Steady Compounder6 holdings, 4.4 effective positions. Your portfolio is moderately concentrated.

A tight, genuinely diversified set of positions. The boring, durable kind of portfolio.

Drift describes what's already in your portfolio. It isn't investment advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold anything.

Included with every plan

Up to 5 holdings and 5 watchlist tickers

Enough room for a real, working portfolio, not just a token trial. Track the positions that actually matter to you, no time limit on how long you can use them for free.

Full AI-narrated weekly digest

Every week, Drift writes a plain-English recap of what actually happened: what moved, what it means, and whether anything's worth a second look. Never a stripped-down summary, the same real narrative every time. Here's an actual one, word for word.

A quiet week, and a good one. Nothing demanded your attention, which is the whole point. Semiconductor strength carried it, and the rest of the portfolio held its usual steady shape.

Full digest history

Every digest Drift has ever written for your portfolio stays available, indefinitely. Look back on any past week, any time, exactly as it was written.

Concentration, risk, and sector analysis

Alongside the narrative, Drift computes real numbers: annualized volatility, your worst historical drawdown, and how your holdings are actually spread across sectors. Real analysis, built into every digest.

Generate a digest on demand

Don't want to wait for the next scheduled check-in? Generate a digest right now, computed fresh against live prices, not from cache. Metered by digest tokens, not a plan gate: Free gets 5, total. Standard gets 15 more every month. Pro gets 50 more every month, on top of whichever automatic cadence you've chosen.

Standard

Everything below is included with Standard ($9/mo). Everything above stays free. Pro includes all of this too.

Unlimited holdings and watchlist

No cap on holdings or watchlist tickers. Track every position you actually hold, whether that's 8 or 80.

Switch to daily digests, any time

Weekly stays the default, calm pace for everyone. Switch to a digest every day when a busier week calls for closer attention, then back the moment you don't need it anymore.

Multiple named portfolios

Keep a retirement account, a trading account, and anything else completely separate, each with its own holdings, watchlist, history, and digest.

Custom benchmark per portfolio

Every digest compares your return against a benchmark, the S&P 500 by default. Swap that for anything else with a ticker: the Nasdaq, a sector ETF, or whatever you're actually trying to beat.

Target allocation tracking

Set a target weight per sector, say 30% technology, and every digest shows exactly how far your real holdings have drifted from it.

Tax-loss harvesting insights

Drift automatically flags holdings sitting 10% or more below their cost basis, worth considering for tax-loss harvesting. No need to comb through every position by hand looking for one.

Customize what's in your digest

Turn any section on or off, hide watchlist moves or upcoming earnings if they're not useful to you. Choose what the recap's own writing leans into each week: performance, risk, tax, or news, or switch to Customized for full manual control over how much detail each topic gets.

Keyword-based news alerts

Watch a specific ticker for a specific phrase, a plant, a lawsuit, a product line, and a match shows up in your next digest automatically. Reuses the same news Drift already tracks per ticker, nothing new to set up.

Watch NVDA for “nuclear plant”

Match found in your NVDA watch:a headline mentioning “nuclear plant” showed up in today's scan, a standalone email as soon as it's found, or a mention in your next weekly digest, your choice.

Emailed weekly digest

Your digest lands directly in your inbox the moment it's ready. No need to remember to open the app, ever.

Earnings alerts

A heads-up before any of your holdings report earnings, delivered the same calm way as everything else Drift sends.

Interactive Brokers sync

Paste a read-only IBKR Flex Web Service token and query ID (both generated in IBKR's own Client Portal, Drift never sees your IBKR login) and your holdings stay in sync automatically, once a day plus whenever you click Sync now. Read-only by IBKR's own design: there's no equivalent endpoint for placing a trade or moving money.

How focus changes your recap

PremiumStandard

A setting in your dashboard's digest customization. Focus doesn't change what Drift computes, every number below is available on every plan. It changes what the recap's own writing chooses to lead with. Five of the six modes below describe the exact same week for the exact same portfolio, the one shown at the top of this page, so you can compare them directly, Customized is the one exception, since its whole point is not leaning the writing any particular way.

