stock market courses online assume two things: that you are comfortable learning in English, and that the market you care about is in the United States. For millions of learners in Nepal and India, neither is true. The StockYatra Academy starts from the other end. It is built around NEPSE and the realities of investing in Nepal, and every one of its 117 lessons now opens with a short explainer video in Nepali, English and Hindi.
In short
- The StockYatra Academy has 57 short courses and 117 lessons, from NEPSE basics to technical analysis, risk and psychology.
- Each lesson opens with a short explainer video in Nepali, English or Hindi, with captions. Switch language any time.
- Finish a lesson to earn XP and league points; pass a quiz with 80% or more.
- Practise every idea straight away with virtual coins on the simulator. The course is free to start.
What the Academy covers
The Academy is a set of short, focused courses rather than one long one, so you can start where you need to. The topics follow the path most Nepali investors actually walk:
- Getting started in Nepal: NEPSE basics, how SEBON regulates the market, Demat and Meroshare, brokers and TMS, applying for shares through C-ASBA, market hours and T+2 settlement.
- Primary market and corporate actions: IPOs, FPOs, right shares, bonus shares, dividends, mutual funds, debentures.
- Fundamentals: reading financial statements, EPS and P/E, book value, ROE, dividend yield, bank metrics and hydropower basics.
- Charts: candlesticks, trends, support and resistance, volume, moving averages, RSI, MACD, chart patterns, breakouts and fakeouts.
- Risk and mindset: position sizing, risk and reward, diversification, fear and greed, avoiding the herd.
- Sectors and advanced practice: banks, hydropower, microfinance, insurance, circuit breakers, portfolio construction, short selling and margin in practice.
Many courses are free to open; some unlock with a small amount of virtual coins, which you earn by learning and practising. No course ever costs real money.
Every lesson opens with a video

Each explainer is short, usually under a minute, and designed for a phone screen. The narrator reads the lesson title, then each key point gets its own full-screen scene with a simple animated chart card. Captions highlight each word as it is spoken, so you can follow with the sound off. A recap checklist at the end repeats the points you should remember.
Switch between Nepali, English and Hindi
A language switch sits above the video. Choose Nepali, English or Hindi and the same lesson plays in that language, with the same key points. StockYatra remembers your choice for the next lesson. The same videos also appear in the Watch feed, where a language button does the same job.
Why learning in three languages matters

Finance has its own vocabulary: stop-loss, book value, circuit breaker. When the explanation around those words is also in a second language, beginners spend their energy translating rather than understanding. Hearing the idea in Nepali or Hindi first removes that barrier. Watching the English version afterwards then connects the idea to the English terms used on trading screens and in company reports. Few stock market courses anywhere offer the same lesson in all three languages side by side, and it is one of the reasons we describe StockYatra as aiming to be the world's best paper trading app for learners like these.
How lessons, XP and quizzes work
Lessons
After the video, you swipe through the lesson's written key points. When you finish, mark it complete: you earn XP, which raises your level, and league points for this week's league (up to ten lessons a day count towards league points). Completing every lesson in a course marks the course complete.
Quizzes
Quizzes check what stuck. Score 80% or more to pass. A passed quiz also earns league points, which is one more reason to review before you try. If you fall short, the result shows your score so you know what to revisit.
Practice
The most important step is the one outside the lesson: try the idea on the simulator with virtual coins. Learned about stop-losses? Place a practice trade with one. Learned about position sizing? Size your next practice trade so a loss stays small. That is how a lesson turns into a habit. If you are new to the idea, read what paper trading is.
A simple study plan

- Week 1: NEPSE basics, Demat and Meroshare, brokers and order types. Place your first practice trades.
- Week 2: Stop-loss and targets, position sizing, risk and reward. Use a stop-loss on every practice trade.
- Week 3: Candlesticks, trends, support and resistance. Mark levels before you trade and note them in your journal.
- Week 4: Fear and greed, avoiding the herd, and a fundamentals course. Review your month of practice trades.
One lesson a day is enough to keep your activity streak alive and to earn steady league points.
On your phone and on the web
The Academy is in the StockYatra app for iPhone and Android, and the same courses and lesson videos are on the web trade terminal, so you can watch on a laptop and practise on your phone with the same account and coins.
Education, not advice
The Academy teaches how markets and tools work. It never tells you which real share to buy or sell. Examples use practice trades and virtual coins, and decisions you make with real money are yours to make carefully, ideally with a licensed professional.
