Paper trading vs. real trading
Paper trading Learn first
- Same live NEPSE prices & mechanics
- Mistakes cost lessons, not rupees
- No Demat, broker or KYC to start
- Replay a session and trade it again
Real trading When you're ready
- Same live prices — but real money at risk
- Every beginner mistake costs real rupees
- Needs a Demat, Meroshare & broker
- No rewind — you can't retry a bad day

Frequently asked questions
How do I start learning the stock market in Nepal?
Start with the basics of how shares and NEPSE work, learn to read a chart, then practise on a simulator before risking real money. This hub orders those steps for you, and StockYatra lets you practise each one free with virtual coins.
Do I need money to learn trading?
No. You can learn every concept here for free, and practise them on StockYatra with 10,000 virtual coins — no Demat, broker or KYC required until you're ready for real trading.
How long does it take to learn trading?
There's no fixed timeline, but most people benefit from working through the basics, then journaling 40–50 practice trades with a written plan before going live. Learning by doing — on a simulator — is far faster than reading alone.
