Get Started / 2 / Set Up Your Portfolio
AI Prompt:
I have uploaded a screenshot of a fictional brokerage account portfolio. I need you to extract the tickers and corresponding amounts of shares held in this portfolio for each ticker and output a CSV file with the following columns: "TICKER" and "AMOUNT". If there are exchange or country suffixes or prefixes attached to the ticker, remove them (eg: US.AAPL becomes AAPL). For cash holdings, the ticker name is formed is "TOTAL" followed by the currency abbreviation. For example, a cash amount of US Dollars would get the ticker "TOTAL USD".
Output a CSV file that I can download. Delete the screenshot afterwards.
🏆 Key Action Step: Create a New Portfolio using CSV Upload or Manual Entry Modes. Ideally, this portfolio should reflect your real-life holdings

Alternative Method: Portfolio Creation With Manual Entry Mode
Steps Shown in the Video
-
Select "Manual entry” (instead of CSV upload)
Click "Create Portfolio."
After creating the portfolio, edit mode activates automatically.
Use this mode to add and adjust assets one by one, similar to editing a spreadsheet.
All changes in Edit Mode add to the total; start from zero and build up.
-
Click to add an asset (e.g., search and select "SPY").
Set the amount or value (e.g., enter $10,000 value, which auto-calculates shares based on last price, such as 15 shares).
Edit the amount if needed (e.g., change to 18 shares; the value will update automatically).
Note: Edit mode is additive, so each addition or adjustment increases or decreases the total portfolio size;
-
Ensure the portfolio in the app matches your brokerage account.
Click "Save Changes" to finalize.
