Welcome to the ultimate guide on using Whales Auto Tracker—the premium feature that lets you automatically follow the top holdings of elite hedge funds (like ARK Invest) and U.S. Congress members. Built on real 13F filings and disclosures, this tool constructs simulated portfolios, rebalances them based on updates, and delivers performance insights with daily-updated net value curves. Whether you're a novice investor or a seasoned trader, Whales Auto Tracker simplifies "whale watching" so you can ride the waves of institutional moves.

In this tutorial, we'll walk you through everything: from subscribing and adding whales to your watchlist, to interpreting performance metrics, receiving trade alerts, and understanding the behind-the-scenes magic. Let's dive in!
