First time
1
Open the paste dialog
Select Add holdings on the Set up card on Home. It opens the Positions page with a paste dialog. On an empty Positions page, Paste or upload does the same.
2
Paste a list or choose a file
Paste a list, one holding per line, symbol then shares, or choose a CSV file.

Save
This records what you hold and moves no cash.
Reconcile later
To reconcile many holdings later, use CSV import on the Positions page. That import settles each row against your recorded cash at the row’s price, the way Add position does. With Allow shorts on, a negative count in the shares column imports as a short, and shorts are recorded first so their proceeds can pay for the longs in the same file. With Allow shorts off, a negative count is refused.Export
The Positions page can also export your holdings as a CSV. Theprice column holds the latest quote Allocait has stored for the symbol, with no as-of date, and is blank when there is none. Importing the file settles cash at that number.
