Activities are the atomic events that drive your portfolio: every trade, dividend, deposit, fee, and adjustment. This guide covers how to add them, edit them, and use the subtypes that handle DRIP, staking, transfers, and option expiry cleanly.

For the conceptual model (what each type does to cash and holdings), see Activity Types.

---

1 · Add an activity manually

1. Activities in the sidebar → + Add Manually in the top right.
2. Pick the category (Trade, Cash, Income, Transfer, Adjustment).
3. Pick the type (BUY, SELL, DIVIDEND, etc.) and, where available, the subtype.
4. Fill the form. Required fields are marked.
5. Add Activity.

The form adapts to the activity type. You only see the fields that matter (no unitPrice on a DEPOSIT, no amount on a plain BUY).

Inline edit on the activities list

For quick fixes, toggle the grid icon in the top-right of the activities list. Click any cell to edit; ✓ to save, ✗ to cancel. Useful for backfilling a missing fee or correcting a quantity without opening the full edit sheet.

2 · Subactivities

Some activity types have subtypes that handle a multi-step real-world event with one record. Wealthfolio expands them under the hood so cash and holdings update correctly.

DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment)

Use DIVIDEND → subtype DRIP. Wealthfolio records:

• The dividend income (cash in, then cash out for the purchase; net zero on cash).
• A new lot opened at the DRIP price for the reinvested shares.

Staking Reward

Use INTEREST → subtype Staking Reward. Wealthfolio records:

• The interest income at the token’s value on that date.
• The token acquisition (new lot opened) for the reward amount.

Dividend in Kind

Use DIVIDEND → subtype Dividend in Kind. For spin-offs and stock dividends. Wealthfolio opens a lot in the new security at the cost basis you provide (from your broker’s notice).

Option Expiry

Use ADJUSTMENT → subtype Option Expiry. Closes the option lot to zero and realizes the premium paid as a loss. No cash changes hands.

Credit subtypes (Bonus, Trading Rebate, Fee Refund)

Use CREDIT with the matching subtype. The subtype controls whether the credit counts as new capital (Bonus) or as a cost reduction (Rebate / Refund).

3 · Transfers between accounts

Cash and securities transfers between Wealthfolio accounts use a pair of activities:

1. TRANSFER_OUT on the source account: specify the symbol (or $CASH-<CCY>) and quantity / amount.
2. TRANSFER_IN on the destination account: same symbol and quantity / amount.

For securities transfers, the destination account inherits the source’s cost basis, so your gain/loss math stays correct. See How Transfers Work.

Same-day TRANSFER_OUT → TRANSFER_IN gotcha

If both activities are dated the same day, give the OUT an earlier timestamp than the IN. Otherwise Wealthfolio may try to credit the destination before the lot exists on the source side, and the OUT will silently fail to close any shares.

In the manual form: use the time field, not just the date. In CSV: include the time in the date column (2025-03-15T09:30:00).

Transferring from / to external accounts

If the other side isn’t a Wealthfolio account, check the External flag on the transfer form. The activity records a one-sided cash or asset move from / to an untracked source.

• External TRANSFER_IN: seeds a position or cash from outside Wealthfolio. Provide the cost basis your broker reported. Useful for opening balances, gifts, inheritances, RSUs.
• External TRANSFER_OUT: removes a position or cash without recording a sale. Lots are closed via FIFO with no gain realised. Useful for crypto sent to a wallet you don’t track, or writing off a worthless position.

Transferring between two Wealthfolio accounts

Leave the External flag unchecked and pick the counterparty account. Wealthfolio creates the matching TRANSFER_OUT / TRANSFER_IN pair and preserves the original cost basis on the receiving side.

4 · Activity statuses

Each activity has a status that controls how it’s used in calculations:

The Connect importer uses Pending for activities that arrive partially specified. Fix them up in Wealthfolio and bump them to Posted to make them count.

---

5 · Bulk edit and delete

Select multiple rows from the activities list (checkboxes on the left), then use the bulk action menu:

• Change account: re-attribute the activities to a different account.
• Change status: set Posted / Pending / Draft / Void.
• Delete: removes the activities. Wealthfolio asks for confirmation first — the action is permanent, so double-check the selection before clicking.

Bulk-changing the type isn’t supported. Wealthfolio doesn’t know which fields to preserve.

6 · CSV import (summary)

The CSV import flow is a separate guide because there’s a lot to cover (broker recipes, column mapping, troubleshooting): see CSV Import.

The 30-second version:

1. Activities → Import → Drop CSV file.
2. Map columns and activity types.
3. Preview, confirm.

Mappings are saved per account; second import is one click.

date,symbol,quantity,activityType,unitPrice,currency,fee,amount
2024-01-01T15:02:36.329Z,MSFT,1,DIVIDEND,57.5,USD,0,57.5
2023-12-15T15:02:36.329Z,MSFT,30,BUY,368.60,USD,0,
2023-08-11T14:55:30.863Z,$CASH-USD,1,DEPOSIT,1,USD,0,600.03

About the amount field: for cash activities (DIVIDEND, DEPOSIT, WITHDRAWAL, TAX, FEE, INTEREST, TRANSFER_IN, TRANSFER_OUT), amount is mandatory. quantity and unitPrice are ignored.

---

7 · Editing and deleting

• Edit: click any activity in the list to open the edit sheet. Synced (Connect) activities can’t be edited directly. Add an ADJUSTMENT instead.
• Delete: click an activity → ⋯ menu → Delete. Wealthfolio asks for confirmation; deletion is permanent. If you want to keep the row but exclude it from calculations, set its Status to Void instead.
• Backdated activities: there’s no restriction on inserting activities into the past. Wealthfolio recalculates all balances forward from the inserted date.
