Reviewing your portfolio and watchlist with Claude

Ask 'How is my portfolio doing?' and get live P&L, per-holding conviction, concentration risk, and flagged positions. Plus watchlist reviews and alert management from the same chat.

A portfolio review most people skip is worth less than a shallow one they actually run. Connecting Claude to your aftermarkets account makes the weekly review cheap enough to actually happen.

Prerequisites: a connected AI client and holdings in your aftermarkets portfolio (via broker sync or CSV upload).

The portfolio check

"How is my portfolio doing?"

One prompt pulls every holding with live P&L and per-stock conviction, and Claude reports back on:

  • Overall P&L: total value, total gain or loss, today's change
  • Winners and losers: what is carrying the portfolio and what is dragging it
  • Conviction check: the band and stance on each holding, with anything that has shifted bearish or weakened flagged
  • Concentration risk: whether you are overweight a sector or a single name
  • Action items: holdings showing warning signals (death cross, stretched RSI, bearish conviction shift) that deserve a closer look

You: How is my portfolio doing?

Claude: Up 2.1% overall this month, but two things need attention. IEX has slipped from Moderate Bullish to Weak Neutral over three weeks, and financials are now 41% of the portfolio after the recent bank rally, up from 32% at your last review...

The part a spreadsheet never tells you

Numbers above are illustrative.

The watchlist review

Your watchlist gets the same treatment:

  • "Review my watchlist" runs a conviction-focused pass over every symbol you track and surfaces the ones with the strongest converging signals
  • "Which watchlist stocks had unusual delivery volume this week?"
  • "Any filings from my watchlist companies in the last 3 days?"

And you can maintain the list without leaving the chat:

  • "Add JYOTICNC to my watchlist"
  • "Remove the stocks I've held on the watchlist for months with Weak conviction" (it will list them and confirm before removing)

Alerts from the same conversation

When a review turns up something worth tracking, set the tripwire immediately:

  • "Alert me if TATAPOWER closes below 380"
  • "Set a volume spike alert on my three smallest holdings"
  • "What alerts do I have active right now?"

Alerts created this way are the same alerts you manage on the Alerts page, and they deliver through your normal notification channels.

A weekly cadence that works

  1. Weekly: the full check

    Run the portfolio prompt once a week, same day, same time. Ask specifically about conviction changes since last week; direction of travel matters more than the level.

  2. Monthly: concentration and thesis

    Once a month, go deeper: "Show my sector exposure", then for each large position, "Has anything changed in the thesis for this holding? Check recent filings and events."

  3. Always: write down what you decided

    End each review by asking Claude to summarise the flagged items into a short list. Keep it. Next week, start by checking what you did about last week's list.

Frequently asked

Where does Claude get my holdings from?
From your aftermarkets portfolio. Sync a broker (Zerodha, Groww, Dhan, Angel One, or Upstox) or upload a holdings CSV on the Portfolio page first. Your API key links the conversation to your account.
Can Claude sell or rebalance for me?
No. The connection is read-only for holdings. It can flag positions and reason about concentration, but there is no trade execution of any kind.
Can it change my watchlist and alerts?
Yes, when you ask. It can add or remove watchlist symbols and create or delete price and signal alerts on your behalf. It never does this unprompted.
