If you invest in Czechia, your holdings probably span Prague-listed shares in CZK, US stocks and ETFs in USD, and maybe some crypto. This guide explains how to track all of it in one place, what multi-currency profit and loss really means for a Czech resident, and where the tools most locals already use start to fall short.
What is a portfolio tracker, and why do Czech investors need one?
A portfolio tracker is a tool that pulls all your holdings into one view and shows your total value, cost, and profit or loss in a single currency, even when those holdings sit across different brokers, exchanges, and currencies. For a Czech investor that single currency is almost always the Czech koruna (CZK), even though many of your assets are priced in US dollars or euros.
The problem most Czech investors hit is fragmentation. You might hold CEZ and Komercni banka on the Prague Stock Exchange, an S&P 500 ETF through XTB, and a bag of BTC-USD on an exchange. No single broker app shows all three together, and none of them does the currency maths honestly.
- Prague shares report in CZK on your local broker.
- US stocks and ETFs report in USD somewhere else.
- Crypto sits in a separate app entirely.
A good tracker closes that gap. PortfolioTrackr supports the Prague Stock Exchange with prices in CZK, lets you convert every value to koruna, and sends price alerts over WhatsApp and Telegram.
Which exchange do Czech investors use, and when does it trade?
The primary local market is the Prague Stock Exchange (PSE), known in Czech as Burza cennych papiru Praha, and its headline index is the PX index. It trades Monday to Friday and is closed at weekends and on Czech exchange holidays.
What trades on the Prague Stock Exchange?
The PSE is small by global standards, with a concentrated list of blue chips rather than thousands of names. The most-watched tickers include:
- CEZ, the energy utility and the largest index constituent.
- Komercni banka and Moneta Money Bank in financials.
- Erste Group Bank, dual-listed and widely held locally.
- Philip Morris CR, a long-standing dividend name.
In PortfolioTrackr the exchange carries the code PRA, and prices come through in CZK so your Prague holdings sit in your home currency with no manual conversion.
What does multi-currency P&L mean when you also hold US stocks?
Multi-currency profit and loss means your tracker separates how much you made on the asset from how much you made or lost on the exchange rate. For a Czech investor holding USD stocks, this is the single most important feature, and it is where spreadsheets and broker apps quietly mislead you.
Here is the mechanic. When you buy a US stock, PortfolioTrackr converts the cost of that holding at the CZK/USD rate on the day you bought it. It converts today's value at today's rate. The difference between those two rates becomes a separate currency gain or loss line on your summary card and your P&L chart.
- Your AAPL shares might be up in dollar terms.
- But if the koruna strengthened against the dollar since you bought, part of that gain evaporates when measured in CZK.
- A single blended number hides this. A separate currency line shows you exactly what happened.
PortfolioTrackr holds 10 years of daily exchange rates for its 100 currencies, so the conversion uses the real rate on each relevant date, not a rough approximation. Sold holdings use the sale-day rate, and dividends use the pay-date rate. If you want the fuller picture on mixing asset classes, see our guide on tracking stocks and crypto together in one app.
What are the local accounts and brokers a Czech investor should know?
The Czech investing landscape centres on a few domestic brokers and one notable tax-advantaged wrapper, the DIP. Knowing them matters because your tracker has to accommodate whatever account structure you actually use.
The DIP long-term investment product
The DIP (dlouhodoby investicni produkt, or long-term investment product) is a tax-advantaged account framework introduced to encourage long-horizon retirement investing in Czechia. It lets eligible contributions and the investments held inside it receive favourable treatment when you hold for the long term and respect the account's conditions.
A DIP is a wrapper, not a broker. Several local providers offer DIP-eligible accounts, so you choose both the wrapper and the platform that holds your assets inside it.
The main brokers Czech investors use
Three names dominate conversations among Czech retail investors:
- Fio banka, a domestic bank and broker with direct access to the Prague Stock Exchange and strong local-share coverage.
- Patria Finance, a long-established Czech brokerage popular for both local and foreign markets.
- XTB, widely used for commission-light access to US and European stocks, ETFs, and fractional shares.
Each of these does a competent job of executing trades and showing you the holdings inside that one account. None of them is built to be the single home for everything you own across providers. That is the gap a dedicated tracker fills, and it is covered in depth in our guide to connecting a brokerage account to a portfolio tracker.
How does dividend withholding work on foreign shares?
Dividend withholding is tax deducted at source in the country where the company is listed, before the dividend reaches you. For a Czech investor, the practical point is that a US dividend and a Prague dividend do not arrive the same way, and the paperwork differs.
With US-listed shares, brokers typically ask you to complete a W-8BEN form, which certifies your non-US residency and lets you claim the treaty rate under the Czechia to United States double-taxation treaty. Without it, more can be withheld than necessary.
- A completed W-8BEN is the standard step for claiming treaty benefits on US dividends.
- Prague-listed dividends are handled under Czech domestic rules and reach you in CZK.
- A tax treaty may let you credit foreign tax already withheld against what you owe at home.
