The first time you start StockMarketEye, 1 Portfolio and 3 Watchlists are automatically created for you.

  • Portfolios
    • My 401k - A Portfolio to track the holdings of your 401(k).
  • Watchlists
    • Indexes - A Watchlist of important market indexes. It has been pre-populated with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the NASDAQ Composite, the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 2000 Index.
    • Overweight - An example Watchlist of stocks that you rate as "Overweight".
    • Underweight - An example Watchlist of stocks that you rate as "Underwieght".

You may decide to keep these Portfolios and Watchlists, rename them or even delete them completely.

Portfolios, Watchlists and Charts

StockMarketEye helps you keep your eye on the market through Portfolios, Watchlists and Charts.

  • A Portfolio is a collection of assets. In StockMarketEye, an asset is an investment in a stock, mutual fund, exchange traded fund (ETF) or cash. The value of each asset in a portfolio is determined by the asset's current market price multiplied by the number of shares owned. The Portfolio's value is the total of all of its asset values.

    Use Portfolios to track the performance of your investments.

  • A Watchlist is a collection of securities such as stocks, mutual funds, ETFs or currency pairs. Each security in a Watchlist has a starting "watch" price ("Watch Start"). This is the base-line price from which the Watchlist will track the price movement of the security.

    Use Watchlists to help keep your eye on the market.

  • A Stock Chart graphically depicts the historical prices of a security. You can view a security's chart by clicking on the security in your Watchlist or Portfolio. The historical price chart will then be displayed in the chart area.

    Use Stock Charts to gain perspective on market movement.
