Follow assets and import holdings

Build the list your research uses, import a holdings snapshot, and distinguish following from automatic checks.

Add something to follow#

  1. Open Following from the sidebar.
  2. Use Add something to follow, enter a ticker and choose Follow. A bare six-digit code is treated as a KRX listing.
  3. Open a row's menu and choose Open asset page to inspect its saved facts, recent changes and Watch for choices.
  4. Use Stop following in the row menu to remove it from the followed list.

You can also ask Bot to follow an asset. Specify the market when you know it. Following is shared across all your Loupists. Each Loupist selects its own Watch-for checks.

Import holdings#

  1. Choose Import holdings… in Following, or Import holdings (CSV)… in Bot's setup checklist.
  2. Under Your holdings, select Stocks and funds, Crypto or Wallets.
  3. For stocks, use File (CSV) or a configured Korea Investment connection. For crypto, choose Exchange file or a read-only wallet address.
  4. Review the file preview and its row errors before choosing Import. Correct errors or choose another file if needed.

Crypto file import accepts balances, not a trade history. Your columns lets you identify asset and balance columns when needed. The preview displays quantities for checking; later research receives identities, not those quantities or values.

Refresh context#

A successful import replaces the previous snapshot from that source. Other sources remain: importing a crypto file does not replace stock holdings. Following shows counts and dates so you can see which import is current.

The Map marks matched names as followed or held. Unmatched entries remain visible as unmatched rather than inventing a connection. Holdings are research context, not target allocations or orders.

Wallet addresses#

Add only a public address, never a recovery phrase or private key. Public explorers receive the address to read balances. A failed read keeps the last good snapshot. Up to ten wallet addresses are supported.
