Gold and Silver Portfolio Tracker — Track Precious Metals for Free
Track your gold and silver holdings for free alongside crypto and stocks — see your precious metals P&L with live prices.
Gold and silver have been stores of value for millennia. In a modern investment portfolio they play specific roles: inflation hedge, safe-haven asset during equity downturns, and diversifier with low correlation to stocks and crypto. Tracking them properly means knowing your ounces held, your cost basis, and how they fit into your total net worth.
The Challenge of Tracking Physical Metals
Physical gold and silver are not tracked by brokerage apps. If you hold:
- Gold coins or bars — no app automatically knows what you own.
- Silver rounds or ETFs like SLV — you might see the ETF in a brokerage, but not alongside your physical metal.
- Both alongside crypto and stocks — no single brokerage or exchange shows the complete picture.
Manual tracking with live price feeds is the most practical solution.
Track Gold (XAU) in WalletLens
WalletLens supports gold tracking with the spot gold price (XAU/USD). To set it up:
1. Open walletlens.live/dashboard — no account needed.
2. Add an asset and search for Gold or XAU.
3. Enter your total ounces and the price per ounce you paid.
4. Your gold position appears with the live gold price, your P&L in dollars, and your percentage gain or loss.
The live gold spot price updates automatically, so you can see your real gold P&L at any time without manual price lookup.
Track Silver (XAG) in WalletLens
Silver works identically. Visit walletlens.live/track/silver and add your ounces and purchase price. The app uses the live silver spot price (XAG/USD) to calculate your current value and P&L.
Why Metals Belong in a Net Worth View
Gold and silver are not liquid assets you trade daily. Their value is most meaningful when you see them as part of your total net worth:
- As a percentage of net worth — most financial planners suggest 5–15% in metals as a hedge.
- Offsetting crypto and stock volatility — metals often hold value when risk assets sell off.
- Total wealth picture — your actual financial position includes metals, not just what's in a brokerage account.
WalletLens shows gold and silver alongside your crypto, stocks, and cash in one live dashboard — giving you the complete view.
Calculate Metal P&L First
Before adding positions, you can use the gold profit calculator or silver profit calculator to see what your holdings would be worth at different price targets.
Precious Metals as Inflation Hedge
Historically, gold has maintained purchasing power across decades, even as currencies lose value to inflation. Silver has higher volatility but also higher potential upside. Holding a portion of your wealth in both provides a buffer that financial assets often can't.
The key is seeing them together — use walletlens.live to add your metals alongside everything else and get a true picture of your financial position. Free, no account needed.
