Getting started

Build your first portfolio the right way

Start with clean transaction data, confirm the numbers, then use the evaluator to understand concentration, risk, cash level, and next actions.

Clean holdings

Transactions create better cost, cash, tax, and performance history than a simple holding list.

Useful analysis

The evaluator works best when ticker, quantity, price, currency, and fees are correct.

Reliable routine

Once the base is right, later buys, sells, reports, and reviews stay organized.

Tutorial path

Five steps from empty account to useful portfolio

1

Create the portfolio

Sign in, open Portfolio, create a new portfolio, choose a clear name, set risk level, and select your display currency.

Good names: Long-term account, ASK portfolio, Dividend account.
2

Add holdings as transactions

Add each buy with the real transaction date, ticker, quantity, price, currency, and broker fee. Use separate rows for separate purchases.

This gives AKSJENET enough context for cost, cash, performance, and tax views.
3

Check the overview

Compare the portfolio value, ticker quantities, currency conversion, sectors, and allocation charts against your broker account.

If something looks wrong, check ticker spelling, quantity, price, date, and currency first.
4

Run the evaluator

Open the evaluator to review score, confidence, exposure plan, concentration, holding quality, and market context.

Use the output as structured decision support, not as automatic trading instructions.
5

Keep it current

Add new buys and sells when they happen, record fees, review cash entries, and rerun analysis after meaningful changes.

The portfolio becomes more valuable as history builds up.
Before you start

Have this ready

  • Broker account or transaction export
  • Correct tickers and exchanges
  • Transaction dates
  • Quantity, price, currency, and fees
  • Portfolio risk level and display currency
Avoid these mistakes

Data issues that create confusing results

  • Using the wrong ticker for stocks listed on more than one exchange.
  • Entering total trade value as price per share.
  • Forgetting the transaction currency.
  • Combining several purchases into one average-price transaction when accurate history matters.
  • Ignoring small fees that explain differences between AKSJENET and broker totals.
Good first goal

Create a usable portfolio in one focused session

Add your largest holdings first, confirm the total value, then run the evaluator. You can add older details later to improve history and tax accuracy.
