Forward-test your strategy on live NSE/BSE prices with fills that behave like the real market — circuit-locked stocks don't fill, and your stop-loss discipline gets tested, not skipped.
Free forever · No broker account needed · No credit card
Typical simulators "fill" your order even when a stock is locked at upper circuit — a trade you could never take with real money. You learn a strategy that only works on paper.
Most virtual trading apps test whether you can pick entries. Real P&L is decided at the exit — and most simulators never make you practise it.
Your practice history disappears when you go live. The point of paper trading is evidence — you should carry it with you.
Build a basket of NSE/BSE stocks and mark it as a Forward Test. It tracks live market prices like a real portfolio — value, P&L, allocation, day movers.
If a stock is frozen at its circuit limit, your paper order stays unfilled — exactly like the real market. No fantasy entries, no fantasy exits.
Put a percentage stop-loss and target on any stock, or a 20-EMA trailing stop that rides the trend. Get alerted the moment a level breaks.
When the strategy earns your confidence, import your real trades from Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, Dhan or Kotak — and compare live results against the forward test.
No broker login, no KYC — just an email (or sign in with Google).
Add the stocks your strategy picks, with quantities and entry prices. Mark the basket as a Forward Test.
Add %-based or 20-EMA stop-loss alerts, then let live prices judge the strategy — without risking a rupee.

Backtesting replays a strategy on past data, where hindsight and overfitting flatter your results. Forward testing runs the strategy on live market prices from today onward — the same uncertainty you'd face with real money, minus the risk.
More realistic than most paper trading apps. If a stock is locked at its circuit limit, your paper order doesn't fill — because it wouldn't fill in the real market either. Most simulators happily "buy" you an upper-circuit stock at the locked price, which teaches exactly the wrong lesson.
Yes — two kinds. Set a percentage-based stop-loss and target on any stock, or use a 20-EMA trailing stop that follows the trend. You get an alert when a level is hit, so you practise exit discipline, not just entries.
Yes. When you're ready to go live, TradeDiary imports your real trades from Zerodha, Groww, Upstox, Dhan, Kotak and other Indian brokers — so your paper results and real results live side by side.
