What you can do with Vertigo

Every feature with a concrete example and a link to try it.

See how far an asset has fallen from its high

What it does: Search for a stock, an ETF, an index or a crypto by name, ticker or ISIN. The big number is how far it sits today below its highest close ever. Under it you find how many days it has been below the high and how much it would have to rise to get back there.
Example: an ETF closed at its high at 100 and is worth 79 today. Vertigo shows you −21%: to get back to 100 it has to rise by about 27%.
Try it: Try it on SPY

What it does: The chart shows the price or the drawdown from the high, over the period you choose. Hover over a day, or tap it on your phone, to read its date, its close and its fall from the high.
Example: you want to know how far it fell in the last correction. Drag from the peak to the low: Vertigo writes you the two dates and the change, for example −18%. On a phone you do it with two fingers.
Try it: Try it on SPY

What it does: Under the chart you find the fall in its context: the last time the asset was this far below its high, its worst fall, the fall of each year and the list of past falls with their recovery.
Example: an asset is at −25%. You find out that the last time it was this low was three years ago, that its worst fall was −55% and that, after that fall, it took two years to get back to its high.
Try it: Try it on SPY

What it does: For stocks and ETFs that pay dividends you can read the fall on the price alone or with dividends reinvested. If you reinvest your dividends, the second is the fall you really have.
Example: an asset is at −30% on the price. With dividends reinvested the fall is smaller, for example −24%: the dividends collected and put back into the asset covered part of the drop.

What it does: With a free account you save up to 10 assets with the star and find them again on the home page, each with its fall from the high.
Example: you follow the five ETFs of your savings plan. Open the home page and see at once which one is furthest below its high.

What it does: With a free account you get 3 alerts on the assets in your watchlist. Choose how far it has to fall: we write to you once, when it gets there.
Example: an ETF is at −21% from its high and you have decided that below −25% you will buy more. You set the alert at −25% and, on the evening a close gets there, we write to you. If you think in terms of today's price, you can ask instead: “alert me if it loses another 5% from the latest close”.

What it does: For free you choose which 3 assets get an alert. With Pro you get one on each of them, each with its own level.
Example: you keep an eye on fifteen assets. For the world ETF the alert is at −20%, for a jumpier stock at −40%. Every evening Vertigo checks the closes of all fifteen.

What it does: With Pro you keep up to 10 watchlists of 20 assets each.
Example: one for the assets you own, one for those you would buy if they fell, one for the ETFs you are weighing up.

What it does: You import your portfolio and Vertigo tells you how far it has fallen from its high, for how many days, and how much each holding weighs. The holdings and their quantities are enough, up to 30 holdings: no amounts, no purchase prices.
Example: your broker says you are up 12%, but the portfolio you hold today can still be 8% below its high. The first number tells you whether you are making money. The second tells you how much you have already “lost” from the top: it is the one that really weighs when markets fall.
Try it: Open the example portfolio

What it does: Vertigo reads what your ETFs hold and adds up the companies of all your funds, as if you had bought them one by one.
Example: do you hold an MSCI World ETF and an S&P 500 one? The same large American companies sit in both. Vertigo Pro shows you how much the two funds overlap, how much each company really weighs in your portfolio and how much of it sits in just 10 companies. It also tells you how much is in companies already down 30.0% or more from their high, even when the ETF seems flat.
Try it: Open the example portfolio

What it does: On an ETF's page, with Pro you see its 30 largest companies, how much each weighs in the fund and how much they weigh together.
Example: before buying a world ETF you want to know how much it depends on a few companies. The page tells you, for example, that the first 30 weigh 40% of the fund.
