The Market Moves.
Your Decisions Have to Keep Up.
Knowing a trading setup is one thing.
Recognising it while the market is moving, placing the right order, managing the position and following your rules is something else.
The BRBStox Trading Simulator gives you a moving simulated market environment with tick-by-tick feed, where you can practice stocks, futures & options and commodities using virtual capital—without risking real money.
Market price data used in the Trading Simulator is historical and is made available with a minimum delay of 30 days.
A Strategy Is Only as Good as Your Ability to Follow It
A trader may know where to enter.
But when the market starts moving, other problems appear.
Should you enter now or wait?
- How much quantity should you take?
- Where should the stop-loss go?
- Should you modify the target?
- Should you exit manually?
- Should you take another trade after a loss?
The Trading Simulator gives you an environment to practice these decisions using virtual capital before real money is involved.
Practice While the Market Keeps Moving
The Trading Simulator uses historical tick-by-tick market data made available with a minimum delay of 30 days.
Once a simulator session begins, prices continue to move according to the historical market feed.
You do not control the market clock the way you can in Market Replay.
You have to watch, wait and react as the simulated session progresses.
This helps you practice:
The objective is not to predict every market move.
It is to practice your execution process.
Learn Without Putting Real Money at Risk
Your Trading Simulator account starts with the virtual capital provided under your plan.
Use it to place simulated trades, build positions and practice capital management.
Virtual capital has no real monetary value and cannot be withdrawn, redeemed or converted into real money.
If your available virtual capital is exhausted, you can purchase additional virtual capital from within BRBStox.
Any applicable price for additional virtual capital will be displayed before you make the purchase.
Reset Your Practice and Continue
Losses are part of trading practice.
If your simulated trading losses exhaust the virtual capital available in your account, you can purchase additional virtual capital and continue practising.
Purchasing virtual capital:
- Does not add real money to a trading account
- Does not represent an investment or deposit
- Cannot be withdrawn
- Cannot be converted into cash
- Applies only to your BRBStox simulated trading account
The applicable virtual-capital amount and purchase price will be displayed inside the platform before payment.
Practice Across Different Trading Segments
Stocks
Indices
Futures
Options
NSE instruments
MCX instruments
Instrument, contract, expiry and historical-data availability may vary.
Practice More Than Just Buy and Sell
Trading involves more than choosing direction.
The Simulator lets you practice supported order types such as:
Market Order
Place the simulated trade at the available market price.
Limit Order
Define the price at which you want the simulated order to execute.
Stop-Limit Order
Set a trigger and limit price according to the supported order flow.
Available order types may vary depending on the instrument and product configuration.
Decide How Much Capital You Want to Risk
A trade should not become larger simply because you feel more confident about it.
The Trading Simulator helps you practice position sizing in different ways.
Depending on the supported order flow, you may:
- Enter a fixed quantity
- Allocate a fixed amount of virtual capital
- Allocate a percentage of available virtual capital
- Allow the platform to calculate supported quantity
Always review the quantity and simulated risk before confirming the order.
Plan the Exit Before the Trade Gets Emotional
Define how you intend to manage the trade before or after entering the position.
Depending on the supported order flow, you can practice:
- Profit targets
- Fixed stop-losses
- Stop-loss modification
- Manual exits
The purpose is not to find the perfect exit every time.
It is to practice managing risk according to a defined plan.
Understand the Capital Required for a Position
For futures and options positions, BRBStox calculates the margin requirements.
This can help you understand:
- How much virtual capital a trade may require
- The effect of adding additional legs
- The effect of hedging
- How different position structures affect available capital
Simulated margin may differ from the margin charged by an actual broker or exchange.
Understand the Position as a Complete Structure
Some options positions contain multiple legs designed to work together.
The Trading Simulator can recognise eligible hedged structures and apply the corresponding simulated-margin logic.
This is useful when practising:
- Spreads
- Defined-risk strategies
- Multi-leg options positions
- Futures-and-options combinations
Build and Practice Multi-Leg Options Positions
Options trading can become difficult to manage when multiple strikes and legs are involved.
The BRBStox Options Trader helps you build supported multi-leg strategies in one place.
You can review:
Then place the basket when you are ready.
Start With a Recognised Structure
Choose from available prebuilt options strategies rather than building every position from the beginning.
Depending on the strategy, you can review and modify supported parameters before placing the simulated trade.
Prebuilt strategies are provided for practice and learning.
They are not trading recommendations and do not imply that a particular strategy is suitable for current or future market conditions.
Practice the Position You Actually Have in Mind
If a prebuilt strategy does not match your idea, create a supported custom basket.
A basket may include multiple supported positions such as:
- Stocks
- Futures
- Call options
- Put options
Review the complete structure, quantity and simulated margin before placing the basket.
