Today you will notice some significant changes to the website as Covestor comes out of beta and opens up to anyone to join. You should find this improves your experience on the website and significantly expands the community for you to help/learn from.
Investors of any level or experience can now register to track the live trades of the self directed investors on the site (i.e. you no longer need a membership code/invitation or to share a portfolio to participate). To create an account, simply choose a username and password. Once signed in you can track the real trades of tens of thousands of brilliant investors for free, and/or add your portfolio at any time to better track your own investments. Invite your friends as we are now open to the world!
Other new features include:
- Enhanced Personal Profiles: More detailed Profiles of the members and
the ability to see how they match your investment goals.
- Simplified Navigation: Including the ability to access a list of recently viewed members (per the Amazon recently viewed items feature).
- Updated design: New style and colors to make the Fact Sheets and the Editor easier to use.
- Extended Invitations: Full address book upload and management functionality. Tell your friends about other members on the site and they will tell their friends about you.
- Follower Fact Sheets: If choosing just to follow others, you are still given a Blog and Watchlist (i.e. everything other than Trades and Holdings, per members sharing portfolios).
If you are an existing member all of your account information will be on new site. Let us know if there is anything that you think hasn’t been correctly updated. Send us your feedback on the upgrade and as always any further suggestions for improvement. Great work Covestor team...
Great job guys. looks sweet.

Do you all have a time table for options trading? Thanks!

Hey Jorge
Is hard to put a date on but not too long. Appreciate the issue re options, they are an important part of the strategies of a number of our members. Our challenge is that there are many more of them than stocks, it is hard to obtain consistent symbol/pricing data for them and they obviously behave slightly differently from stocks (i.e. can expire or be exercised) which the brokers do not consistently report. As I say though hoping to be including them relatively shortly....
