Portfolios

A portfolio is where your agents run and where your holdings live. Every agent execution is tied to a portfolio, and you can track performance, positions and the agents working on it from a single page.

There are two types of portfolio:

  • Demo — a paper-trading wallet with virtual capital. Perfect to test ideas risk-free.
  • Real — an account linked to a connected broker (see Connections), synchronized automatically.

Creating a portfolio

From the Portfolios section, click Add portfolio and choose the type.

Demo portfolio

  • Name your portfolio.
  • Set the cash your agents can spend (defaults to $10,000).
  • Optionally seed holdings — add positions with a quantity and average price.
  • Or import an existing portfolio: upload a screenshot or a CSV / XLSX / PDF export from any broker, or copy a connected account. Obside detects the holdings for you to review.

Real portfolio

  • Pick your broker from the list of supported platforms.
  • Authorize the connection through the broker's secure portal.

Many broker connections are read-only: they let you read and monitor positions, but not place live orders. Live execution requires a trading-capable broker, a US/Canada residence and a Pro or Max plan. See Availability by region.


The portfolio page

The Portfolios section opens on an aggregated view — the total value of all your portfolios, with a per-portfolio breakdown. Each portfolio then has its own detail page, organized in tabs:

Overview

  • Portfolio value — an equity curve over time, with Value / PnL views and a Compare to a benchmark option to overlay an index or asset.
  • Weekly brief — your portfolio's week, decoded in a one-minute read (see below).
  • Allocation — a breakdown of your holdings, by asset or by class (crypto, stocks, ETFs, FX, indices, futures, commodities, cash).
  • Holdings — every position with its quantity, value, weight and P&L, plus a cash row. On demo portfolios you can add capital or adjust positions directly.
  • Active agents — the agents currently running on the portfolio, each with its exposure and P&L. You can add an agent or stop one from here.
  • Recent news — recently published articles that touch your positions, exposed sectors or countries.
  • Portfolio calendar — upcoming events affecting your holdings (earnings, dividends…).
  • Expected income — upcoming dividends and coupons over the next 12 months.

Exposure

A full breakdown of what your portfolio is really exposed to: sectors, geographies and asset classes — beyond the ticker list.

Orders

The orders and trades executed on the portfolio, filterable by agent.

Activity

A chronological log of what happened on the portfolio: trades, orders, agent activations, capital flows, notifications.


Weekly brief

Obside generates a weekly brief of each portfolio — how it moved and which holdings drove it, the news that actually mattered, and what's coming next week. It's delivered after the market week closes, with an optional email heads-up (see Notification channels).

  • On paid plans, the weekly brief is included — it doesn't consume credits.
  • On the Free plan, generating it draws from your credit balance.

You can also ask the chat for a custom recurring brief (different focus, frequency or notes) — it becomes an agent you fully control.


Sharing a portfolio

You can create a public link to a portfolio: anyone with the link can view it, no account needed. You choose what it shows — your real amounts, or percentages only (performance and allocation, no balance) — and whether the agents running on it are visible. You can also list it on your public profile, and revoke the link at any time.


Plans & limits

  • Portfolio monitoring (AI insights on your positions) is available on the Plus plan and above. See Pricing.
  • Demo portfolios are unlimited.
  • Real portfolios depend on your broker connections: 1 on Free, unlimited on paid plans.
