Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Quantic is free for personal use. We rely on third-party APIs that cost real money (stock data), so heavy automated use may be rate-limited — but everyday investing is free.

No broker connection required. You enter your holdings manually or import dividend transactions from a file your broker exports. Your broker credentials never leave your hands.

Yes. Click "Try a sample portfolio" on the home page to explore a demo account seeded with realistic data — it's the real app, so everything works. No signup, no email; demo accounts expire after 24 hours.

Your Portfolio is what you actually own — quantities, average prices, real value. Your Radar is your watchlist — stocks you're tracking with optional target prices. The same stock can be in both.

Go to Portfolio, enter the symbol, quantity and average price, and click Add. You can edit the position later or remove it entirely.

Yes. Each holding stays in its listing currency. Set a preferred currency in Settings and we convert per-currency totals into a single display total using FX rates.

Yield on Cost = annual dividend per share ÷ your average purchase price × 100. It measures the yield you locked in when you bought, regardless of what the share price has done since.

Your personal buy threshold for a stock — the price at which you'd consider adding it. Set it on a Radar stock and we'll show the gap to the current price to flag opportunities.

We average the target prices set by all users tracking the same stock. To protect individual targets, we only show the average once at least 3 users have set one.

A 0–10 score summarizing a stock's dividend health: yield, payout (dividend/earnings), P/E, price vs its 200-day average, and payment regularity. 8+ is "Strong", 5–7 "Fair", below that "Weak".

Yes. On the Dividends page, upload your broker statement; we parse it, show you a preview, and you confirm before anything is saved.

Currently Interactive Brokers and MyInvestor (Spain). Adding a new broker means writing a small parser — open a GitHub issue with a sample file and we'll consider it.

Add dividends manually on the Dividends page. Or open a GitHub issue requesting a parser for your broker — include a sample file.

You can opt in to share your portfolio (percentage allocations + sectors) and/or your radar (watchlist + target prices) under a public slug, and the Community page aggregates what everyone shares. Amounts are never published.

Anyone with the URL. Shared pages are publicly accessible without an account. Don't share if you're not comfortable with that — it's opt-in for exactly this reason.

Settings → Sharing → uncheck the toggle for the surface you want to stop sharing. The data disappears from the public pages immediately.

Stock prices, dividends, ex-div dates, and fundamentals come from Yahoo Finance (with Alpha Vantage as a fallback). Quotes are cached for a few minutes to stay within free-tier limits.

Best-effort. Third-party APIs occasionally serve stale or wrong data, especially on the day of an ex-dividend or right after a split. Always verify against your broker's official statement before acting.

No. Quantic has no advertising, no third-party analytics tracking, and no data sales. We're a one-developer side project, not a data company.
