Question 1

What is StockRomeo?

Accepted Answer

StockRomeo is a financial education and market-learning platform for the Indian stock market. It combines structured courses, a market glossary, live-style market education, charts, and a risk-free paper trading simulator so you can learn how markets work and practise before ever risking real money.

Question 2

Is StockRomeo a broker or SEBI-registered advisor?

Accepted Answer

No. StockRomeo is not a stockbroker and not a SEBI-registered investment advisor. We do not execute real trades, hold your money, or give personalised buy/sell recommendations. To trade real money you need a demat and trading account with a SEBI-registered broker. Everything on StockRomeo is educational.

Question 3

Can I learn on StockRomeo for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Academy lessons, glossary, market education, and paper trading simulator are built to help you learn the fundamentals at no cost. Signing in lets us save your learning progress and quiz scores across devices.

Question 4

Do I need an account to browse educational content?

Accepted Answer

No. You can read Academy articles, the glossary, and general market education without an account. An account is only needed for personal features like saved progress, watchlists, and your private paper-trading records.

Question 5

Where do I start if I am a complete beginner?

Accepted Answer

Start with the Stock Market Fundamentals course in the Academy — it covers what a stock is, how exchanges work, indices, orders, and risk in twelve short lessons with quizzes. From there, move to Technical Analysis, Fundamental Analysis, and finally Futures & Options as your confidence grows.

Question 6

Does StockRomeo track my learning progress?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you are signed in, completed lessons, quiz scores, and time spent are saved so you can pick up where you left off and see how far you have come across the curriculum.

Question 7

What is a demat account?

Accepted Answer

A demat (dematerialised) account holds your shares electronically instead of as paper certificates. It works together with a trading account, which is what you use to place buy and sell orders. You open both with a SEBI-registered broker.

Question 8

Is the market data on StockRomeo live?

Accepted Answer

Only when a screen explicitly says LIVE and is powered by a licensed real-time source. Otherwise data may be DELAYED, HISTORICAL, SIMULATED, or DEMO, and each screen is labelled accordingly. We never present demo or simulated data as live.

Question 9

Why can market data be delayed?

Accepted Answer

Real-time exchange data requires a licensed market-data feed. Where a licensed live source is not connected, we show delayed or demo data and label it clearly, rather than misrepresenting its freshness. Delays of up to 15 minutes are common for non-licensed data.

Question 10

What is Nifty Brain?

Accepted Answer

Nifty Brain is StockRomeo's educational market-analysis feature that explains what may be influencing the Nifty 50 — global cues, FII/DII flows, volatility, sector rotation, and technical structure — and separates factual data from interpretation.

Question 11

Is Nifty Brain financial advice or a guaranteed prediction?

Accepted Answer

No. Nifty Brain is an educational analysis tool, not advice and not a guaranteed forecast. Markets are driven by many unpredictable factors, so any interpretation can be wrong. Never treat it as a signal to buy or sell.

Question 12

What is paper trading?

Accepted Answer

Paper trading is practising buying and selling with virtual money instead of real cash. It lets you test strategies, learn order types, and build discipline with zero financial risk. StockRomeo's simulator is clearly marked as simulated — no real orders are ever placed.

Question 13

Are paper trades the same as real trades?

Accepted Answer

No. Paper trades are simulated for learning only. They do not affect real markets, are not executed with a broker, and do not involve real money, real profits, or real losses.

Question 14

What is KYC and why is it sometimes required?

Accepted Answer

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a regulatory identity-verification process. On StockRomeo, learning and most features do not require KYC. It is only requested for features that genuinely need verified identity, in line with applicable regulations. Your learning is never blocked while KYC is pending.

Question 15

What happens while my KYC is pending?

Accepted Answer

You can keep using the Academy, glossary, market education, paper trading, and your dashboard normally. Your KYC status screen clearly shows what is pending and what, if anything, requires completed verification. You will never be trapped on a blank or broken page.

Question 16

How do I reset my password?

Accepted Answer

Use the "Forgot password" link on the sign-in page. We will email you a secure link to set a new password. For your security, the link expires after a short time.

Question 17

What is an option?

Accepted Answer

An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (a call) or sell (a put) an underlying asset at a fixed strike price before expiry, in exchange for a premium. Options can be used to speculate or to hedge, and carry real risk. Learn more in the F&O course.

Question 18

What are futures?

Accepted Answer

A futures contract obliges both parties to buy or sell an asset at a fixed price on a future date. Futures use leverage, so a small margin controls a large position — which magnifies both gains and losses. They are covered in depth in the F&O course.

Question 19

What is risk management and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Risk management is the set of habits that protect your capital: sizing positions sensibly, using stop-losses, controlling leverage, and diversifying. It matters because avoiding large losses is what keeps you in the game long enough to let good decisions compound.
