Shown in the video, not on this still ## Where it is ScreenDashboardBasic The account row at the top of the Dashboard: a green "Signed in to 5paisa" button when the session is active, an amber "Sign in to 5paisa" when it has expired. On a phone the title row says "5paisa active" or "5paisa expired". The app lists every RupeeCase index; each has its own page. [See all 18 in one table](/strategies/#sxTable). ## What it means RupeeCase places Live orders through your broker session, and brokers ask for a fresh login every trading day (a 5paisa session ends at midnight). Expired reads "5paisa session has expired. Sign in before placing live orders." Sign in to 5paisa takes you to the broker's own login and back. If an order needs the broker while the session has expired, the app shows "Sign in required: Your 5paisa session has expired." with Sign in now, or the task stops and the portfolio reads Needs attention. ## The formula Active = a broker login from today. The invest sheet lists only brokers with an active session for Live. As computed in the RupeeCase app`5paisa: active only on the day you signed in (India time) Expired: amber Sign in to 5paisa; a Live task that meets it stops (Needs attention) After signing in: Resume the stopped task` ## Worked example Example only * Signed in at 9:30 on Monday: active all Monday * Tuesday 9:25: the row reads 5paisa session has expired * Sign in to 5paisa, then Resume Monday's stopped task ## How to read it * Green "Signed in to 5paisa" can be tapped to refresh the session. * "Only brokers with active sessions are shown for live mode" on the invest sheet. * Practice needs no broker session. ## Watch out * A Live investment can be accepted and then stop in the background if the session has expired; check the Dashboard after. * Sign in on the broker's own page only; RupeeCase never asks for your broker password. * After signing in, a stopped task does not restart by itself; tap Resume. ## Transcript Tap Sound on for voice and music.
