The Best Qtrade Direct Investing Portfolio Tracker: 50+ Features Beyond Portfolio Score

Your money stays at Qtrade Direct Investing. Stock Unlock adds the analytics layer for smarter portfolio decisions.

No credit card required. Supports eligible Qtrade Direct Investing connections, including many TFSA and non-registered accounts.

Where Qtrade's Portfolio Tools Fall Short

Qtrade Direct Investing is a well-regarded Canadian brokerage with a genuinely useful portfolio analytics suite. Many investors still want deeper, ongoing portfolio analytics than the native tools provide.

Portfolio Score grades a snapshot, not your day-to-day performance

Qtrade's Portfolio Score gives your portfolio a grade on six dimensions, from downside protection and diversification to income, fees, and ESG. It is a useful check-in, but it is not a dedicated performance tracker. Stock Unlock tracks time-weighted and money-weighted returns continuously, accounting for every deposit and withdrawal.

Dividend income is easier to look up than to forecast

Qtrade shows the dividends you have already received. Stock Unlock projects the next 12 months of income by month across your holdings, with 35+ years of payout history and sustainability checks for each stock, so your income plan is built on more than last quarter's statement.

CAD and USD accounts, plus other brokerages, in one picture

Qtrade lets you hold Canadian and US dollar accounts side by side, but its tools are built around what sits at Qtrade. Stock Unlock rolls both currencies into one portfolio view and combines Qtrade with Questrade, Wealthsimple, or any of 30+ brokerages, so total return and allocation reflect everything you own.

Consistent analytics workflow across devices

Qtrade's tools are spread across multiple surfaces. Stock Unlock keeps your analytics workflow consistent across iOS, Android, and desktop browsers so you can review the same signals anywhere.

How It Works (And What It Costs)

Unlike most platforms that make you pay before connecting, we let you try everything first.

1

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.

2

Connect Qtrade for free

Click "Connect Brokerage" and select Qtrade Direct Investing. You'll authenticate securely via SnapTrade. Your credentials never touch our servers. This is free to do.

3

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.

4

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Stock Unlock work with my Qtrade Direct Investing accounts?
Stock Unlock supports eligible Qtrade Direct Investing accounts exposed through the secure connection flow. In most cases, this includes TFSA and non-registered accounts; other registered accounts may not be exposed by the connection. Account availability can vary by connection and brokerage data permissions. You'll see connected accounts in one unified dashboard alongside any other brokerages you connect.
Is it safe to connect my Qtrade Direct Investing account?
Yes. We use SnapTrade for secure authentication. Your brokerage credentials are never stored on Stock Unlock servers. We receive read-only access to holdings and transactions, and we cannot execute trades or move money. You can revoke access anytime. SnapTrade is SOC 2 Type II certified with bank-level encryption.

The free account is genuinely free. No credit card, no catches. You get manual portfolio tracking, watchlists, and basic stock analysis forever. When you connect Qtrade Direct Investing, you also get 15 days of automatic syncing at no cost. After that, your data stays with you. Upgrade to Pro ($9/month) only if you want to keep auto-sync running.

Can I track Qtrade Direct Investing alongside other brokerages?
Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons people use Stock Unlock. Connect Qtrade Direct Investing, Questrade, Wealthsimple, Interactive Brokers, or any of 30+ brokerages and see everything in one Combined Portfolio view. You get the safety and reliability of established brokerages while using a modern platform that actually shows you the full picture: total net worth, true asset allocation, opportunities, and risks across your linked accounts.
How often does my Qtrade Direct Investing portfolio sync?
Your Qtrade Direct Investing portfolio syncs automatically while your connection is active. Timing depends on brokerage data availability and trade settlement windows.
Is Stock Unlock a brokerage?
No. We're a portfolio tracking and analysis platform, not a brokerage. Brokerages profit when you trade. We pay the bills through optional premium features that help you research better. This means our tools are designed to help you make informed decisions, not encourage unnecessary trading. Read our story to learn why we built this and why we keep prices low.
Can I disconnect my Qtrade Direct Investing account later?
Yes. Simply delete the portfolio in Stock Unlock and the connection is removed with it. You have full control over your account and data at all times, and you can reconnect later if you change your mind.
What if I don't want to connect my brokerage?
No problem. You can upload your holdings via CSV or enter them manually. You still get all the same portfolio analytics, dividend tracking, and Stock Scores. The brokerage connection just saves you from manual data entry.
How much Qtrade Direct Investing transaction history does Stock Unlock import?
When you connect Qtrade Direct Investing, SnapTrade (the brokerage-data aggregator we use) provides up to 1 year of transaction history, and Stock Unlock imports the full window it makes available, along with your current holdings. That history powers time-weighted performance tracking based on your actual trades. Want more history? You can add older transactions manually or via CSV import.
