In short
StackViewer connects to Wells Fargo's self-directed WellsTrade brokerage through SnapTrade using read-only OAuth. It imports your positions (including Stock Fractions), transaction history, cash balances and dividends, merges them with any other broker you hold — a Schwab or Fidelity account, say — into one portfolio, and then measures your true, fee-inclusive return and 15+ risk metrics. Connecting Wells Fargo is free, and no credit card is needed. One honest caveat up front: WellsTrade tends to be a buy-and-hold account with few closed trades, so the decision-level journal may have little to chew on until you have actually sold some positions.
What syncs from Wells Fargo
Positions
Every open holding in your WellsTrade brokerage or IRA — stocks, ETFs, mutual funds and money-market funds — with quantity, cost basis and current value. Stock Fractions positions (Wells Fargo's fractional-share holdings) come through as fractional quantities.
Trade history
Your buys and sells with dates, prices and quantities, so StackViewer can reconstruct realised gains and hold periods. History depth depends on what WellsTrade exposes through SnapTrade; older activity from before your account was migrated or opened may be partial.
Cash & balances
Settled cash and money-market sweep balances inside the WellsTrade account, so your allocation and cash drag are counted correctly rather than ignored.
Dividends
Dividend and interest payments that post to the brokerage account, feeding the combined dividend calendar and income view — including reinvested dividends where WellsTrade reports them as transactions.
What does not come across: your Wells Fargo bank accounts (checking, savings, credit cards) are out of scope — StackViewer connects the WellsTrade brokerage only. Advisor-directed and centrally managed advisory programs, order-status and price alerts, tax documents, and any assets held outside WellsTrade are not imported. If you hold both a self-directed WellsTrade account and an advisor-managed account under Wells Fargo Advisors, only the self-directed holdings sync.
Sync runs three times a day and position values refresh about every 30 minutes during market hours. StackViewer is not a real-time tool and is not built for day trading — which, for the typical WellsTrade holder, is rarely the point anyway.
What Wells Fargo's own reporting doesn't show you
WellsTrade is a bank-attached brokerage. Its strength is that everything sits behind a single sign-on next to your Wells Fargo checking account, and its own tools — the Stock, ETF and Mutual Fund Screeners, portfolio monitoring, price alerts — are built for choosing and watching holdings, not for grading the decisions you already made. What the WellsTrade app will happily tell you is what a position is worth today. What it will not tell you is your true time-weighted return once deposits, withdrawals and cash drag are stripped out, how your Wells Fargo holdings behave next to accounts at other brokers, or whether a mutual fund you have held for years is actually pulling its weight on a risk-adjusted basis.
That gap matters most for exactly the kind of investor WellsTrade attracts: older, larger-balance, conservative, and holding for years rather than weeks. StackViewer answers the questions the broker's dashboard skips — Sharpe, Sortino, Alpha, Beta, Max Drawdown and Value at Risk across the whole portfolio, not one account at a time. Be aware of the flip side, though: the behavioural layer — the reason/conviction/emotion tags, the entry-and-exit grading — needs closed trades to work on. A WellsTrade account that has made three sells in five years will get a rich risk and allocation picture but a thin trading journal, and we would rather say that plainly than oversell it. If you are a long-term holder, treat StackViewer here as a performance-and-risk tracker first and a journal second.
Also use Schwab?
Plenty of WellsTrade holders keep a second, more active account at Charles Schwab — often the WellsTrade account is the older, conservative core sitting beside a Schwab account (or a former TD Ameritrade account since folded into Schwab) used for more hands-on investing. Connect both and StackViewer produces a single time-weighted return across the two accounts, a combined diversification score, and one dividend calendar — rather than two apps you mentally add together.
How the combined multi-broker view works →
Is it safe to connect Wells Fargo?
The connection is read-only OAuth through SnapTrade. You log in on Wells Fargo's own site — StackViewer never sees your credentials and never stores them. The token that comes back can read positions and history and nothing else: StackViewer cannot place a trade or move a dollar, and no trading permission is requested at any point. You can revoke access from inside your Wells Fargo profile whenever you want.
Data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit, authentication runs on AWS Cognito with optional TOTP MFA, and you can export everything to CSV or delete your account at any time. Full detail on the security page.
