What it doesn&#8217;t show: benchmark comparisons, money-weighted returns (your return counting deposits), other brokers&#8217; accounts \u2014 and crypto, futures and spending live in separate silos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"lead-paragraph\">Robinhood made buying effortless \u2014 and <em>seeing<\/em> an afterthought. The app will happily show you a green number; whether that number means what you think it means is another story. Here&#8217;s what the free app genuinely shows, where it structurally stops, and what your real options are for tracking a Robinhood portfolio. Avex provides mathematical context, not investment advice.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"avex-key-takeaways\">\n  <h3>Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n  <ul>\n    <li>Robinhood&#8217;s free account has a real portfolio tracker \u2014 charts per holding and a portfolio-level return figure \u2014 but no benchmark comparison and no cross-broker view.<\/li>\n    <li>Cost basis can be challenging to track, especially after transferring securities in from other brokers or when wash sales occur.<\/li>\n    <li>Dedicated trackers and spreadsheets can show the fuller picture \u2014 including other brokers \u2014 at the cost of either money or time.<\/li>\n    <li>Robinhood is FINRA-regulated and SIPC-protected up to $500,000 \u2014 though crypto, futures and swaps sit outside that protection.<\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>Does Robinhood have a built-in portfolio tracker?<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Yes \u2014 but with structural gaps worth understanding before you trust it.<\/strong> A standard free brokerage account shows a portfolio chart on the Investing page: overall portfolio return in USD and percent for a given day, based on your Robinhood holdings. The daily-return baseline differs if you hold crypto: for securities, Robinhood uses the previous market close (4 pm ET) as the baseline; for crypto \u2014 tradable 24 hours \u2014 it uses the current day&#8217;s prices from 12 am in your time zone. Robinhood states that deposits, withdrawals and transfers are not counted in the portfolio return, which reflects investment performance rather than asset movements.<\/p>\n\n<p>Per holding, you can open a basic chart (line or candlestick) for stocks, ETFs and crypto \u2014 the line chart tracks the closing price over time, while candlesticks add open\/close\/high\/low detail per interval \u2014 or an advanced chart with customized intervals and technical indicators. Futures get basic charts only. Time spans run from one hour to five years for crypto, and from one day to MAX for stocks and ETFs.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Where the free tier stops:<\/strong> richer analysis \u2014 including benchmark comparison \u2014 belongs to Robinhood Strategies, a paid subscription. The free brokerage account offers no benchmark comparison and does not compute money-weighted rates of return (the return that accounts for your deposits and withdrawals). There is no cross-broker view, and crypto, futures and spending each live in their own silo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Where do I see my actual returns?<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>The portfolio chart on the Investing page is the closest thing \u2014 read it knowing what it leaves out.<\/strong> According to Robinhood, the chart reflects investment performance and does not account for deposits, withdrawals or transfers \u2014 closer in spirit to a time-weighted view than to the money-weighted return that shows what <em>your dollars<\/em> actually earned. Robinhood itself cautions that its charts &#8220;may not accurately take into account the impacts of \u2026 events relating to [an investor&#8217;s] account or portfolio such as charges, deposits, or withdrawals, and may in certain circumstances overstate or understate gains or losses.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>The following example illustrates how deposits can inflate the feeling of return \u2014 the distinction simple app graphs generally don&#8217;t make for you.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"avex-pro-tip\">\n  <strong class=\"label\">\ud83d\udd22 The deposit illusion (verified arithmetic)<\/strong>\n  <p>January: account worth $10,000. During the year you deposit $500\/month ($6,000 total). December: account worth $17,500. The feel-good math: &#8220;up $7,500 \u2014 that&#8217;s 75%!&#8221; The honest math: $6,000 of that was your own money; the investments earned $1,500 on an average balance of ~$13,000 \u2014 a return closer to <strong>11\u201312%<\/strong>. Same account, same year. The difference is whether deposits are counted as growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2>The cost basis problem<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Transfers in are where &#8220;the app says X, my records say Y&#8221; begins.<\/strong> Robinhood supports full and partial account transfers in via ACATS (with a reimbursement of up to $75 for transfers of $7,500 or more, per account type and brokerage). The outside brokerage has up to 15 calendar days after settlement to send your cost basis over \u2014 and for securities classed as <em>noncovered<\/em>, the IRS does not require adjusted basis or original acquisition dates to be transmitted at all. That&#8217;s how positions arrive with murky or missing basis.<\/p>\n\n<p>Wash sales add the second layer: the IRS disallows claiming losses from wash sales and requires the disallowed loss to be added to the cost of the newly acquired securities \u2014 an adjustment that complicates basis tracking further, and often lands only at year-end on the 1099.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Your options for tracking a Robinhood portfolio<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Three realistic paths: the app as-is, a spreadsheet, or a dedicated tracker<\/strong> \u2014 the trade-offs below are the short version, and our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/avexai.io\/blog\/how-to-track-investment-portfolio\/\">tracking an investment portfolio<\/a> covers the full system around them. The app is free, fast and fine for glancing at your Robinhood-only picture; it stops fitting when you want other brokers in the same view or more honest return data. Spreadsheets are free but cost time \u2014 right for investors who want a fully customized tracker and have the patience to build one. Dedicated trackers consolidate multiple brokers in one view, at a price. For investors concerned about privacy, <a href=\"https:\/\/avexai.io\/blog\/portfolio-tracker-without-linking-accounts\/\">tracking a portfolio without linking accounts<\/a> is a viable option too. (Our Fidelity portfolio tracker guide, coming next in this series, looks at how a full-service broker handles the same questions.)<\/p>\n\n<table class=\"avex-comparison-table\">\n  <tr><th>Capability<\/th><th>Robinhood app<\/th><th>Spreadsheet<\/th><th>Dedicated tracker<\/th><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Live prices &amp; headline P&amp;L<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><td>Manual\/delayed<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Returns vs deposits (money-weighted)<\/td><td>\u2715<\/td><td>\u2713 if built correctly<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Reliable lot-level cost basis<\/td><td>Partial (transfers\/wash sales)<\/td><td>\u2713 your records<\/td><td>\u2713 from your files<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Crypto &amp; futures in one view<\/td><td>\u2715 (separate silos)<\/td><td>\u2713 manually<\/td><td>Depends on tool<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Other brokers in the same view<\/td><td>\u2715<\/td><td>\u2713 with effort<\/td><td>\u2713<\/td><\/tr>\n  <tr><td>Cost<\/td><td>Free<\/td><td>Free + your time<\/td><td>Varies \/ early access<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2>Getting your data out<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Robinhood&#8217;s export is a report you commission, not a button you click.<\/strong> You can generate a customized account activity report covering all transactions across your brokerage and retirement accounts, downloadable as CSV \u2014 it takes anywhere from 2 to 24 hours to build, and it excludes crypto, futures and spending activity.
