Questions people actually ask.

Free to start — you get 10,000 coins to paper-trade the moment you sign up, no card needed. Courses are unlocked with coins, and you can top up any time (Rs.100 = 1,000 coins). Trading itself never risks real money — it's all paper.

Coins are what you trade and learn with. Every account starts with 10,000 free coins. Use them to paper-trade and to unlock courses. Want more? Top up any time — Rs.100 = 1,000 coins. Coins are for learning inside the app; they aren't real money and can't be cashed out.

You get a real head start with your 10,000 starting coins, but full courses are unlocked with coins. Each course shows its coin price, and you can always top up (Rs.100 = 1,000 coins) if you want to go further.

No. Because you're not trading real securities, there's no broker onboarding, no KYC and no account to open. You can place your first trade within a minute of signing up.

Anyone who wants to learn to trade without risking real money — complete beginners taking their first look at a chart, and experienced traders drilling a new strategy safely. It's built in Nepal and open to anyone in the world.

Not in the market — every trade is paper, settled in coins, so trading can never cost you real money. The only real spend is optional: buying coins to unlock a course or top up your practice balance. Coins have no cash value and can't be withdrawn.

Only if you choose to. Paper-trading with your 10,000 starting coins is free. If you want to unlock a course or top up your coins, you can buy coins (Rs.100 = 1,000 coins). There's no trading deposit, no withdrawal and no real securities transaction — and coins can't be converted back to cash.

No. It's an educational paper-trading simulator. It is not a broker, exchange or investment adviser, and nothing in it is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell.

Yes. Prices stream live from NEPSE. The whole point is that you practise against what the Nepali market is genuinely doing, so the skills you build actually transfer.

Live-simulated NEPSE equities and the NEPSE Index — the real Nepali market you'll trade. The instincts you build transfer straight to a real NEPSE account.

Yes. StockYatra is built in Nepal but open worldwide. Anyone, anywhere can create a paper account and learn on real NEPSE prices.

Every session is recorded. You can rewind and replay it tick for tick, as many times as you like, and trade the same moment again — better. That loop is how the reflex sticks.

Both. Guided lessons and quizzes teach a concept, then you drill it live on the market. There's also a leaderboard and XP so progress is honest and visible.

Yes. Your stop-loss and take-profit trigger the instant price touches them — even with the app closed — and a push notification tells you the moment it happens.

StockYatra is live on Android and the web now, with iOS on the way. Grab it on Google Play or open the web app at trade.stockyatra.com — one account works across both.

It's built by Lacspace, a product studio based in Nepal. We're building StockYatra in the open and expanding it continuously.

Because it's built for Nepal, not adapted from a US app. You get real NEPSE symbols (NABIL, NICA, GBIME, ADBL, UPPER), 10,000 free coins, automatic stop-loss and target orders, session replay, courses, quizzes and a leaderboard — inside a terminal that behaves like a real broker.

Most simulators either skip NEPSE, expire after a trial, or teach nothing. StockYatra runs on the real Nepali market, a permanent free practice balance, structured learning and gamified progress — so practice actually turns into skill.

Yes. Guided tours explain every screen, short courses teach one concept at a time, and you practise with virtual coins so mistakes cost a lesson, not your savings.

Yes — you can practise live-simulated prices for real NEPSE names like NABIL, NICA, GBIME, ADBL and UPPER, so the behaviour you learn transfers to a real account.

Free to start. Every account gets 10,000 coins to paper-trade and learn with, no card required. Trading is always free; optional coin top-ups only unlock extra courses.

A broker demo is usually time-limited, needs onboarding, and teaches nothing. StockYatra is free and permanent, carries real NEPSE symbols, and pairs practice with courses, quizzes, replay and a leaderboard.

None at all. If you've never seen a candlestick chart, StockYatra will walk you through it and let you practise immediately.

Live-simulated real markets, candlestick charts, a full order ticket (market, limit, stop-loss, take-profit), automatic exits with push alerts, session replay, price alerts, a portfolio with live P&L, courses, quizzes, guided tours, XP and a global leaderboard.

Yes — real candlestick charts that print tick by tick, so you can practise reading patterns, support and resistance on live-simulated prices.

Yes. Every position supports a stop-loss and a take-profit target, set right on the order ticket — exactly like a real broker terminal.

