Test ideas without risking a penny — Mock Trade & Scenario Lab (open source)

Before you buy/sell, preview the impact. Our Mock Trade & Scenario Lab lets you model positions side-by-side with your real portfolio — no paywall, no broker hookup.

Why it matters

  • Zero-risk exploration: Add/remove positions or tweak size/price; see P/L and exposure change instantly.
  • Separated totals: Mock trades never pollute your real P/L.
  • Fast iteration: Works on any device; price fallbacks keep numbers reliable.

60-second path

1) Open the app (guest mode works): https://www.pocketportfolio.app/app?utm_source=devto&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=mocklab

2) Click Add Mock Trade, e.g., TSLA +2 @ $260.

3) Watch P/L update; toggle ideas until you like the shape.

4) Need feedback? Screenshot and drop it below — we’ll sanity-check the scenario.

Help wanted (good first issues)

Question: What scenario would you model first (hedge, rebalance, or new idea)?
