Release notes

What actually changed

Connect with eToro. Signing in with eToro now also reads your data. You approve read-only access on eToro, and BullLens renews it by itself. API keys still work as an alternative. Account settings → Connections shows both side by side: which one is in use, which one is the backup, and your sign-in methods.

Profile badges. Earned badges show under your name: Premium, Founding tester, Connected with eToro, Bug hunter, Ambassador and One year on BullLens. Account settings → Your badges lists every badge and how to earn it.

Who sees which profile. A BullLens profile is visible to others only when its owner ticks "Make my BullLens profile public".

Account value and Today. Portfolio shows your account value, invested amount, open P/L and cash, like eToro's home. A "?" next to the Today chart explains why eToro's home "Today" can differ from the sum of the Daily P/L column.

Heatmap. Holdings are sized by their weight in the portfolio, with "Move" to switch back to the old layout. A colour legend shows the scale, and the scale now follows the period.

Faster refreshes. Your data refreshes much faster and more steadily, your closed trades are kept for up to 5 years, and a request that gets no answer from eToro is tried again.

Fixes.

• Hong Kong stocks with 5-digit codes now get their dividends.
• The dividend yield is weighted on current value, like eToro's.
• The menu no longer shows pages that are not available.

Still honest limitations

• With API keys, some requests to eToro can be slow from certain networks; Connect with eToro does not have the problem.
• If eToro stops the access (for example when you remove BullLens from your connected apps), reconnect it in Account settings.
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

My Lens. Your own dashboard, made of the real cards of the other pages: same data, same rules. Start from a ready layout, then add cards from a drawer (grouped by page, with search), drag them, switch them between half and full width or remove them. More than 90 cards to choose from; modules load in order and only near the screen, so the page stays quick.

Analyst view. In Portfolio a small lens sits next to every stock with analyst coverage. Click it for the 12-month average target and the upside from the live price, the consensus and number of analysts, the target range with the price and your average open, the ratings and how they moved in 3 months, and the latest analyst actions with their targets. The Analyst targets card (My Lens) shows them for the whole portfolio: weighted upside, consensus, covered share, positions below the lowest target. Refreshed once a day.

Trade story. A new Share card: pick a position you hold and get its story — price change from your average entry, held since the first buy, entry → current price, max drawdown on the way, and a chart with a dot on every buy. Prices and percentages only, never amounts.

Diversification with ETFs. eToro tags an ETF with its issuer's industry, so a portfolio of world, bond and gold ETFs read as "Financial 72%". BullLens now opens the funds: sectors come from what each ETF holds, bonds, gold and cash are economic classes of their own, and a part it cannot see is shown as "Limited visibility" instead of a wrong score.

For the beta. Invite-only sign-ups with codes, and invites every user can share from Account settings. What's new messages, a Feedback button on every page, a Getting started checklist on your Overview and a Founding tester star for the first testers. Draft Terms, Privacy, Cookies and Disclaimer pages, linked from every footer and accepted at sign-up.

Fixed. The Trades page of an account with many closed trades answered with an error. Activity could fail with large accounts. Copiers history and demographics are kept again. The feed history no longer stops too early.

Still honest limitations

• European stocks have targets and ratings but no list of analyst actions, and ETFs and crypto have none
• ETFs without fund data are classified by their name, or shown as not looked through
• Legal pages are drafts, to be reviewed before the public beta
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

Stress test. Today's portfolio, with today's weights, through the 2008 financial crisis, the 2011 euro debt crisis, the late 2018 sell-off, the Covid crash, the 2022 rate shock and the 2025 tariff shock: fall from peak to bottom against the S&P 500, months back to the peak, what it means on $10,000, and the positions hit hardest. Daily prices since 2007; a stock that did not exist yet uses its sector ETF ("via XLK"), cash stays cash.

What if. Reduce, sell, set a weight or add a stock, ETF or crypto, several changes at once, and see volatility, max drawdown, Risk Score, Diversification Score, sector weight, last year's return with the new mix and the dividend yield before and after, with a one-line verdict.

