What is
Paper Trading?

The flight simulator for financial markets. Experience the thrill of trading and the data of the real world, without risking a single rupee.

The Concept

Bleed in the Dojo,
Not on the Battlefield

"Paper Trading" is simply simulated trading. You get a virtual account with a balance (e.g., ₹1,00,000) and access to live, real-time market data.

You buy and sell exactly like you would with real money. The charts are real. The price movements are real. The only thing that isn't real is the risk.

"We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training." — Archilochus

Why Every Pro Started Here

You wouldn't fly a jet without hours in a simulator. Why trade your life savings without practice?

Zero Financial Risk

Make your costly rookie mistakes (like fat-finger trades or revenge trading) when the money isn't real.

Test Strategies

Have a theory? Prove it. Run it 100 times in paper trading to see if it actually has an edge before funding it.

Emotional Training

Learn to handle the FOMO and the panic. While the money is fake, your brain's reaction to a red chart is very real.
