Recording Transactions

Transactions are the building blocks of your portfolio history. They record all buy, sell, transfer, and other actions that affect your holdings.

Transactions are always associated with an Account.

You can add transactions manually or import them from a CSV file.

Importing Transactions​

When you have a large number of transactions, importing is usually much easier and faster.

For complete details, please see Importing Data.

Manually Adding Transactions​

To add a manual transaction, tap the account where the transaction should be recorded.

  • If this is a new holding, tap the + button in the top-right corner and create the holding first.
  • For an existing holding, tap the holding, then tap the + button in the top-right corner.

Enter the following fields:

  • Action: Usually BUY or SELL (see action types below for more options)
  • Quantity: Number of shares purchased or sold
  • Cost per unit: Price per share or unit
  • Date: Date and time of the transaction
  • Memo: Any additional notes or details about this transaction

Transaction Types​

Buy​

Purchase shares of a security. This increases your holding quantity.
For reinvested dividends, we recommend entering a Buy transaction with a cost per unit of zero.

Sell​

Sell shares of a security. This decreases your holding quantity.

Viewing Transactions​

You can view transactions either by holding or by account:

  • Tap a holding to see all transactions for that holding.
  • In the Holdings view, tap the "list" button in the top-right corner to see all transactions for that account.

Filtering Transactions​

You can filter transactions by type:

  • Incoming: Shows only buy and transfer-in transactions
  • Outgoing: Shows only sell and transfer-out transactions

Recording a Split​

To record a stock split (e.g., 2:1 split):

  • In the transaction list view for a holding, tap the Apply Split button in the top-right corner.
  • Enter the following:
    • Split from: Original number of shares (e.g., 1)
    • Split to: New number of shares (e.g., 2)
  • Optionally, specify the Split start date and Split end date. This is especially useful if you have already entered transactions after the split date using the new (post-split) price and want them to remain unchanged.
  • Tap APPLY SPLIT at the bottom of the screen. Your quantity will be adjusted automatically.

Transferring Transactions Between Accounts​

To move transactions from one account to another:

  • In the transaction list view for a holding, tap the Transfer button in the top-right corner.

  • On the next screen, select the Transfer type and the Receiving account.

  • A complete transfer moves all existing transactions for that holding from the current account to the receiving account.

  • A partial transfer creates a negative transaction (at average cost basis on the transfer date) in the source account and a matching positive transaction in the receiving account.

Deleting a Transaction​

  1. Select the transaction you want to remove
  2. Tap the Delete button (trash icon)
  3. Confirm the deletion
caution

Deleting a transaction will affect your holdings quantity and cost basis calculations. Use this option carefully.

Tips​

  • Record transactions as they occur for the most accurate tracking
  • Always include fees to ensure realistic cost basis calculations
  • Use the Memo field to document corporate actions or special circumstances
  • For historical data, prefer the import feature over manual entry
  • Review your transaction history regularly to catch any discrepancies
  • Record dividends on the payment date, not the ex-dividend date
