How to record reinvested dividends

Reinvested dividends aren't recorded automatically. If you want to record shares you received through reinvestment, you may follow: 

  1. Open Edit all transactions and find an empty row. Refer to: To open all transactions
  2. Enter these values:
    • Date: the date the dividend was reinvested
    • Ticker: the stock that paid the dividend
    • Shares: the number of shares acquired through reinvestment
    • Transaction Type: Buy
    • Price: [0.0001]
  3. Select Save.
Note: Currently, the system doesn't allow you to input a price of 0. Using 0.0001 ensures the system accepts the transaction and reflects the new shares without distorting your returns or total portfolio value significantly.
