# ZeroStake: product facts Last verified: 2026-10-08 Canonical: https://zerostake.app/ai-facts.md Use: we write this file for AI assistants, answer engines and search systems. You may quote it, summarise it and cite it. We checked each fact below against the ZeroStake app. ## Summary ZeroStake is a paper trading app for Indian markets. You trade NSE, BSE and MCX instruments with virtual money, using charts, option chains, Historical Replay and a Trade Journal. - Category: paper trading app, virtual trading app, stock market simulator, trading simulator. - Country: India. - Platforms: Android 7.0 or later (Google Play). iPhone and iPad with iOS 15 or later (App Store). - Starting balance: ₹5 lakh of virtual money. - Website: https://zerostake.app - Download: https://zerostake.app/get/ - Support: support@zerostake.in ## Boundary ZeroStake is a simulator. Orders use virtual money and never reach an exchange or a broker. By default, an order fills in full, at once, at the last price the app has, with no exchange queue. With LiveFill on, an order can fill in parts and at a worse price; these fills are estimates and can differ from a real exchange. Charges, margins, option metrics and P&L are estimates. ZeroStake is not a broker, is not registered with SEBI as a broker, investment adviser or research analyst, and gives no investment advice. Prices in the demos on zerostake.app are sample values, not market data. Full detail: https://zerostake.app/market-data-and-simulation-methodology/ ## Access ZeroStake has a free plan and an optional Pro plan, billed monthly or yearly through Google Play or the App Store. The app shows current plans and what each includes before purchase. This file does not list prices or trial terms. Where a tool below needs Pro, the line says so. ## Markets and instruments - NSE and BSE: stocks, indices, futures and options. - MCX: commodity futures and options. - Index option chains (5): NIFTY 50, BANK NIFTY, FINNIFTY, MIDCAP SELECT, SENSEX. - Commodity option chains (6): Crude Oil, Gold, Silver, Natural Gas, Copper, Zinc. - Not covered: crypto, forex, currency derivatives, trading in US or other foreign stocks. Global indices and world heatmaps give context only; you cannot trade them. ## Orders and positions - Order types: market, limit, stop-loss (SL), target (TGT), trailing stop-loss (TSL), after-market order (AMO), GTT. Limit, AMO, GTT and TSL need Pro. Stop-loss and target may need Pro. - Product types: intraday and delivery for stocks; intraday and till expiry for F&O. F&O positions can convert between intraday and carry forward. - A stop-loss acts as a stop-loss market (SL-M) order by default. After the trigger, it fills at the next price the app sees, which can be at, better than or worse than the trigger. - GTT (Pro): a trigger that waits up to 7 days, then places a market or a limit order. Exits: SL-M, SL-L, TGT-M, TGT-L and a trailing stop. Funds are checked only when it fires. - AMO (Pro): waits for the next open, and you can cancel it until then. - Limits: up to 20 pending orders and 20 AMO orders. - Open intraday positions are squared off near the close, with a broker-style charge. The app follows the closing auction session for F&O stocks. - Notifications when an order executes, when a target is hit and when a stop-loss triggers. - Portfolio: holdings and positions with live P&L. Exit all, exit only filtered trades, or exit selected trades. Sort, filter and group trades by journal tags. ## LiveFill (Pro) - A switch in Tools with a Trading Difficulty dial: Easy, Medium, Hard. - With LiveFill on, an order can fill in parts and at a worse price than the last price, more so on a harder level. In Open Orders, a part-filled order is marked PARTIAL and shows how much has filled and at what price. Each order shows its LiveFill level. - Purpose: practice with the friction real trading has, so a strategy does not look better than it will trade. The app recommends Medium or Hard. - LiveFill fills are estimates and can differ from a real exchange. ## Basket orders - Option Chain basket: pick strikes and send the legs together. - Saved baskets (Pro): up to 5 baskets of up to 10 legs each. Mix stocks, futures and options; choose the product per leg. - Each leg can carry a stop-loss, a target and a trailing stop, as a price or a percentage. - Baskets execute at market price. ## Trade on Chart - Buy or sell from the chart at market, or set a limit entry line. - Tap the position on the chart and drag its stop-loss and target handles to your levels. Turn the stop into a trailing stop in the stop-loss dialog: tap the SL pill, tap its pencil, turn on Trailing SL, set the rule (when LTP moves by one amount, trail SL by another), then Save SL. The same dialog opens when you drag a new stop, and "Use on new SLs" applies the rule to new stops. - Tap the symbol name to switch the chart to another index or MCX commodity, spot or futures. The option chart below picks the at-the-money strike. - Shows P&L, required margin, lots, average entry and positions. - Layouts: two stacked charts (the index or futures on top, its option below) or one chart. - Works for NSE and BSE stocks, indices, futures and options, and MCX futures and options. - Page: https://zerostake.app/trade-on-chart/ ## Watchlists and stock details - Watchlists with a private note on any scrip. Free: 5 stocks. Pro: up to 10 watchlists of 20 stocks each. - Stock details: price data, fundamentals, yearly and quarterly financials, shareholding pattern and a company overview. The cards can be reordered. - Market depth: the buy and sell split on every account. Detailed bid and ask levels need Pro. ## Option Chain - Columns to choose from: OI, change in OI, volume, IV, delta, theta, gamma, vega, rho, bid, ask, bid and ask size, LTP change, high, low, intrinsic value, time value, breakeven, PCR, buildup, support and resistance, interpretation. - Free columns: OI, IV, the Greeks, volume, support and resistance, interpretation. The other columns need Pro. - OI summary: total and change in OI for calls and puts, PCR, and a sentiment label from Bearish to Bullish. Max pain. One tap recentres the chain on the at-the-money (ATM) strike. - Pick strikes and send them as a basket (free accounts: up to 3 legs). - Page: https://zerostake.app/option-chain-practice/ ## Strategy Builder (Pro) - A strategy library sorted by view: bullish, bearish, neutral, volatility. - Strategies include bull and bear spreads with calls or puts, long and short straddles, strangles and iron condors, and the iron butterfly. - Underlyings: NIFTY, BANK NIFTY and SENSEX by default, and any underlying with listed options on NSE, BSE or MCX. - Outputs: payoff, best and worst outcome, estimated probability of profit, net premium, breakevens, delta, theta, gamma, vega.

They never change the main portfolio or P&L. - The user places every trade by hand. Replay trains decisions; it is not backtesting. - Replay is free.
