The live app
Fifteen seconds inside Poshkan
Paper accounts across three markets, profit and loss moving in real time, Strategy Lab activity and the leaderboard. No narration, no mock-ups — this is the product as it runs.
Strategy Lab
Write the rule. Let the market answer.
State an idea as explicit entry, exit and risk rules — or start from one of six built-in strategies and change what you disagree with. Poshkan replays the rules over completed candles, then runs them forward on a paper account so you can see which part of the idea actually held.
01
Define rules
Candle patterns, indicators, symbols and timeframe. No code.
02
Set risk
Stop, target, maximum holding time and risk per trade.
03
Backtest
Replay the rules on history, with trading costs applied.
04
Observe
Follow it forward on paper and see where it breaks down.
Scanners
Rules that watch the market while you sleep
Point a scanner at a watchlist and decide what happens when the setup appears: alert you, or open the paper position itself. Risk per trade, maximum position size and a daily loss limit are hard caps — the scanner stops when they are hit.
- Alert-only, or auto-trade inside your limits
- Push and email when a rule matches or an order fills
- Every scanner explains its own logic before you enable it
Your record
Every trade gets graded
Poshkan keeps the score a demo account never shows you: win rate, profit factor, expectancy per trade, how many exits were stops and how many were you changing your mind.
Leaderboard
Ranked by percentage return, not by deposits
Every account is scored on percentage return on the money put into it, at live prices. Seeding an account with a million virtual dollars buys nothing but a bigger denominator. Reset your history whenever you like — the rank resets with it.
“The most complete and easy-to-use platform I've found for practicing trading and honestly evaluating my skills.”
“The scanners are the best part — set one loose on your watchlist and experimenting with strategies becomes the whole game.”
Why not just use a broker's demo?
Fair question. There are three usual ways to practise, and each of them stops somewhere.
| Poshkan | Broker demo | Course simulator | Signal group | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Markets | US stocks, crypto and forex in one account | Whatever that one broker sells | Usually stocks only | Whatever gets called out |
| Your own rules | Built from candles and indicators, no code | Not supported | Not supported | Someone else's, unexplained |
| Risk limits | Per trade, per position and per day — enforced | Your discretion | None | None |
| What it's built for | Practice, and finding out what your idea does | Turning you into a funded customer | Coursework | Following someone else |

Poshkan installs like a real app — home-screen icon, full screen, and a push when an order fills or an alert hits.
