The fastest way to learn the stock market is to trade it. The cheapest way is to trade it with money that is not real. StockYatra lets you practise on large US companies with free virtual coins, so the lessons are real and the losses are not.

What you get

  • 10,000 free virtual coins the moment you sign up. No broker account, no KYC, nothing to fund.
  • A US board of large companies priced in $, next to the Nepal and India boards on the same account.
  • Serious charts for free: ten chart types, 46 indicators, drawing tools and bar replay, so you can rewind a day and trade it again.
  • Calculators for position size, risk/reward and compounding, so you size trades by risk instead of by feeling.
  • Lessons, weekly leagues and a monthly Cup that make practice a habit and show how other learners trade.
  • Every screen you use: iPhone, Android and a browser terminal at trade.stockyatra.com, one account.

An honest note on prices

StockYatra is a practice app, not a broker. Its prices are simulated to resemble the real markets, are for education only and may be delayed or inaccurate. That is the right trade-off for learning: you practise order types, position sizing and discipline without the pressure of real money. When you are ready for real trading, you will need a regulated broker.

How to start in five minutes

  1. Get StockYatra on iPhone or Android, or open it on the web.
  2. Sign up. Your 10,000 coins arrive instantly.
  3. Choose the US board and pick a company you already know.
  4. Before you buy, decide two numbers: where you take profit and where you cut the loss. Set them as orders.
  5. Trade small, write down why, and review the result in replay at the end of the week.

Habits worth practising

  • Risk a fixed slice per trade. Use the position-size calculator so no single trade can sink the wallet.
  • Always set a stop-loss. Practise the habit while it costs nothing.
  • Keep a journal. The reason you entered matters more than the result of one trade.
  • Compare markets. Watching the US board next to Nepal and India shows how differently markets react to the same news.

Free practice covers all three markets with no per-trade fee. StockYatra Pro is an optional upgrade that adds leverage, smart orders, more strategies and more Lumi AI questions. Start with the free account; you can decide about Pro later, or never.