This is particularly useful for practising multi-leg strategies as one position instead of managing every leg independently.
Find Instruments Worth Studying
BRBStox may provide supported screening tools to help you narrow down the market.
These may include:
- Stock screeners
- Index views
- Sector views
A screener provides the condition of Indices, Stocks or Sectors.
It does not provide a buy-or-sell recommendation.
Analyze Before You Execute
The Trading Simulator is connected with BRBStox professional charting tools.
Use charts to:
- Study price action
- Apply indicators
- Draw support and resistance
- Mark trendlines
- Compare timeframes
- Monitor volume
- Review patterns
- Organise multiple charts
The purpose is to connect analysis and execution inside the same practice environment.
Know What Is Happening After You Enter
Once a simulated position is open, monitor information such as:
You can then manage or exit the trade according to the supported order flow.
Your Position Does Not Wait for the Candle to Close
Because the Simulator uses historical tick-by-tick data, simulated P&L can move as prices change within the market session.
This provides a more detailed practice environment than relying only on completed candles.
Actual real-market execution may still differ because of liquidity, spreads, market depth, partial fills, slippage, execution delays and other factors.
Review What You Actually Did
The Simulator maintains a record of simulated trading activity.
You will be able to review:
The objective is not simply to count winning trades.
It is to understand how you traded.
Look for Patterns in Your Behaviour
A single trade tells you very little.
Reviewing several simulated sessions may reveal patterns.
For example:
- Do most losses happen after your first losing trade?
- Do you trade larger after a profit?
- Do you take too many trades during sideways periods?
- Do you exit profitable positions too quickly?
- Do you keep increasing the stop-loss?
- Are some times of the day consistently difficult for you?
The Simulator can help you notice patterns that may otherwise remain hidden.
Sometimes You May Want to Start Fresh
There may be situations where you want to clear your existing simulated trading history and begin again with a clean record.
BRBStox provides a Clear History feature for this purpose.
Clear History is a paid feature.
The applicable price will be displayed before you confirm the request.
Once trading history is cleared, the affected information is not recoverable.
Use this feature only when you are certain that you no longer need the existing simulated trade records.
Your Trading History Is Part of Your Practice Record
Clearing it is an intentional account action that removes historical simulated-trading information and resets the relevant records according to the platform rules.
Charging separately for this feature also encourages users to review their past decisions rather than repeatedly deleting losing sessions.
The applicable fee will always be shown before confirmation.
Do Not Turn the Simulator Into a Game
The Trading Simulator becomes more useful when each session has an objective.
Try practising one thing at a time.
Entry Practice
Focus only on waiting for your exact setup.
Stop-Loss Practice
Place the stop according to the setup and do not widen it after entering.
Position-Sizing Practice
Use consistent sizing rules instead of changing quantity according to confidence.
Exit Practice
Study whether you exit too quickly or continue holding after the setup has failed.
Options Practice
Work on strike selection, multi-leg positions and basket management.
Discipline Practice
Follow the trading rules you decided before the session began.
No-Revenge-Trading Practice
After a losing trade, wait for the next genuine setup rather than trying to recover the loss immediately.
More Trades Do Not Always Mean More Practice
Where a daily simulated trade limit applies, it is designed to encourage selectivity.
A limited number of trades forces you to ask:
Is this setup worth using one of my trades?
That can be more useful than placing dozens of random simulated orders.
The Same Trading Features. A Different Market Experience.
Market Replay includes all trading features available in the Trading Simulator.
The difference is how the market session progresses.
Trading Simulator
The simulated session moves according to the platform clock.
You:
- Watch the market progress
- Wait for setups to develop
- React as prices change
- Place and manage trades
- Cannot control the session clock in the same way as Market Replay
The Simulator is useful when you want to practice responding to a continuously moving simulated market.
Start Free 3-Day TrialMarket Replay
You choose an available historical session and control how it progresses.
You can:
- Pause
- Resume
- Speed up
- Slow down
- Move through the historical session at your own pace
This makes Market Replay particularly useful for practising after work, during evenings or on weekends.
Start Free 3-Day TrialPracticing Execution Is Different From Testing a Strategy
Backtesting Lab
How has this strategy performed historically?
You define or select a strategy, pattern or set of trading rules and test it across multiple historical opportunities.
You then study statistics such as:
- Number of trades
- Winning and losing trades
- Win rate
- Profitability
- Drawdown
- Strategy consistency
- Trade-by-trade performance
Trading Simulator
Can I follow my process while the market is moving?
You make each trading decision yourself.
You have to:
- Wait
- Analyze
- Enter
- Manage risk
- Exit
- Control behaviour
Backtesting helps you test the strategy.
The Trading Simulator helps you practice execution.
