SmartStops.net is an online service for helping stock traders and investors decide when to sell portfolio positions. SmartStops, which just launched last month, creates sell triggers that are calculated daily based on a patent-pending approach that uses market conditions, historic trends and other parameters. If a stock or ETF falls below this criteria, SmartStops sends an email alert to let you know you should seriously consider selling a stock or ETF. And, if your online brokerage offers SmartStops as TD Ameritrade now does, SmartStops can be set up to automatically sell holdings.

SmartStops is free for up to three ETFs or stocks and costs $9.95 to $39.95 a month to monitor a larger number of holdings. Check out SmartStops.net for more info and to sign up.

Looks interesting. Cheap and pretty straight forward to use. Wish I had this service last fall. It could have saved me a lot of pain. We will see how their sell calls do, but it does make me feel better knowing someone else is watching my portfolio along side of me.
