Product tour

See a paper trade from start to finish.

Pick a stock, drag your stop and target, and watch every rule get checked before the order goes through. Then the trade exits at its target on its own.

How it works

One loop, every trade.

01Analyse the market

Read live NSE and BSE quotes, sector moves and candlestick charts with indicators before you decide anything.

02Take a paper trade

Place a market or limit order, long or short, filled at the live price. It is paper money, and nothing reaches an exchange.

03See your risk first

Before the order goes through, you see position size, maximum loss and risk/reward. Trades that break your rules are blocked.

04Review the trade

Every closed trade lands in your history with entry, exit, charges, net P&L and its R multiple, and asks whether you followed your plan.

05Learn what works for you

Your dashboard and performance page show your equity curve, win rate, expectancy in R, and results by exit and by plan.

Risk first

Move the stop. Watch the trade change.

Your position size comes from your risk, not from a hunch. Drag the stop loss and TradhaLab recalculates size, maximum loss and risk/reward. Below 1 : 1.5, the trade is blocked.

Real costs

A winning trade can still lose money.

Every paper trade pays STT, stamp duty, exchange charges, brokerage and DP charges, the same way a real one would. When the costs are bigger than the gross profit, the trade shows as a loss.

The trading desk

The orders a real desk gives you, with the discipline it doesn't.

Everything fills at TradhaLab's latest trusted price and pays the same estimated costs a real trade would. Nothing is ever sent to an exchange.

Market and limit ordersA limit entry waits for your price and fills at it or better. It expires with the day, and it is checked against your rules again when it fills.
Short sellingSell first and buy back later when you expect a fall. Intraday only: anything still open is bought back at the 3:15 pm square-off.
Move your stop and targetTrail a stop to breakeven or widen it within your risk limit, from the positions table or by dragging the lines on the chart.
Exits that tell the truthA stop or target fills at its level when the price trades through it. A gap fills at the next price, and the slippage is recorded on the trade.
Price alertsAsk to be told when a stock crosses a level. It fires once, as a notification in the app, and switches itself off.
Charts and indicatorsOne, two or four charts of a stock, five timeframes, and more than 25 indicators and candlestick patterns computed on the server.

What changes when the plan comes first.

Traders on their first months with TradhaLab, and the one number each of them watches.

I used to size a trade by how confident I felt. Now the stop decides the size, and I can't send an order below 1 : 1.5. Three months in, my losing days are half the size they were.

The review after every trade is the feature. Answering "did you follow your plan?" honestly, 40 times, taught me more than any course.

FAQ

Questions

Is this real money?

No. Every trade on TradhaLab uses virtual money. You start with ₹10,00,000 in paper capital, and no real order is ever sent to an exchange or broker.

Do I need a broker account?

No. You do not need a demat or trading account to use TradhaLab. Sign up and start paper trading straight away. You can reset your account at any time.

Where does the market data come from?

TradhaLab shows real quotes and live ticks from NSE and BSE, covering about 2,800 NSE stocks and the major indexes, including NIFTY 50, Bank, Midcap 150, Smallcap 250, sector indexes and SENSEX.

Can I short sell or use limit orders?

Yes. A limit order waits for your price and fills at it or better; a short sale sells first and is bought back by the 3:15 pm square-off. Both go through the same stop loss, target and risk checks as any other trade.

What are Trading Battles?

Paper-trading challenges against other traders. Everyone starts with the same virtual capital for one NSE session or a whole week, trades by the challenge's risk rules, and the highest return wins. Challenges can be private, by invite link, or open to everyone.

Can I take my trades elsewhere?

Yes. Trade History exports every closed trade as a CSV file, with prices, each cost, net P&L, the R multiple and your review, ready for Excel or Google Sheets.

Is it free?

Yes. Everything is free during the beta. Start paper trading with ₹10,00,000 in virtual money, no broker account needed.

What does beta mean?

TradhaLab is new, and we're testing it with early traders. Everything is free, some things may be rough or change, and what you report gets fixed first. Your virtual money and trades carry on as we improve it. Inside the app, "Give feedback" lets you rate it and tell us what to fix.
