PocketGE Flip Tracker — RuneLite Plugin

Name: PocketGE Flip Tracker
Author: PocketGE

Now on the RuneLite Plugin Hub — search "PocketGE" in RuneLite and hit install. A free, open-source plugin that tracks your Grand Exchange flips as they actually fill, works out profit after the 2% tax automatically, and puts PocketGE's live price charts one right-click away from any item mentioned in your chat.

What it does

Live flip trackingWatches every GE offer slot for incremental fills (partial fills included) and matches sells against earlier buys FIFO, per item — no manual logging.

Profit after taxBooks every completed flip with the same 2% GE tax math as the website, so session profit is what you actually keep.

In-game price auto-fillWhen you open a buy or sell offer for a favorited item, the plugin's suggested price and quantity can fill straight into the GE prompt for you to confirm.

Favorites & breakout alertsA sidebar favorites list mirrors your PocketGE favorites, with a pulsing border when an item is testing its true 5-day high or low.

Chat → chart, one right-clickRight-click a chat message where someone mentions an item ("selling feathers", "buying whip") and jump straight to that item's live PocketGE chart.

Flip advisorOpt-in, off by default. Suggests buys sized to the cash you actually have, sells for stacks already in your bank — priced against your tracked buy price, not just today's market — and nudges when a listed offer has drifted off the market.

Session stats & portfolioProfit over a window you pick (session, 1h, 1d, all time), unrealized profit on open buy lots, ROI, gp/hour, and a portfolio total across cash, bank, inventory, worn gear and anything tied up in open offers.

History that survives logoutLifetime P/L, flip history and open buy lots are saved through RuneLite's own config, so a buy today still books the right profit when you sell it next week.

Bank & inventory highlightingItems the advisor has a live call on get a coloured border and a profit badge drawn on the slot itself — gold for a buy candidate, teal for a sell — so you can dig through your bank without cross-referencing the panel.

Local-only website bridgeOpt-in bridge on 127.0.0.1 lets pocketge.com, open in your own browser, mirror your live flips and favorites — that data never leaves your machine.

One network call, and only if you turn the advisor on: live prices from the public OSRS Wiki price API, the same source this website uses. Every other feature runs entirely offline, and the plugin never sees your account.

Every profit number the plugin shows uses the exact same tax rule as PocketGE: 2% of the sale price, rounded down, capped at 5,000,000 gp per item, with under-50 gp sales and a few exempt items (like the bond) excluded. What you see is what you keep.

How to install it

PocketGE Flip Tracker is live on the official RuneLite Plugin Hub. It installs from inside the client — nothing to download, nothing to build:

Open RuneLite and click the wrench icon to open the Configuration panel.
Click Plugin Hub.
Search for PocketGE, then hit Install on PocketGE Flip Tracker.

The plugin's panel appears in your RuneLite sidebar straight away, and updates arrive through the Plugin Hub like any other plugin. Everything is off by default except the flip tracking itself — the advisor, the overlay and the website bridge are each opt-in from the plugin's settings.

If you would rather build it yourself, or just read exactly what it does before installing, the full source is at github.com/grant9008/pocketge-flip-tracker.

Linking it to pocketge.com

The bridge is off by default — it is the one thing you have to switch on yourself, and it is the reason the website shows nothing for most people who have just installed the plugin. It takes about twenty seconds.

Open the plugin's settings. In the PocketGE panel in your RuneLite sidebar, click the ⚙ cog in the top corner. (RuneLite's own wrench → PocketGE Flip Tracker gets you to the same settings.)
Scroll to “Website link” and tick “Local website bridge”. This starts a tiny server on your own machine, bound to 127.0.0.1, which only a browser on this same computer can reach. Nothing is uploaded and no account exists on either side.
Read the “Bridge port” number underneath it. It is 8477 unless you have changed it. If something else on your machine already uses that port, or you run two clients, set it to anything from 1024 to 65535 — just remember the number.
Open Flip history on this computer. If the port is still 8477, it connects on its own and your ledger appears. If you changed it, the page will say it found nothing and offer a Bridge port box — type the same number in and press Connect.
Check it took. Back in the plugin panel, the Website link section reads ● Website tab linked while a PocketGE tab is open on this machine. In the terminal, open Bank of Gielinor and your portfolio, session profit and Favorites are live.

Both numbers have to match — the one in the plugin and the one the browser is knocking on. That is the whole of the setup; there is no key to paste, no login, and nothing to register.

What the panel shows you

One tab in the RuneLite sidebar, not four. Top to bottom:

Stats header: Profit over a window you pick — session, 1h, 4h, 12h, 1d, 1w, 1m or all time — next to unrealized profit on the buy lots you are still holding, ROI, gp per hour, and a portfolio total across cash, bank, inventory, worn gear and anything sitting in open offers.
Recommended flip: A single row: item icon, name, an Analyst Rating from Strong Buy to Strong Sell, and profit per unit. How often it re-checks and how thin a market it will suggest live behind a settings cog, so the panel leads with the number rather than the knobs.
Favorites: A local watchlist with live price and the move against today's typical price. Star anything from a suggestion or a history row.
Flip history: Paginated, every completed flip, profit already net of the 2% tax. Saved through RuneLite's own config, so a buy today still books the right profit when you sell it next week.

Two halves of the same tool

The website is where you decide: five years of history, volume profile, scanners, the levels worth placing an offer at. The plugin is where you find out whether you were right — it watches the offers actually fill and books the result with the same tax math, so the profit it reports is the profit you keep.

They work fine apart. Neither needs an account, and neither has one to give. Turn on the bridge and the pair line up: your in-game flips show up in the terminal's Bank of Gielinor panel, and any favourites list whose name matches one in game is live-linked in the sidebar.

FAQ

How do I install the PocketGE Flip Tracker plugin?

It is on the official RuneLite Plugin Hub, so it installs from inside the client: open RuneLite's Configuration panel (the wrench), click Plugin Hub, search for PocketGE and hit Install. There is nothing to download and nothing to build.

Is the PocketGE RuneLite plugin safe to use?

Yes, and it is open source so you can check. It reads your own Grand Exchange offer events inside the RuneLite client — it never reads your password, never touches your account credentials, and never places or confirms a trade for you. The only thing it ever writes is the price and quantity in a GE offer box, which you still confirm yourself. The optional website bridge serves data to 127.0.0.1 only (your own machine).

Does the PocketGE plugin cost anything?

No — it's free and open source.

What does the PocketGE Flip Tracker plugin do?

It watches your Grand Exchange offers as they fill (including partial fills), matches sells against earlier buys FIFO per item, and books completed flips with profit after the 2% GE tax. A sidebar panel shows profit over a window you choose, unrealized profit on open lots, ROI, gp per hour and a portfolio total across cash, bank, inventory, worn gear and open offers. An optional advisor suggests buys sized to your cash and sells for stacks you already hold, priced against your own tracked buy price.

Can I search PocketGE from in-game chat?

Yes. Right-click a chat line mentioning an item and choose "Search PocketGE for <item>" to jump straight to that item's live chart.
