About My Trading Story
🦜 "Shoulda bought… shoulda sold… shoulda!"
Tired of regret? It's 2026 — and you've just slipped back to May 2012.
The Shoulda Parrot is on your shoulder, your savings are in your pocket,
and 14 years of real-world markets are waiting to be played differently.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
▶︎ A real time-slip, not a fantasy
You wake up at your old desk on May 1, 2012. Bitcoin still costs cents.
Korean tech giants are mid-companies. The Shoulda Parrot — your retired
self in feathered form — squawks advice. This time, the past is yours to
trade.
▶︎ Trade 700+ stocks & cryptocurrencies
• Korean equities, US large caps, crypto, FX, and commodities
• 14 years of real historical price + volume data, day by day
• Order books with partial fills based on real daily volume
• Auto-applied dividends and stock splits
• Favorites, search, and category filters — find the names you remember
▶︎ Live an actual life, not a spreadsheet
• Get a salary every month. Pay rent and groceries.
• 2013, 2017, 2019 — kids are born. Bills go up.
• Random events drain your cash. Year-end capital gains tax bites.
• This is a portfolio sim with a life simulator wrapped around it.
▶︎ Portfolio & ledger at a glance
• Pie chart of every asset class you hold
• Per-stock cost basis, P/L, and unrealized gains
• Month-by-month ledger of income and spending
• Auto-save every month — no anxiety about losing progress
▶︎ Global leaderboard
• Your 14-year final net worth uploads to a cloud ranking
• Compare your alt-history with players around the world
• "Shoulda bought…" only counts if you can prove it
▶︎ Lovingly hand-drawn pixel art
A retro-2010s living room, an office, the family TV. Every prop drawn
one pixel at a time by a solo developer. No filler, no asset packs.
