How To Analyze Your Virtual Portfolio Analysis?
Step 1: First, you will need to create an account on trendlyne.com. Then, add the list of your favorite stocks to the Watchlist. This website provides a free portfolio analysis tool.
Step 2: To add stocks, click "Watchlist" from the menu.
Step 3: There you will see the "Add Index/Stock" input box. You can type the names of stocks and add any stock to the Watchlist by typing the company’s name.
I suggest that you should have no more than 20 or even fewer than 15 stocks in your Watchlist. This way, you avoid over-diversification or over-concentration mistakes.
Step 4: After adding all stocks to your Watchlist, you will see a button labeled "Buy On STARFOLIO." Click on it.