Real exposure. Your ETFs opened up: the companies you hold directly plus the ones inside your funds. Full lists from the issuer for SPDR ETFs, the top 10 holdings for the others; the card says how much of your ETFs the lists explain.

How you trade. Habits found in the trades you closed in the last 12 months: losers held longer than winners, trades opened within 24 hours of a loss, busy weeks, profits taken too early. Each one is marked fine, to watch or costly.

Monthly report. A one-page PDF of any of the last 12 months: return against the S&P 500 and year to date, the month day by day with its worst fall, best and worst positions, dividends, trades closed and win rate, sectors and risk. Dollar amounts only if you tick "Show amounts".

Closer to eToro. Overview → Returns by period: 2Y is eToro's own 2-year figure (it differed from the compound of 24 monthly returns), and the card says when the monthly returns were read. Activity says what it counts: positions open now and trades closed in the last 12 months.

Smaller changes. Discord and X icons in the menu.

Still honest limitations

• Stress test and What if are simulations with today's weights, not forecasts
• ETFs outside SPDR are opened up with their top 10 holdings only, so the real exposure can only be higher
• The dot-com crash is not included: price history starts in 2007
• How you trade needs at least 20 closed trades and works on your own profile only
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

Sign in with Google and eToro. Next to GitHub, on the sign-in and sign-up pages. If an account with the same confirmed email (or the same connected eToro username) already exists, it is linked and signed in; otherwise a new account is created. An account that never confirmed its email is not linked, and the page says so.

Dividend Income. On your own Dividends page: what you received (up to 5 years), the last 12 months, this year and the next 12 months, by instrument and month, grouped by pay date like the eToro calendar. Gross estimates in USD from your units on each ex-date; projected amounts are marked with "~".

Today chart and Ticker check. Portfolio → Today: how the portfolio moved during your day, in 10-minute steps, ending on the Portfolio total. Diversification: search a stock or ETF, pick a weight and see how it would change each part of the Diversification Score.

Today, closer to eToro. Official previous closes, Daily P/L $0.00 for markets not open yet, the right reference after a market closes, 24/5 stocks, prices in DKK or GBp converted to USD, and a second price feed when a quote stands still.

Smaller fixes. Overview Allocation as four donuts; eToro's Risk Score first in Since your last visit; usernames that don't exist on eToro answer "This eToro user does not exist"; the data of profiles that turned private is deleted; dividends of a few instruments that were missing.

Still honest limitations

• Dividend amounts are gross: eToro credits them net of tax and gives no list of the credits
• Past pay dates are known only for some US stocks
• The Today chart uses today's units: trades made during the day are not replayed
• A profile made private is noticed only at its next refresh
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

Share page. Menu → Share: cards in 8 templates (performance against a benchmark, monthly record, top holdings, allocation, risk, dividends, comeback, your edge), from Today to 3 years, in square, story, X and Discord formats, downloaded as PNG with a ready caption. Today shows the portfolio and the benchmark for the day with the top 3 and worst 3 holdings. Wrapped tells your year in 7 story slides, and the factsheet is a one-page A4 PDF. Every link carries your referral code.

Your trades, honestly. Trades now reads all your closed trades of the last 364 days (it stopped at the first page: one tester saw 82 trades instead of 308). Your edge gives profit factor, average win and loss and results by holding time. Hindsight compares each closed trade with keeping it until today.

Overview. Pick the benchmarks on the Growth and Returns charts: hide the defaults and add any eToro instrument (up to 5). Since your last visit sums up what moved since you last opened the page.

Seasonality. Next 3 months, historically: how today's holdings moved in the coming months over the last 10 years, weighted as your portfolio is now, next to the S&P 500. Every card can be collapsed, and Insights is denser.

Private eToro profiles. With a private profile your data could not be prepared. Now you see everything on your own profile, while other users see only "This portfolio is private".

Smaller fixes. Portfolio → Today sometimes compared with a two-day-old close; past dividends stayed in Upcoming; the connection test now warns when the key misses User info: Read.

