What happens if I add a stock to my portfolio that already violated one of ExitPoints sell alerts?
This can only happen if you add a stock to your portfolio that has declined in value from your original purchase price by a percentage greater than the Stop Loss Strategy percentage assigned to that stock. For example, if you accept the Stop Loss default percentage of 10 percent on a stock you add to your portfolio but the current value of your stock has declined in value by more than 10% below your purchase price, ExitPoint will trigger a sell alert on this stock the first time you “Run ExitPoint” because the stock is showing a greater than 10% loss. Under these circumstances, you should strongly consider whether you should continue to own this stock considering its decline in value. Alternatively, you can create an “artificial” purchase price such as one that equals the value of the stock on the date you add it to your portfolio. This will allow you to accurately measure the performance of the stock and employ the ExitPoint strategies from the date you started following it using Exit
