Paper trade the Dhaka Stock Exchange

The Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) is open for trading Sunday through Thursday from 10:00 AM to 2:15 PM Bangladesh Standard Time (BST). The market is closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and official Bangladesh public holidays. StockSimulatorBD enforces these exact market hours in real time.

The DSE trading schedule consists of: 1) Continuous Trading Session from 10:00 AM to 2:15 PM BST, and 2) Post-Closing Session from 2:15 PM to 2:30 PM BST (orders match at the day’s closing price only). Trading takes place Sunday through Thursday. DSE is closed on Fridays, Saturdays, and gazetted national holidays.

The Dhaka Stock Exchange is open tomorrow if tomorrow falls on a regular trading day (Sunday through Thursday) and is not a gazetted national or religious holiday in Bangladesh. Trading hours run from 10:00 AM to 2:15 PM BST.

A BO (Beneficiary Owner) account is an electronic share depository account maintained with CDBL (Central Depository Bangladesh Limited) through a registered DSE broker. You can open a BO account online from home using your NID, photo, bank cheque leaf, and nominee details. A BO account is required to trade real shares on the DSE, but not to practice on StockSimulatorBD.

To open a BO account online in Bangladesh, you need: 1) Your National ID (NID) card, 2) Passport-size digital photo, 3) Bank account cheque leaf or bank statement displaying the routing number, 4) Nominee NID and passport-size photo, and 5) Payment for the CDBL annual maintenance fee (৳450). Most top DSE brokers offer paperless submission.

Under BSEC regulations, an individual investor in Bangladesh can open a maximum of two BO accounts under their own name: one single account and one joint account. You can also open accounts across different brokerage houses, provided they link to your unique NID in CDBL.

The top DSE brokerage houses in Bangladesh include LankaBangla Securities, BRAC EPL Stock Brokerage, IDLC Securities, City Brokerage, and EBL Securities. Broker commissions typically range between 0.30% and 0.50% per trade. StockSimulatorBD simulates the standard exchange average of 0.40% commission on every order.

Yes. StockSimulatorBD is the dedicated stock market game and paper trading simulator built specifically for the Dhaka Stock Exchange. Registered users receive ৳10,000 in virtual trading currency to practice live DSE equity trades risk-free under authentic market hours, T+2/T+3 settlement, and 0.40% commission.

A circuit breaker is a regulatory price control mechanism set by BSEC that caps the maximum percentage a share price can rise or fall in a single day. A lower circuit is the minimum price a share can drop to, and an upper circuit is the maximum it can rise. Orders outside these circuit breaker limits cannot execute.

Yes. It is a trading simulator / fake trading simulator in the sense that every balance and trade is virtual, so you can practise without risking real money. It uses published DSE prices and realistic market hours, commission and T+2/T+3 settlement rules to make the practice useful.

StockSimulatorBD is a free paper trading simulator for the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE). You buy and sell real DSE listed shares using a virtual balance, under the same trading hours, settlement rules and commission the real market applies. It is an educational tool, not a brokerage.

Yes. Creating an account is free and every verified account starts with ৳10,000 of virtual balance. There is no subscription and no card required.

Yes. Prices come from published DSE market data and update during trading hours. Because the data is scraped from public sources it can lag or contain gaps, so it should never be treated as an official quote.

Many people search for it that way, and the practice loop does feel like a game. The difference is that the rules are not softened to make it fun. Trades are blocked outside market hours, commission is deducted, and settlement takes two or three trading days, because the point is to rehearse the real thing.

No. A BO account with a broker is required to trade real shares on the DSE, but not to use this simulator. Many people practise here first and open a BO account afterwards.

The Dhaka Stock Exchange trades Sunday to Thursday, from 10:00 to 14:15 Bangladesh time, and is closed on Friday, Saturday and public holidays. The simulator enforces the same schedule, so you cannot buy or sell outside it.

Settlement is the wait between buying shares and being able to sell them. Shares in categories A, B, G and N settle T+2, so they can be sold two trading days after purchase. Category Z shares settle T+3. The simulator enforces this per purchase and per category, counting only trading days, so shares bought on a Thursday stay locked until Monday (Tuesday for category Z).

No. The balance is virtual trading credit with no real world value. It cannot be withdrawn, redeemed for cash, transferred to another account or exchanged for anything outside the simulator.