Still honest limitations

• A profile made private stays visible to other users until its next refresh (up to a few hours)
• Dividend dates are ex-dividend dates: payment dates are not available
• Hindsight ignores splits, dividends and currency moves after the close
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

Value vs Deposits. A third tab in the Overview charts (own profile): the gain on the money you put in, day by day, and the IRR (money-weighted return). Deposits are estimated from eToro's daily balance history, so there is nothing to enter. A referral reward or a compensation can be marked as a bonus with one click, so it counts as gain.

Portfolio Insights. A card above the positions, closed by default: best and worst positions, what added or took away the most from the return, the movers of the day, month and year, positions in profit and the weight of the top 5.

Company country, not exchange. Alibaba or ASML listed in New York no longer count as American: stocks use the company's country, ETFs get their own group. A test portfolio went from US 59% to 41%, the same as eToro.

Faster refresh. Your feed is refreshed in seconds instead of minutes: a profile with 1,000 posts went from about 17 minutes to a few seconds.

Risk, measured honestly. The realized risk history and the score on today's holdings are separate lines, with a daily record of eToro's Risk Score from today. New: worst day, worst week and maximum drawdown of the last year.

Smaller fixes. Feed "Best Time to Post" showed "undefined" and "based on 0 posts". Monthly Performance now has two decimals.

Still honest limitations

• Value vs Deposits covers the trading account only (not eToro Money), and deposits are estimated: interest and bonuses count as money put in until you mark them
• For Value vs Deposits your eToro key needs the Money > Balance: Read permission (the connection test warns if it is missing)
• The Risk Score on today's holdings starts today: it has no past
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

A stable, secure address for testers. The beta moved to dev.bull-lens.com with https, and sign-in cookies are always sent over the secure connection.

Still honest limitations

• The beta runs on a small test machine: fine for testing, not yet the final server
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

When eToro struggles, pages stay usable. If eToro is slow or limits requests, the Overview shows your last known profile instead of an empty header, and the page says plainly that eToro is limiting requests instead of showing a generic error.

Gentler with eToro. BullLens sends fewer requests at the same time, so large portfolios load without being refused.

Benchmarks always there. The S&P 500, Gold, Bitcoin and the other benchmarks could disappear for a moment while they were being refreshed: fixed.

Clearer labels. Seasonality says "S&P 500 (price return)" everywhere, not only in the footnote.

Still honest limitations

• Pages still wait for eToro's live portfolio (about 2 seconds)
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

The Overview is about three times faster. It went from about 8.5 seconds to 2.5. Instrument details that rarely change are kept for a day instead of being asked from eToro at every visit, and the rest is asked in parallel.

Numbers that match eToro. Seasonality drifted from eToro's own monthly figures (for example -2.70% against -1.55%); it now uses eToro's official monthly and yearly returns, like the Overview. Feed Analytics showed totals but no posts in one case: fixed.

Connecting the eToro keys. The fields are called Public API Key and Private API Key, as on eToro, with a hint under each one and a short guide: where to find the keys, which Read permissions to tick and that the private key is shown only once. The connection test explains errors in plain words and warns when a permission is missing.

Safer and more robust. Every form is protected against cross-site requests. When eToro's feed service is down, your previous Feed Analytics data is kept instead of failing.

Still honest limitations

• Pages still wait for eToro's live portfolio (about 2 seconds)
• Closed trades and activity are visible only on your own profile (a limit of the eToro Public API)
• The S&P 500 comparison is a price return (no dividends)
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

Seasonality vs S&P 500. Every month is compared with the S&P 500 over the same days. The monthly chart shows the index next to the portfolio, the year × month table switches between Portfolio, S&P 500 and the difference, and the reliability table adds the average excess return and how often the portfolio beat the index. Insights say how many months beat the market and which calendar months are strongest and weakest against it.

Pages explain missing data. When data is not there yet, Risk, Diversification, Seasonality, Dividends and Feed Analytics show a clear card: your data is being imported, another user's profile is being prepared (with a Refresh button), it will be retried later, or it is not available yet.