Yes. Your stop-loss and take-profit trigger the instant price touches them — even with the app closed.

Yes. A push notification tells you the moment a stop-loss or target fires, so you never miss an exit.

Yes — set an alert on any symbol and StockYatra notifies you when it reaches your level, even in the background.

Yes. Your portfolio marks to market live, showing unrealised profit and loss on every open position as prices move.

Yes. Build a watchlist of the NEPSE names you follow and jump straight to their live charts.

Interactive coach-marks that spotlight each part of a screen and explain what it does — so the app teaches itself the first time you land on any page, from the home screen to the order ticket.

Yes. Short courses and quizzes teach a concept, then you immediately drill it live on the simulator — learning by doing, not just reading.

Yes — a structured learning academy of courses and quizzes, from your first chart to real strategy, unlocked with coins.

Every session is recorded. You can rewind and replay it tick for tick and trade the same market moment again — the fastest way to turn a mistake into a reflex.

Yes. A global leaderboard ranks traders by performance, and your open positions are marked to live prices so a rank reflects money that's actually moving.

Every trade, quiz and course earns XP that moves you up levels — so your progress is honest, visible and motivating.

Almost identical. StockYatra deliberately mirrors a real broker terminal — the same order ticket, the same candlestick charts, the same stop-loss, target and alerts. When you open a real account, very little feels new.

Yes — that's the whole point. Because the interface, order types and price behaviour match real trading, the habits and instincts you build here carry straight over.

It's built to feel the same: choose a symbol, set quantity, entry, stop-loss and target, and place the order exactly as you would on a live platform.

The money. On StockYatra every trade is settled in virtual coins, so you can't lose real capital. The mechanics, charts and emotions of watching P&L are otherwise the same.

Yes. You practise the exact names, order types and risk management you'll use on NEPSE, so you arrive at a real account already fluent.

There's no fixed rule, but most traders benefit from 40–50 journaled trades with a written strategy and consistent, non-lucky results before going live — and even then, start small.

Every new account starts with 10,000 free coins — enough to start paper-trading and learning immediately.

Coins are what you paper-trade and learn with. You use them to place practice trades and to unlock courses. They're for learning inside the app.

Yes, any time — Rs.100 = 1,000 coins. Top-ups are optional and only used to unlock more courses or extend your practice balance.

No. Coins have no cash value and can't be converted back to money. StockYatra is an educational simulator, not a brokerage or wallet.

Your 10,000 starting coins give you a real head start. Full courses are unlocked with coins, and each shows its coin price; you can top up if you want to go further.

No. Paper-trading is always free. The only optional real spend is buying coins to unlock courses or top up your practice balance — never to trade.

Live-simulated NEPSE (Nepal) names — the real Nepali market, on one free account.

You trade real market symbols on live, simulated prices — the price movement and mechanics behave like the real market, so your skills transfer.

Perfectly. It's the safest way to learn NEPSE order placement, circuits and chart-reading before opening a Demat account and risking real money.

No. Because you're not trading real securities, there's no Demat, no broker and no KYC. You can place your first trade within a minute.

Yes — search real NEPSE symbols like NABIL, NICA, GBIME, ADBL and UPPER and practise them directly on live-simulated charts.

Yes. StockYatra is built in Nepal but open worldwide — anyone, anywhere can create a free paper account and learn on real symbols.

No. It's a practice and learning tool. When you're ready to invest real money, you'll still open a real Demat and broker account — StockYatra just makes sure you're ready first.

The iOS build is on the way. In the meantime, iPhone and iPad users can use the full web app at trade.stockyatra.com.

Download StockYatra on Android or open the web app, sign up with your email, and you'll get 10,000 coins to start — no card, no documents.

No. There's no KYC, no broker onboarding and no paperwork, because no real securities are traded.

It's safe by design. Every trade is paper, settled in coins, so trading can never cost you real money. The only optional real spend is buying coins to unlock courses.

No. It's an educational paper-trading simulator — not a broker, exchange or adviser — and nothing in it is investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell.

StockYatra is built by Lacspace, a product studio based in Nepal, focused on making the markets learnable for everyone.

Yes. We collect only what's needed to run your learning account and never sell your data. StockYatra is about teaching you the markets, not monetising you.
