Frequently asked questions

How do I start investing in the Pakistan Stock Exchange?

Open a brokerage account with a broker on PSX's list of licensed TREC holders — a Sahulat account needs only your CNIC, for balances up to Rs 3 million. The broker opens a CDC sub-account in your name, where your shares are held. Deposit money, then place a limit or market order in the broker's app. PSX settles trades on T+1, the next working day.

What is the KSE-100?

The KSE-100 is the Pakistan Stock Exchange's main index. It tracks 100 listed companies weighted by free-float market capitalisation, and it includes the largest company of each sector. PSX started it at 1,000 points in November 1991.

Are these lessons free?

Yes. Every lesson and every chart they link to is free, with no account. Each track ends on a live PSX chart in SuperX Charts, so you can try what you read on real data.

Which track should I read first?

Start with "Get started on the PSX" if you have no account yet, or with "How the PSX works" if you already have one. Read a chart and the indicator tracks are for when you want to use the chart terminal.

Will SuperX tell me which stocks to buy?

No. SuperX teaches how the market works and shows the facts — prices, dividends, financials, events — with their dates. The decision is always yours. Beware of anyone who sells tips: the lesson on tip-group scams shows how they work.