Balanced

A little of everything, weighted toward what's most notable this week.

A quiet week, and a good one. Nothing demanded your attention, which is the whole point. Semiconductor strength carried it, and the rest of the portfolio held its usual steady shape.

Performance

What drove this week's return, and how you're doing overall.

Your portfolio added 2.4% this week, ahead of the S&P 500's 1.7%. NVDA did the heavy lifting: a 6.1% gain worth about +$686 of your week's return, more than double AAPL's +$261. XOM was the one real drag, down 2.8% and costing you around -$318. Since you started tracking this portfolio, you're up 18.6% overall, and sitting just 1.7% below your all-time peak value.

Risk

Volatility, drawdown, beta, and diversification.

Volatility stayed contained this week at 18.6% annualized, with your worst drawdown over the tracked history at -4.1%. Your portfolio's beta versus the S&P 500 is 1.15, so expect moves a bit larger than the market's in either direction. Diversification held at 4.4 effective positions across six holdings: moderately concentrated, not alarmingly so.

Tax

Tax-loss harvesting opportunities, when there are any.

Nothing in your portfolio crossed the tax-loss harvesting threshold this week; XOM's 2.8% pullback isn't yet enough from cost basis to flag. When a holding does cross that line, this is what you'd see instead: “Tax-loss harvesting candidates (down 10%+ from cost basis): XOM (-14.2%), totaling $920 in unrealized losses.” Specific tickers, specific numbers, only when there's actually something worth considering.

News

Recent headlines and analyst sentiment for what you hold and watch.

Coverage stayed active on your holdings this week. NVDA picked up several new pieces on data-center demand and an analyst price-target bump, reinforcing the bullish case behind its 6.1% move. AAPL saw lighter coverage ahead of its July 31 earnings date, mostly previews, nothing that moved the stock. Analyst consensus across your six holdings stayed tilted toward Buy/Hold, with no fresh downgrades this week. On the watchlist, TSLA picked up a wave of coverage around its recent climb, still nothing you hold, just tracked.

Customized

No fixed voice, unlocks full manual control over detail and swing-trading signals below.

Customized doesn't lean the writing any particular way, on its own, it reads like Balanced above. What it actually unlocks is manual control: dial each of 8 topics from off to comprehensive, and fold in Pro-only swing-trading signals individually, right in Customize your digest. Every other focus mode here narrates those same topics at sensible defaults instead, no dialing required.

Pro

Everything below is Pro-only ($19/mo), on top of everything in Standard. Full manual control over your digest, plus signals built for swing trading, days to weeks, not literal day trading.

Swing-trading technical indicators

Moving averages, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, volatility-breakout flags, and relative strength vs. your benchmark, standard indicators computed from real historical price data for every holding, the same kind any brokerage shows, not something that has to build up while you happen to be a Drift user.

A dense, customizable dashboard

A scan-first table built for checking every position fast, not a paragraph to read. Choose exactly which columns show, filter down to what matters right now (oversold, breakout-only, bullish trend), and save a specific combination as a named view to jump back to.

Standalone keyword alert emails

The same keyword watches from the Standard tier, one more delivery option: an email as soon as a match is found, on the same daily, twice-daily, or hourly cadence as intraday price alerts below, instead of waiting for the next digest. Both modes stay on at once if you want them, the digest mention doesn't go away.

Indicator alerts

Pick a ticker and a metric, price, RSI, a golden/death cross, or a move from your cost basis, set a condition and a threshold, and get an email the moment it's crossed. Edge-triggered: one email when it happens, not a repeat every hour it stays crossed, and it re-arms automatically once the condition clears.

Faster price refresh during market hours

Choose daily, twice-daily, or hourly polling for your held/watched tickers. Not streaming, still the same free data source as the rest of Drift, just checked more often than the once-a-day snapshot every other plan gets.

Everything above the Standard section is free, for as long as you use Drift. Standard adds room to grow and more control over your digest. Pro adds full manual customization, swing-trading signals, and a dashboard built for checking every position fast. Upgrade only if one of those would actually help.
