5
Wait for the sync
guito returns to the Connections page and shows the sync progress on the Trading 212 row while it fetches positions, orders, dividends, and Pies.
Keep your data up to date
You don’t have to do anything: guito syncs Trading 212 automatically in the background. If you open the Connections or Investments page and the last sync is more than an hour old, guito refreshes the data then and there.guito imports your full Trading 212 history, not just recent activity. Trading 212 may email or notify you each time guito imports that history; these notifications are expected and come from Trading 212, not guito.
What guito syncs
Positions
Your positions appear in your portfolio with the average cost calculated from the imported orders.
Cash
The balance shown is the total cash in your Trading 212 account: free cash, cash in Pies, and cash reserved for limit orders.
Dividends and interest
Dividends and interest are imported and classified under the Investments category.
Deposits and fees
Deposits and withdrawals come in as Transfers; fees go under Fees and charges.
Pies (automatic portfolios)
Each Pie is stored as its own portfolio, named Trading 212: [Pie name]. If you hold the same asset inside a Pie and outside it, you’ll see two separate positions, each with its own average cost, grouped under the same ticker on the Overview page.Multiple currencies
If your Trading 212 account holds cash in more than one currency (for example, euros and dollars), guito treats each currency as its own cash account (“Trading 212 (USD)”, “Trading 212 (GBP)”), each with its own history in the original currency and converted to euros in your totals. Currency conversions appear as a transfer between those accounts, with the fee recorded separately under Fees and charges.Quotes
For less common assets, with no market quotes available, the chart shows only the data since you connected your Trading 212 account.How movements are classified
Imported movements arrive already classified: buys, sells, dividends, and interest under Investments, deposits and withdrawals as Transfers, and fees under Fees and charges.Corporate actions and special cases
Splits, stock dividends, and FOP
Splits, stock dividends, and FOP
guito automatically processes stock splits and dividends paid in shares. On free-of-payment transfers (FOP), the shares arrive with a cost basis of zero, so you need to adjust the position’s average cost manually.
Acquisitions
Acquisitions
An acquisition (for example, one company acquiring another) appears with both legs, and guito shows a review suggestion to transfer the average cost manually.
Return of capital
Return of capital
The cash received lands in your account but isn’t treated as a dividend, because it isn’t income. guito suggests adjusting the position’s average cost manually.
Conflicts with manual transactions
Conflicts with manual transactions
If you had manually recorded a buy or sell that Trading 212 now also imports, guito flags the possible duplicates in a review list on the Connections page. There you can choose, entry by entry, which ones match the same trade: the ones you confirm are replaced by the imported version, and the rest stay as separate transactions.
Disconnect, reconnect, and update the key
In the action menu on the connection card, choose Disconnect. The cash account is archived and the API key is deleted. Historical transactions and positions stay visible; the Pie portfolios are archived and come back if you reconnect. If you generate a new key in Trading 212 (or the previous one was revoked), choose Update key in the action menu on the connection card and paste the new key. All your history (transactions, positions, Pies) is kept. The same applies if you reconnect the same account after disconnecting: guito picks it up in its previous state, with nothing duplicated.Limitations
- Only real Invest and ISA accounts. Demo (paper trading) and CFD accounts are not supported.
- Only Trading 212 accounts with a EUR base currency can be connected. Within a EUR account, cash held in other currencies (USD, GBP) syncs as separate cash accounts.
