# TradeScout

> A free, account-less investing portal for European private investors, in Dutch
> with interface translations in nl, en, de, fr, es. It offers a plain-HTML reading page for
> 499 listed companies and 2146 ETFs, each with prices, key figures and —
> for stocks — a full dividend history reconstructed from price data.

Every reading page is rendered server-side and complete without JavaScript, so
it can be read directly. Figures come from public sources (Yahoo Finance for
prices, the SEC's XBRL filings for reported annual figures, the ECB and FRED for
interest rates) and each page names its source.

## What is distinctive here

- **Dividend history back to the first payment**, per company, including whether
  the dividend was cut or raised during the 2008-2010 credit crisis and during
  the 2020 pandemic. Most price aggregators only show a current yield.
- **Dividend yield set against the risk-free rate in the same currency** — the
  10-year euro AAA government yield (ECB) or the 10-year US Treasury (FRED), so
  a 3% yield can be judged rather than just read.
- **A curated ETF guide** of 152 funds with their tracked index and ongoing
  charges, on top of the broader Xetra universe.
- **No advertising, no tracking cookies, no account requirement.**

## What the app itself does

The reading pages above are the crawlable surface. The portal at the root is a
client-side application, so its features are invisible to a crawler — which is
why they are listed here. All of it works without an account; an account only
adds sync between devices.

- **Watchlists** for stocks, ETFs and crypto, in as many lists as you like.
- **Portfolio tracking** with time-weighted return, transaction costs,
  rebalancing, dividend income and an overview for Dutch wealth tax (box 3).
  Broker CSVs from Trade Republic and DEGIRO can be imported.
- **Recurring investments (DCA)**: record a monthly or weekly plan and the
  instalments are booked at the closing price of the day. TradeScout is not a
  broker — it records the purchase your own bank already makes.
- **Price alerts**, optionally delivered as a push notification through ntfy.
- **Screening across seven lenses** — breakouts, insider transactions, dividend
  quality and others — over a sector, a theme or your own list.
- **Paper trading** and a cost simulator, to test an idea without money.
- **Charts** with moving averages, RSI, MACD and alert lines you drag in place.

Per-company summaries and the weekly market report are written on the
operator's own hardware rather than a commercial AI service, so no portfolio
data leaves the site. They are labelled as machine-written wherever they appear.

## Overview pages

- [All stocks](https://trade-scout.nl/fondsen): 499 companies grouped by exchange
- [All ETFs](https://trade-scout.nl/etfs): 2146 funds grouped by type
- [Equity ETFs](https://trade-scout.nl/etfs/aandelen)
- [Bond ETFs](https://trade-scout.nl/etfs/obligaties)

## Example pages

- [ASML Holding](https://trade-scout.nl/fonds/ASML.AS): Dutch semiconductor equipment maker
- [Coca-Cola](https://trade-scout.nl/fonds/KO): dividend history since 1985
- [Unilever](https://trade-scout.nl/fonds/UNA.AS)

Page URLs follow `/fonds/<ticker>` for stocks (Yahoo-style tickers, e.g.
`ASML.AS` for Amsterdam, `KO` for New York) and `/etf/<isin>` for ETFs. Other
languages take a prefix: `/en/fonds/KO`, `/de/fondsen`. Dutch has no prefix.

## Machine access

- [API documentation](https://trade-scout.nl/api-docs): one endpoint,
  `GET /api/export`, behind a personal key (`Authorization: Bearer ts_…`).
  Returns TradeScout's own calculations — dividend yield against the risk-free
  rate in the same currency, share-count trend, total shareholder return — as
  JSON or CSV, for the companies listed above. Raw prices and historical series
  are deliberately excluded: those come from a free source and showing them on a
  reading page is not the same as redistributing them.

## What this is not

- **Not investment advice.** Pages are informational and say so.
- **Not real-time.** Prices may be delayed by up to fifteen minutes.
- **Not an official source for dividends.** Dividend history is reconstructed
  from price data and can differ from a company's own filings. Treat it as
  indicative and check the company's investor relations page for decisions.
- **Not a broker.** Nothing can be bought or sold here.
- **Not a complete market.** Coverage is a curated European and US selection,
  not every listed company.
