Looking for how the market works rather than the app? The Learn guides cover NEPSE, IPOs and tax.
- Add a stock to your watchlistYour watchlist keeps the stocks you follow one tap away, with live prices every time you open Punji. You can add a stock three ways: from search, by tapping the star on any stock list, or from the watchlist screen. Here is each.
- Manage what a stock notifies you aboutOnce a stock is on your watchlist, tap its star again to choose exactly what Punji notifies you about: big price moves, key dates, and more, or mute it entirely. Each toggle is per stock, so you stay in control.
- Track a holding in your portfolioAdd a stock you own to see its live value, profit and loss, and all-time return. Open Portfolio, add a holding manually, pick the stock, enter your shares and buy price, and save. Punji then tracks it against the live market.
- Set a price alertGet notified when a stock crosses a price you choose. Open Alerts, tap +, pick whether the price should go above or fall below your target, enter the target, and create the alert. Punji notifies you when it triggers.
- Backtest a monthly investmentSee how investing a fixed amount every month in one stock would have performed. Enter a symbol and a monthly amount, then run the backtest. Punji shows the returns, units bought, and average cost over time.
- Calculate buy cost and feesWork out the true cost of a trade before you place it. Open the calculator, enter the number of shares and your buy price, and Punji instantly shows the total cost, broker commission, SEBON and DP fees, and your breakeven price.
- Compare stocks side by sideLine up a few stocks to compare their price, returns, and fundamentals at a glance. Open Compare, tap Add stock, and pick the securities you want. Punji shows them side by side so differences are easy to spot.
- Analyze a stock chartOpen any stock, expand its chart to full screen, and layer on technical indicators. Add moving averages, RSI, MACD, Stochastic or ATR, tune their parameters, and read momentum and trend without leaving Punji.
- Post in the communityShare ideas with other Punji traders, and reply to any post. Type @admin in a comment to tag a moderator when you need help or want to report something. The first time you post, you accept the community guidelines and choose how you appear: your sign-in name and photo, or only your @handle.
- Place a trade in the ArenaThe Arena lets you practice trading with virtual money at live market prices, with no real cash at risk. Choose Buy or Sell, pick a stock, enter a quantity and price, and place the order. Your virtual portfolio and rank update as prices move.
- Check your IPO allotmentFind out whether your IPO application was allotted, on the day the result is published rather than the day after. Open IPO results, pick the issue, tap Check, and enter the code CDSC shows you. Punji reads the official result for each of your accounts and shows allotted or not, with the number of units.
- Import holdings from MeroShareConnect your MeroShare account once and Punji imports your real holdings automatically, with no manual entry. Add the account with your MeroShare login, then run a sync from Portfolio. Your credentials stay encrypted on your device.
- Release shares you have sold (EDIS)When you sell shares, they still have to be released from your demat on the same day, in MeroShare, with your transaction PIN. Open Share Transfers in Punji to see whether any of your accounts has something waiting today, then release it in MeroShare under Transfer Shares.
- Apply a bonus share to your portfolioWhen a company you hold closes its book for a bonus issue, Punji works out how many shares you earned and offers to add them. Open notifications, read the card, and tap Apply. Your quantity goes up, your total cost does not, and you can undo it the same day.
- Find stocks near their yearly highPrice Action keeps ready-made lists of what the market is doing right now, including every stock trading within 10% of its highest price of the past year. Search for Price Action, open the Near yearly high tile, and read the ranked list. Each row says how far below that high the stock is, with a coloured dot for its move today.
- Invite a friendShare your invite code with someone new to Punji, or send it to their email address. They get 3 ad-free days as soon as they use it, and once they have been using Punji for a week you both get 7 more. Your account needs to be 30 days old with a verified email before you can invite.
