Getting started

With Stock Control, you can easily manage all your securities and investments.

The program provides a complete overview of your investments and provides you with an overview of how your securities perform over a long period of time.

        Depot

A depot is like a bank account with your broker. You can transfer money there and trade securities with this account.

         Create a new depot

A depot can be created with the context menu in the tree view or from the top menu bar. A depot name (portfolio name) may only appear once at a time.

        Delete an existing vault

A depot can be deleted with the context menu in the tree view or from the top menu bar. However, a depot can only be deleted if all portfolios have been deleted beforehand. Before the depot is deleted, a menu appears with which you can save the old files, if this is not desired, this backup can simply be skipped with Cancel

        Portfolio

A portfolio represents a trading strategy within a depot. These different portfolios can later be used to examine the performance of individual trading strategies. A custody account usually consists of at least one portfolio, but it can also contain several portfolios.

        Create a new portfolio

A portfolio can be created with the context menu in the tree view or from the top menu bar. A portfolio (depot name) may only appear once at a time.

        Delete an existing portfolio

A depot can be deleted with the context menu in the tree view or from the top menu bar. However, a depot can only be deleted if all portfolios have been deleted beforehand. Before the depot is deleted, a menu appears with which you can save the old files, if this is not desired, this backup can simply be skipped with Cancel.

        Security Info

When you install the program, a small selection of securities is already created as securities information. Before you can enter a specific order using the program, the respective security must be available in the Info tab. If the information about the security being traded is available, an order can be created. If the information is not available, it must be added.

        Creating an Order

When creating a new order from the context menu or from the menu bar, you can now select a security to be traded from a list of previously created security information.

The usual parameters are then entered here; more information can be found in the Order chapter.