Maintenance means maintenance. During maintenance everybody sees the maintenance page, signed in or not.

Still honest limitations

• The S&P 500 comparison is a price return (no dividends)
• The history of eToro's Risk Score is not in the Public API: only the current score and the period maximums
• Closed trades and activity are visible only on your own profile (a limit of the eToro Public API)
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

You see your import happen. After you connect eToro, a window explains what is being imported and a progress bar at the top of every page follows it until "Your eToro data is ready". If something fails, you get a clear message. Saving the same keys again no longer imports everything again.

Only what eToro really shows. On other users' profiles, Portfolio shows the P/L in percent (it was wrongly shown in dollars), and pages that need private data (closed trades, activity, feed statistics) are shown only on your own profile.

Faster pages. The profile in the header and sidebar opens almost instantly, and a thin loading bar gives feedback as soon as you click.

Fewer failures when eToro is busy. When eToro asks to slow down, BullLens waits and tries again later instead of failing, and new users' first imports always go first.

Still honest limitations

• Closed trades and activity are visible only on your own profile (a limit of the eToro Public API)
• The Copiers page is a first version
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

Your data refreshed for everyone. The regular refresh now covers every user with an eToro connection, each with their own credentials.

You stay signed in. Sessions ended after about 24 minutes; now they last 30 days of inactivity. A suspended or deleted account is signed out at once.

Smaller fixes.

• Diversification failed on the first import of a new account
• Performance and drawdowns were not always kept after the first import

Still honest limitations

• Closed trades are visible only on your own profile (a limit of the eToro Public API)
• The Copiers page is a first version
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

/me is your profile. /me/portfolio, /me/trades, /me/risk, /me/diversification and the other pages always open your own eToro account, with the same features as any profile.

Your avatar everywhere. The avatar in the top-right menu used to show only on your own pages; now it is there on every page.

Still honest limitations

• Closed trades are visible only on your own profile (a limit of the eToro Public API)
• The Copiers page is a first version
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

Your own account. Register, sign in, confirm your email and turn on two-factor authentication if you like. Each user connects their own eToro API keys, stored encrypted.

Faster pages. The heavy analysis is prepared in the background, so pages open quickly with your Activity, Risk, Diversification, Dividends, Feed, Seasonality and drawdowns ready. The daily change and the heatmap periods stay right after the markets close.

Your data is prepared for you. Connecting eToro starts a first import of your data, and BullLens keeps it up to date by itself.

Small comforts. A menu on your avatar with Settings and Log out, the BullLens version in the sidebar, and a way to hide units and P/L in Portfolio when you share your screen.

Still honest limitations

• Closed trades are visible only on your own profile (a limit of the eToro Public API)
• The Copiers page is a first version
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

Risk. A BullLens Portfolio Risk Score next to eToro's official Risk Score, with annualized volatility, beta against the S&P 500, the risk contribution of each position, concentration and a correlation-aware view of the portfolio.

Stress days and common factors. BullLens looks at the last 60 trading days and picks the five worst days of the portfolio. For each one it shows the portfolio and S&P 500 returns, how many holdings fell, the top loss contributors and the sectors involved, then groups the holdings that tend to fall together. The analysis is descriptive: moving together in the past is not proof of a common cause.

Diversification. A diversification score with its factors, concentration figures, sector, country and asset-class exposure, overlap between holdings, the top positions and a written review.

Activity. Open positions, closed trades of your own account, a timeline of your activity and your most traded instruments.

Feed Analytics. Likes, comments and shares of your eToro posts by month, weekday and hour, your top posts, engagement by ticker and post type, where your audience comes from and the best time to post.

Still honest limitations

• Some areas are limited by what the eToro Public API exposes, such as what is inside an ETF
• BullLens analyzes portfolios: it does not give investment advice

What actually changed

• Overview dashboard with the portfolio summary and key figures
• Portfolio performance and cumulative performance, compared with benchmarks
• Drawdowns and monthly performance
• Diversification analysis
• Dividends, including the upcoming ones
• Holdings heatmap with the price change of each period
• Instrument names and logos
