What makes a simulator useful
A simulator is only as good as its realism. If prices are delayed, lot sizes are wrong or positions never get squared off, the habits you build do not transfer. Trade Monky uses live market data, NSE contract specifications and broker-like order handling so the experience matches what you will face later.
What you can simulate
NSE equity
Buy and sell listed stocks intraday or as delivery, with live quotes and a running P&L.
Index options
Full option chains for NIFTY, BANKNIFTY and other indices with live premiums, so you can practise buying and writing options, spreads and adjustments.
Risk rules
Stop-loss and target orders, margin blocking on open positions and automatic intraday square-off.
Review
Trade history, per-strategy statistics and a leaderboard ranked by percentage return so you can benchmark yourself.
Simulator versus broker demo account
Broker demo accounts often reset positions, limit instruments or run on delayed feeds. A dedicated simulator keeps your full history, lets you add virtual capital when you want and is independent of any broker relationship. You can use it alongside a real account or long before opening one.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real stock market or a simulation?
A simulation. Prices are real and live, but orders are filled virtually and no money changes hands. Trade Monky is not a broker.
Which exchange is covered?
NSE equity and NSE index options.
Do I need a broker account?
No. You only need a Trade Monky account.
