An options trading simulator built on recorded market data

Each option chain here was recorded from the market, every five minutes during trading hours, rather than calculated from a pricing formula. You see the premiums and open interest as they stood at that moment, and you only see candles that had already closed, so you decide without knowing what came next.

Frequently asked questions

Is OptionChainPractice free?

Yes. The simulator is free to use and you can start without signing in. Signing in with Google is optional and keeps your results linked to your account.

Is any real money involved?

No. Every trade uses virtual money and no real orders are placed. It is an educational simulator, not a broker.

Are the option prices real?

Yes. The premiums were recorded from the live market every five minutes during trading hours. They are not calculated from a pricing formula. Trades fill at the last traded price recorded at that step, which can be stale in thinly traded strikes.

Which indices can I practise?

NIFTY 50, BANK NIFTY, FIN NIFTY and MIDCAP SELECT. The date picker shows the days available for each one, and the history grows every trading day.

How is my profit and loss calculated?

Open positions are valued at the recorded premium for each step. At expiry they settle at intrinsic value using the index's closing price. Brokerage, taxes, margin and slippage are not included, so real results would differ.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The chain, chart and positions each get their own tab on a mobile screen.
