Poshkan
Paper trading with strategy bots numbers that don't lie
Free trading simulator for US stocks, crypto & forex. Six strategy scanners watch your symbols 24/7 and paper-trade within your risk limits. Backtests charge spread & slippage, no look-ahead honest numbers so you learn what actually works.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built Poshkan because every trading simulator I tried made me feel like a genius — and that's a bug, not a feature. Ideal fills, no spread, backtests that peek at the future, deposits counted as "profit." Practice on flattering numbers and you learn exactly the wrong lesson.
So I built the simulator I wanted:
📊 Six strategy scanners (Smart Money Concepts, trend breakout, mean reversion, range trading, an ICT-style OTE engine, and an AI scanner) that watch your symbols around the clock and can paper-trade on their own inside risk limits you set — so you forward-test a strategy instead of trusting a backtest.
🔍 Deliberately conservative math: backtests charge spread + slippage on every trade, replays never see unclosed bars, a bar that touches both stop and target counts as a loss, and returns are time-weighted so adding virtual cash never looks like skill. Every mechanic is published at poshkan.com/how-it-works.
🔑 The AI scanner runs on your own Anthropic API key — I never bill you for AI, and every AI-proposed trade passes the same validation as any other signal.
It's completely free — no card, no broker connection, 100% virtual money. Works as a PWA on your phone.
I'd love your feedback, especially from anyone who trades: which scanner would you switch on first, and what would make the numbers more trustworthy? I'll be here all day answering everything. 🙏
The honesty about charging spread and slippage in backtests is refreshing, most simulators hide that and give you fantasy returns. Real numbers actually build real traders.
Tried it for a couple hours and the slippage in backtests caught my eye, usually these simulators pretend fills are free. Clean layout too, not overwhelming.
