Portfolio Tracker

Your holdings, watched on autopilot, reported on a schedule.

Helps AI watch your investments on autopilot — logging holdings and watchlist changes over time, writing periodic research reports with bull/bear cases, and alerting when your own thresholds break. For long-term holders who want analysis without the day-trading noise.

Portfolio Tracker

When to use

  • You hold a dozen stocks and can't keep up with the news on all of them every week
  • You keep a watchlist of companies you might buy and want to hear about them only when something matters
  • You want a regular, structured look at your portfolio — performance, news, and risk — without paying for a research subscription
  • You've set yourself risk limits but never actually check whether they've been breached
  • You keep a running investment journal and want it updated from real data, not memory

Workflow

Hook up the data source — an official broker MCP or API — and verify the permission is read-only before anything else. The connection must be able to see holdings but unable to trade. This is a hard gate: no read-only, no tracker.

  1. Connect in read-only (input: brokerage account or data feed → output: confirmed read-only connection)

List current holdings (ticker, position size, entry date, entry price) and the watchlist with why each name is on it. Snapshot everything into a log file the first run — that baseline is what every future comparison runs against.

  1. Define what you hold and what you watch (input: positions + watchlist → output: tracking sheet)

Write the lines you care about: "alert me if any position drops 15% from entry," "flag if a holding falls below its 200-day average," "tell me about insider selling over $1M." These are yours to set, not the AI's — it enforces them, it doesn't choose them.

  1. Set your risk lines (input: your risk tolerance → output: alert thresholds)

On a cadence you pick (weekly or twice-weekly works), the AI pulls fresh prices and news for holdings and watchlist, then writes a report: per-name news summary, the bull case and bear case in plain words, scenario notes, and which thresholds broke. One real case runs this twice a week across 15 tickers.

  1. Run the research pass on schedule (input: tracking sheet + fresh news/prices → output: research report)

Every run appends to the journal: date, prices, what changed, what was flagged. You read the report and make every buy and sell decision yourself. The tracker never recommends a trade — it shows you what happened and what's near your lines.

  1. Log everything, decide yourself (input: research report → output: updated investment journal)

Output spec

  • One research report per run: per-holding news, bull/bear case, scenario notes, threshold flags
  • A running investment journal: dated entries with prices and changes, readable months later
  • Alerts only when YOUR thresholds break — no noise, no "stock of the day" upsells
  • Numbers dated and sourced: every price carries its date, every news item its source and date
  • Companion template.md tracking sheet — holdings, watchlist, thresholds i
