The Best E-Trade Portfolio Tracker: 50+ Features Beyond Power E-Trade
Your money stays at E-Trade. Stock Unlock adds the analytics layer for smarter portfolio decisions.
No credit card required. Supports eligible E-Trade connections, including many IRAs and brokerage accounts.
E-Trade Frustrations Are Real
According to discussions on Bogleheads, Reddit, and investor forums, these issues have been reported for years. If any sound familiar, you're not alone.
Gains and Losses Screen Shows Wrong Numbers
Investors often want a more consistent, portfolio-level performance workflow than basic gain/loss snapshots. Stock Unlock centralizes returns analysis with multiple return methodologies and cross-account context.
Cost Basis Errors and Misapplication
E-Trade has applied wrong cost basis (including someone else's split), used FIFO despite users selecting specific lots, set cost basis to $0, and failed to enter cost basis for transferred securities. Corrections take months.
Limited built-in dividend forecasting and income projection
Users cannot project future dividend income or see accrued dividends before payment. Finding past dividend income requires navigating to Transaction History, applying filters, and manually calculating totals.
Limited built-in stock scoring system
E-Trade provides third-party analyst reports (Morgan Stanley, Argus, Refinitiv) but no built-in multi-factor scoring across valuation, profitability, financial health, growth, dividends, or management quality. Users must read multiple reports and synthesize a view manually.
Limited built-in unified multi-broker view
While Total Wealth View aggregates dollar values via Yodlee, it cannot calculate combined performance, unified allocation breakdowns, or cross-account analytics. It shows numbers, not insights.
Erratic Portfolio Numbers Since Morgan Stanley Merger
E-Trade is trading-first and does not focus on deep portfolio analytics. An independent tracker gives you a dedicated analytics layer for long-term monitoring and decision support.

- Money-weighted return (see your actual dollar gains)
- Returns with and without dividends reinvested
- And more in the live demo →
Portfolio Health at a Glance
Most imported holdings in your E-Trade account get a Stock Score: visual indicators across 7 categories. Spot overvalued stocks, dividend risks, and quality issues before they become problems.
- Valuation, Profitability, Financial Health, Growth

How It Works (And What It Costs)
Unlike most platforms that make you pay before connecting, we let you try everything first.
Create a free account
Sign up with your email. No credit card required. You immediately get access to our free tier: watchlists, limited stock analysis, and manual portfolio tracking.
Connect E-Trade for free
Click "Connect Brokerage" and select E-Trade. You'll authenticate securely via SnapTrade. Your credentials never touch our servers. This is free to do.
Get 15 days of automatic syncing
Your holdings, transactions, and dividends sync automatically for 15 days. Full access to all features. See exactly what you'd get as a paying subscriber.
Your data stays with you forever
After 15 days, automatic syncing pauses, but your portfolio data stays. You can continue tracking manually for free, or upgrade to Pro ($9/month) to keep auto-sync running.
Why We Do It This Way
Most portfolio trackers want your credit card before you connect a brokerage. We're confident enough in our product that we flip that model. Connect first, see the value, then decide if it's worth $9/month to you. We have a 30-day money-back guarantee too.
