is options and futures simulation is available on this platform ?
No, Futures and options simulations are not available on Moneybhai. It’s oriented for cash-based transactions.
I think simulation with options and futures would be good because this is one of the component with which people really needs to understand about gamma , Teeta and delta and all. It would be good if you could come up with the same.

That’s little bit of grey area from legal point of view. We have gaming apps like dream11 working perfectly fine in India, so stock gaming app should work too.
