Paper trading app for Windows and Android

Most paper trading tools are a browser tab. PaperTrade also installs — a real Windows application and an Android app — sharing one account, one licence and one virtual portfolio with the website.

The desktop app

A proper installed application for Windows, not a shortcut to a web page. It updates itself when a new version ships, so you are not reinstalling anything by hand.

It runs against the same live NSE prices as the website and holds the same portfolio, so a position opened on your laptop at lunchtime is there on your phone that evening.

The Android app

The phone app carries the whole desk: the trade ticket, the option chain, the pre-open screener, replay and your portfolio. Screens that need width scroll sideways rather than squeezing every column into two characters.

One licence, two devices at a time

A licence covers the website and the installed apps together. You can be signed in on the website and in the app at the same time — a laptop and a phone are one person.

What it will not do is run two websites or two phones at once. Signing in on a second browser ends the session on the first one and says so plainly, rather than leaving you wondering why you were logged out.

Do you need a broker account?

No. Live prices are included, served through the app’s own market data connection, so you can practise against the real market from the moment you sign in — no demat account, no KYC, nothing to open.

If you would rather use your own Upstox connection you can add it in Settings. The token is read-only, encrypted before it is stored and never shown back to you, and it keeps working independently of ours.

Updates and activation

The Windows app checks for new versions and updates itself, so a fix shipped on a Tuesday reaches you without a download page.

A licence key activates one machine. Moving to a new laptop means releasing the old activation rather than buying again, and support can do that for you.

What it costs

The website has a two-day trial with no card required — no card, no auto-renewal, and nothing to cancel. The installed apps need a paid plan: monthly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime licence.

Prices are on the home page and the checkout charges exactly what is advertised. Practising is not free forever, but finding out whether you like it is.