We are deliberately not quoting percentages here, because withholding and treaty rates change and a wrong number in a finance guide is worse than none. Confirm current rates with your broker or a Czech tax adviser. What a tracker can do is keep clean records: PortfolioTrackr converts each dividend at the pay-date rate and its tax report converts every trade at the rate of its own date, showing that rate on every row.
What do Czech investors use today, and where do those tools stop?
Most Czech retail investors today rely on some combination of their broker's own app and a spreadsheet. Both work until your portfolio outgrows them, and both have predictable failure points.
The broker-app approach
Your Fio, Patria, or XTB app shows the holdings in that account accurately and in real time. The limits appear the moment you use more than one provider:
- No combined view across brokers, so your true total net worth lives nowhere.
- Crypto held off-platform is invisible.
- Currency gain is blended into the headline number, not broken out.
- Manually added assets like physical gold or a private holding do not fit.
The spreadsheet approach
A spreadsheet is flexible and free, and plenty of disciplined investors run one for years. The cost is your time and the fragility of manual data. Live prices break, exchange rates go stale, and one mistyped formula quietly corrupts a year of records. We compared the two approaches directly in portfolio tracker versus spreadsheet.
| Capability | Broker app | Spreadsheet | PortfolioTrackr |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prague Stock Exchange prices in CZK | Yes, that broker only | Manual | Yes |
| Combined multi-broker view | No | Manual | Yes |
| Separate currency gain line | No | Hard to build | Yes |
| Stocks and crypto together | Rarely | Manual | Yes |
How does PortfolioTrackr fit a Czech portfolio?
PortfolioTrackr is built to be the single place your whole portfolio lives, with the Prague Stock Exchange priced in CZK sitting alongside your US stocks, ETFs, and crypto, all convertible to koruna. It is designed for exactly the mixed, multi-currency portfolio that a Czech investor tends to accumulate.
Getting your holdings in
Connecting a broker is optional. You can build your portfolio several ways, and all of them work on every plan:
- Smart & Easy Import by voice, text, or a screenshot of your broker statement.
- Bulk CSV import for a full export from Fio, Patria, or XTB.
- Manual entry for anything off-platform, including DIP holdings or self-custody crypto added by hand.
If you do want automatic sync, Alpaca, Bybit, and Interactive Brokers connect directly on every plan, and 42 brokers connect through the SnapTrade bridge on a paid Pro or Lifetime plan. Each connected broker gets its own read-only portfolio that does not count toward your portfolio limit.
Price alerts over WhatsApp and Telegram
PortfolioTrackr lets you set price-level alerts and reach you where you already are. You can set Target 1, Target 2, and a stop-loss level on a position, plus a price above or below on a watchlist entry.
- Every position and watchlist level is checked once a minute while its market is open, and around the clock for crypto.
- A closed market is skipped, so your Prague and US stock alerts are not checked overnight, at weekends, or on exchange holidays.
- You hear within a minute of your level being hit, over WhatsApp, Telegram, email, or push.
These report status against your own levels, such as still below target or stop-loss level reached. They do not tell you what to do. For a broader feature-by-feature look, our real-data comparison of six portfolio trackers sets PortfolioTrackr against the main alternatives.
The bottom line
The best portfolio tracker for a Czech investor in 2026 is the one that treats a mixed portfolio honestly: Prague Stock Exchange shares in CZK, US and global holdings converted at the right historical rates, and a currency gain or loss line you can actually see rather than a blended number that hides it.
Your Fio, Patria, and XTB apps remain excellent for executing trades, and a DIP remains a sensible long-term wrapper. A dedicated tracker sits on top of all of it, giving you one koruna-denominated view of everything you own, with alerts over WhatsApp and Telegram when your own price levels are reached.

Frequently asked questions
Does PortfolioTrackr support the Prague Stock Exchange?
Yes. PortfolioTrackr supports the Prague Stock Exchange under the code PRA, with prices in CZK. That means Czech blue chips like CEZ and Komercni banka sit in your home currency automatically, alongside your US stocks, ETFs, and crypto in one combined view.
Can I see my whole portfolio in Czech koruna?
Yes. PortfolioTrackr supports multi-currency portfolios and converts every value to CZK. It also breaks out currency gain or loss as its own line, so you can see how much of your return came from the asset itself versus movements in the CZK exchange rate.
What is a DIP account in Czechia?
The DIP (dlouhodoby investicni produkt, or long-term investment product) is a Czech tax-advantaged wrapper designed for long-horizon retirement investing. It is a framework rather than a broker, so you choose a provider to hold your investments inside it. Confirm current eligibility and tax conditions with your provider or a tax adviser.
How are US dividends taxed for Czech investors?
US dividends are subject to withholding at source, and Czech investors typically complete a W-8BEN form to claim the treaty rate under the Czechia to United States double-taxation treaty. We do not quote specific rates here because they change. Confirm current figures with your broker or a Czech tax adviser.
Can I get price alerts on WhatsApp for my stocks?
Yes. PortfolioTrackr sends price-level alerts over WhatsApp, Telegram, email, and push on every plan. Each position and watchlist level is checked once a minute while its market is open, and around the clock for crypto, so you hear within a minute of your level being hit.
