Questions about StockVirtue

No. StockVirtue is a simulator. Every trade uses virtual money, and nothing you do in the app reaches an exchange or a broker. You never deposit, withdraw or lose real money.

Yes. The app is free to download and use, and there's nothing to deposit.

No. No real money or shares are involved, so you don't need a demat account or KYC. We never ask for your PAN, Aadhaar or bank details.

Anyone who is 18 or older. You confirm your age when you sign up.

On Android, from the Google Play Store.

No. Nothing in the app or on this site is advice or a recommendation to buy or sell anything. It's a learning tool. For real investing, speak to a SEBI-registered investment adviser.

Yes. The app uses real NSE, BSE and MCX prices. While a market is open you see its prices as it trades; when it's shut, you see its last closing price.

Shares on the NSE and BSE, index and stock futures and options, and MCX commodities such as gold, silver and crude oil. You sell only what you hold, so short selling and option writing aren't available.

Many MCX lots, such as a kilo of gold, cost more than the ₹10 lakh you start with. So in the app you buy commodities by the unit, at full price and without margin, which keeps the numbers sensible for a practice account.

Yes. Trades are charged the way a discount broker's contract note shows them: STT, exchange and SEBI charges, stamp duty and GST, and brokerage on everything except delivery share trades. Your profit or loss is always after these costs.

Yes. It waits for the next session: a market order fills at the opening price, and a limit order fills once the price reaches it. The app knows weekends and NSE holidays.

Either that market is closed, or our data licence lets the website show only closing prices. The time beside the price tells you which close it is.

Under its data licence, the website may show prices a few minutes late, and the label says how late. A price also says Delayed when it hasn't updated for more than five minutes.

There are 17 short lessons in seven modules, from market basics to F&O and trader psychology. Each lesson has quiz questions to answer as you go, and you can try what you've learnt on the market straight away.

Everyone in a room or tournament is ranked by their trading returns. Referral bonuses and other credits are taken out first, so whoever is on top got there by trading.
