A good practice app should also teach you to read the market, not just press buttons in it. Alongside its simulator, StockYatra carries a set of market tools, and they follow one principle: real data you look at, simulated prices you practise on, never mixed.
Six tools, one app
1. NEPSE Live Data (view-only)
A separate section shows real NEPSE indices, sector sub-indices, the market summary, gainers and losers. It is view-only and kept completely apart from the simulator: you look, you do not trade it. That separation is deliberate. It means you can compare your practice board with the real market without ever confusing the two.
2. Heatmap
The whole board at a glance, coloured by move. It is the fastest way to see whether a day is broad strength, broad weakness or one sector doing all the work. A short Nepali help video explains how to read it.
3. Top movers and sectors
Who is up, who is down, and which sectors are leading. Useful before the daily call (The daily Bull-or-Bear call and weekly leagues) and for spotting where the action is on each board.
4. Price alerts
Set an alert above or below any price and StockYatra notifies you once when it is crossed, even with the app closed. Keep up to 50. Use them to practise patience: decide your level in advance, set the alert, and stop staring at the screen.
5. Watchlist
Your shortlist on every board, so a practice session starts from names you have already researched rather than whatever is moving.
6. Shareable trader profile
Your public profile has its own link on the web trade terminal, with a preview card showing your rank and win rate. Share progress with friends or a study partner without screenshots. Cosmetics from the Yatra Bazaar show here too (Inside the Yatra Bazaar).
Plus: the IPO calendar
For Nepal’s primary market, the IPO tracker lists IPOs, FPOs, right shares, debentures, mutual funds and auctions with statuses and dates, and a Meroshare guide: How to apply for an IPO in Nepal.
