I will just list some necessary things to get started, which had been explained in the previous articles. You will need:

KYC Details

If you want to trade shares online, go to the brokerage firm and get your KYC updated. You have to fill-up the form of the KYC. This is compulsory for anyone that wants to trade online. Or else you have to go to the broker to trade every single time.

Investor’s Account

Once your KYC gets verified, the broker will then open a Trading Management System (TMS). You will receive your username and password in the email. The brokerage firm will provide you with the TMS login URL. This URL will get you through the NEPSE Online Trading System (NOTS). Each broker has a unique URL.

Reset Password

Reset the password before use, for this open the URL and click on the forget password and then enter your username given by the Broker and your email address. You will get a link in your email to reset your password. Make sure your password is of length 7-14 with at least 1 caps, 1 digit and 1 special character to make it secured.

Login into your TMS account

Now you have changed your password, log in to the account by entering a username password and the captcha. After you log in, you can see the NEPSE TMS Dashboard.
