About

Money Watch

Features
Read full description

Money Watch is a trading terminal for your own portfolio. Amber on black, monospaced, dense β€” the screen a professional would want, for the money you actually own. MULTIPLE BOOKS Keep separate books for separate strategies, each in its own base currency, each with its own colour across every chart. Stocks, ETFs, funds, bonds, FX, crypto and real commodity futures live side by side, converted and consolidated. P&L THAT ADDS UP Day, unrealized and realized P&L per position, per book, and consolidated. Realized figures use FIFO lot matching with fees folded in β€” the same way your broker does it. Cumulative performance is reconstructed from your trades and real price history, so adding money never shows up as a gain. A REAL BLOTTER Every fill across every book, searchable by symbol, book, date or amount. Delete a trade and it stays for audit β€” excluded from positions but restorable any time. PRICE PROJECTIONS Fit an instrument against indices or any other instrument with ordinary least squares, drag scenario sliders, and read the projection cone with its confidence band. Server-computed technical readings (SMA, RSI, Stochastic, ADX, ATR) sit alongside. MARKET SCAN Zones for US, Europe, Asia, emerging and global markets, filtered by asset class, plus a live screener. Search any symbol, research it with charts, stats, news and a projection, then add it to a book. CSV IMPORT AND AUTO-SYNC A mapping wizard reads any broker's export β€” it sniffs the delimiter, guesses the columns, handles European decimals and day-first dates, and asks you to confirm each ticker. Point it at a folder and every new export you drop there is imported automatically, matched on trade ID or UTI so nothing is ever booked twice. Holdings your data provider doesn't cover can be tracked with rates you maintain yourself. YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE Portfolios and trades never leave your phone. The only thing that goes out is a market-data request. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Home screen widget Β· themes with adjustable type size Β· 10 languages Β· CSV export of trades and positions. MONEY WATCH PRO Unlimited books, factor-regression projections for every instrument, and faster quote refresh. The free tier includes one book and projections for its first instrument. Money Watch is an information tool, not financial advice. Market data may be delayed or inaccurate, and projections are statistical estimates from historical data, not forecasts. Trading involves risk of loss.
