Getting started

Is Quantic free?

Yes. Quantic is free for personal use. We rely on third-party APIs that cost real money (stock data), so heavy automated use may be rate-limited — but everyday investing is free.

Do I need to connect my broker?

No broker connection required. You enter your holdings manually or import dividend transactions from a file your broker exports. Your broker credentials never leave your hands.

Can I try Quantic without signing up?

Yes. Click "Try a sample portfolio" on the home page to explore a demo account seeded with realistic data — it's the real app, so everything works. No signup, no email; demo accounts expire after 24 hours.

What's the difference between Portfolio and Radar?

Your Portfolio is what you actually own — quantities, average prices, real value. Your Radar is your watchlist — stocks you're tracking with optional target prices. The same stock can be in both.

Can I install Quantic as an app on my phone?

Yes — Quantic is a Progressive Web App (PWA), so you can add it to your home screen and run it full-screen, no app store needed. On Android (Chrome): tap the "Install" banner when it appears, or open the ⋮ menu and choose "Install app" / "Add to Home screen". On iPhone/iPad (Safari): tap the Share button, then "Add to Home Screen". It then launches like a native app, with its own icon. Make sure you're on https://quantic.finance in your browser first.

Portfolio & Radar

How do I add a holding?

Go to Portfolio, enter the symbol, quantity and average price, and click Add. You can edit the position later or remove it entirely.

Can I track stocks in multiple currencies?

Yes. Each holding stays in its listing currency. Set a preferred currency in Settings and we convert per-currency totals into a single display total using FX rates.

What does "Yield on Cost" mean?

Yield on Cost = annual dividend per share ÷ your average purchase price × 100. It measures the yield you locked in when you bought, regardless of what the share price has done since.

What's a target price?

Your personal buy threshold for a stock — the price at which you'd consider adding it. Set it on a Radar stock and we'll show the gap to the current price to flag opportunities.

Where does the "community average target" come from?

We average the target prices set by all users tracking the same stock. To protect individual targets, we only show the average once at least 3 users have set one.

What does the dividend score mean?

A 0–10 score summarizing a stock's dividend health: yield, payout (dividend/earnings), P/E, price vs its 200-day average, and payment regularity. 8+ is "Strong", 5–7 "Fair", below that "Weak".

How do I find new dividend stocks?

Use the Screener: filter the dividend universe by yield, growth, increase streak, leverage, sector and more, then add the matches straight to your radar. It's the front of the funnel — screen, then compare, then track. For a more visual browse, fly through the dividend galaxy and tap any star to explore that stock.

Can I compare stocks side by side?

Yes — open Compare (or the Compare button on any stock page) to put 2–4 dividend stocks next to each other across every metric, including each one's snowflake overview and our dividend score and safety read.

Dividends

Can I import dividends from my broker?

Yes. On the Dividends page, upload your broker statement; we parse it, show you a preview, and you confirm before anything is saved.

Which brokers does the import support?

Currently Interactive Brokers and MyInvestor (Spain). Adding a new broker means writing a small parser — email us a sample file at info@quantic.es and we'll consider it.

What if my broker isn't supported?

Add dividends manually on the Dividends page. Or email us at info@quantic.es to request a parser for your broker — include a sample file.

Does Quantic show upcoming ex-dividend dates?

Yes. The Dividends page lists ex-dividend dates for the next 14 days — your holdings first (with an estimated payment based on your shares), then radar-only stocks. The same view appears on your dashboard, and the Telegram daily digest covers the next 7 days.

Planning & projections

What is Path to Freedom?

A dividend-FIRE projector (the Freedom page). You set a monthly income goal in today's money, and it estimates when your growing dividend income will cover that goal — your "freedom date" — and how long your capital lasts afterwards. Layer in monthly contributions, expected yield, inflation and other savings, and it recalculates live, with milestones and what-if levers like "+1% yield".

What is the Buy Plan?

A ranked shortlist (the Buy plan page) of stocks from your portfolio and radar, scored on how interesting each looks to buy right now — dividend quality and growth, how far below your target or average cost it sits, whether it's underweight, or whether it fills a gap in your dividend calendar. Tune the weights, build a cart, and record the purchases at your own prices. It never places real orders.

What is the income outlook?

A card on the Dividends page that projects your forward dividend income: the expected annual income at the current rate, your income-weighted dividend growth, and a multi-year projection you can compound with a DRIP (reinvest dividends) toggle. It also highlights your fastest-growing holdings and longest growth streaks, plus a 12-month calendar of when income is expected to land. It's an estimate from current data, not a guarantee.

