Why the accounting-first design matters
A portfolio tracker can become unreliable when market-price data, imported broker statements and historical transaction records overwrite one another. Market Minds is designed to keep those jobs separate: transactions explain what happened; prices explain what positions are worth now.
This separation lets a user maintain a ledger, review cost basis and calculate current valuation from an explicitly dated price update without rewriting historical transactions.
Review-first imports
Automated extraction is useful only if a user can review what will be committed. Broker files vary, historical statements can contain reversals and same-day activity can affect sell-lot handling. Review gates are therefore a product feature, not an inconvenience.
Private portfolio workspace
Portfolio records, imports and account data are handled inside the authenticated workspace, while public guides and calculators remain separate.
