Automatic Stock Price Lookup: A New Way to Log Trades Faster in EquityStat

EquityStat’s stock portfolio tracker now fills in the price of a stock automatically whenever you add a new investment or log a transaction, so you no longer have to look up the exact price of a stock on a specific day by hand.

How Automatic Stock Price Entry Works

When you enter a new stock, ETF, or add a transaction to an investment you already track, EquityStat pulls the closing price, or the current price if the market is still open, for that exact date and places it in the Price field for you. You do not have to search another site or dig through old statements to find the number.

If the price shown is not the one you actually paid or received, you can simply type over it. The automatic price is a starting point, not a requirement.

Why This Feature Matters for Investors

Many investors do not remember the exact price they paid for a stock, months or years earlier. This feature was built for that exact situation. If you know you bought Apple stock on January 12, 2023 but cannot recall the price, EquityStat fills in the closing price from that date, $134.56, without any extra effort on your part. If your actual purchase price was different, you can adjust it in seconds.

This makes it much easier to keep an accurate, up to date portfolio tracker, even when you are recording trades after the fact or catching up on transactions from earlier in the year.

Look Up Historical Stock Prices in Seconds

The same feature also works as a quick way to check what a stock was trading for on any past date. Select the stock, enter the date, and the price appears immediately. This is useful for confirming cost basis, checking historical performance, or simply satisfying curiosity about how a stock has moved over time.

Start Tracking Your Portfolio More Efficiently

Automatic price entry is one more way EquityStat helps investors manage their stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, and other holdings without unnecessary manual work.