What does dividend CAGR mean?

CAGR is the compound annual growth rate — the steady yearly pace at which a company's dividend has grown over a period. Quantic shows the 5-year and 3-year dividend CAGR on stock cards, computed from the payment history, and uses the 5-year figure (smoother than a single year) to project your future income and to rank growth in the Buy plan.

What is a dividend aristocrat?

A company that has raised its dividend every year for at least 25 consecutive years — a sign of durable, shareholder-friendly payouts. Quantic tracks each stock's dividend growth streak (consecutive years of increases) and marks holdings that clear the 25-year bar with a gold aristocrat badge. A cut or a frozen year ends the streak.

AI assistant

What can the AI assistant do?

"Ask Quantic" is a chat assistant (the button in the bottom-right corner) that answers questions about your own portfolio, radar and dividends — like "What's my biggest holding?", "Which dividends land this month?", or "What do you think of KO?". It's portfolio-aware, so answers use your real data rather than generic advice.

Which AI model powers it, and is there a limit?

It runs on Google Gemini. To keep costs sane, each account gets 5 AI requests per day, resetting at midnight UTC. Portfolio and Radar insights are cached for a few hours, so you can still see the latest ones even after reaching the limit.

What are AI insights and stock summaries?

Beyond the chat, Quantic generates a short AI overview of your Portfolio and Radar (observations, strengths, risk flags) and a factual two-to-three sentence summary with key points for individual stocks. They share the same daily AI quota.

Does the AI give financial advice?

No. It analyses your data and explains what's there, but it won't tell you what to buy or sell, predict prices, or give tax advice — and Quantic isn't a financial adviser. Always do your own research.

Can I use my own AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini…) with Quantic?

Yes. Quantic offers a read-only connector (an MCP server) you can add to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or any compatible assistant. In your assistant, add a custom connector with the URL https://quantic.finance/mcp and choose "Log in with Quantic". It can then answer questions about your holdings, valuation, dividends, movements and radar — using your real data. Some clients also accept a personal token from Settings instead of logging in.

Is connecting my AI assistant safe?

Yes. Access is read-only — an assistant can read your data but never change your account. You sign in with the same secure login as the website (no password is ever shared with the assistant), every request is scoped to your own account, and you can disconnect any assistant at any time from Settings → AI agent access.

Telegram

What does the Telegram bot do?

Once connected, the Quantic bot answers the same portfolio questions as the in-app assistant, straight from Telegram — and it can send a daily digest each morning with upcoming ex-dividend dates, dividends you received the day before, and any stocks that have dropped to your target price.

How do I connect Telegram?

Go to Settings → Telegram and tap "Open Telegram bot". That deep-links to the bot with a one-time code that links your account. Disconnect any time with /unlink. The daily digest is opt-in — toggle it in Settings or with /notifications on|off.

What's in the daily digest?

Upcoming ex-dividends for the next 7 days (your holdings first, with estimated payments, then radar-only stocks), dividends received the previous day, and target-price alerts when a watched stock dips to your buy threshold. Each target alert is throttled to once a week per stock, so you're not spammed.

Community

What is the Community?

You can opt in to share your portfolio (percentage allocations + sectors) and/or your radar (watchlist + target prices) under a public slug, and the Community page aggregates what everyone shares. Amounts are never published.

Who can see my shared portfolio?

Anyone with the URL. Shared pages are publicly accessible without an account. Don't share if you're not comfortable with that — it's opt-in for exactly this reason.

How do I stop sharing?

Settings → Sharing → uncheck the toggle for the surface you want to stop sharing. The data disappears from the public pages immediately.

What is the dividend galaxy?

A flyable 3D galaxy where every star is a stock the community tracks — sized by market cap, coloured by its dividend score, with a planet for each holder. It's a fun way to discover new dividend stocks: fly around, hover a star to see its details, and tap it to open its page. It's built from aggregate counts only — no names or amounts.

Data & privacy

Where does stock data come from?

Stock prices, dividends, ex-div dates, and fundamentals come from Yahoo Finance (with Alpha Vantage as a fallback). Quotes are cached for a few minutes to stay within free-tier limits.

How accurate is the data?

Best-effort. Third-party APIs occasionally serve stale or wrong data, especially on the day of an ex-dividend or right after a split. Always verify against your broker's official statement before acting.

Do you sell my data?

No. Quantic has no advertising, no third-party analytics tracking, and no data sales. We're a one-developer side project, not a data company.
