GETTING STARTED
What is Portfolio Runner?
PortfolioRunner is a platform providing automated stock exchange trading recommendations and investment portfolio management tools. With PortfolioRunner you can get personalized trading recommendations from a set of various investment strategies – technical, fundamental and social. In addition, you can manage and reduce investment risks with our proprietary portfolio risk management platform.
Is it really free?
Yes. For the time being the service is absolutely free of charge. You may have noticed the “beta” sign right next to the PortfolioRunner logo. This means that the service is fully functional but we’re planning to implement some more enhancements and get additional feedback to make it even more effective.
Can I buy or sell stock on PortfolioRunner?
PortfolioRunner is not a broker, nor linked to any broker or dealer. Your portfolio on PortfolioRunner is virtual. You need to set up an account with a broker in order to buy and sell stocks.
Can I choose my own stocks to run risk management on?
Yes, you can add stocks to the pool of recommendations. Then, press “calculate” button and the system will calculate the exact amount of shares you need to buy. Sometimes the amount can be zero, which means that it’s not recommended to buy the stock.
Can I receive multiple intra-day recommendations?
PortfolioRunner is not intended to assist intra-day trades. The service is oriented to mid and long term risk management. All the recommendations are generated automatically once a day (after the stock exchange closes) and provided to users at the beginning of a new trading day.

STRATEGIES, RECOMMENDATIONS, RISK MANAGEMENT
How do I get recommendations?
In order to start receiving personalized recommendations from Portofolio Runner’s strategies you need to create a user name, set up your virtual portfolio and pick some strategies from the pool.
I can’t see any recommendation
Make sure that you created a portfolio and selected at least one strategy from the list. In addition, make sure you have at least $1,000.00 of cash available in you virtual portfolio.
Please mind that some strategies don’t produce recommendations every day. You can subscribe to more strategies or just wait. If you’re still not sure –don’t hesitate to contact our customer support team by email or phone.
How can I view historical performance data of different strategies ?
Here are some options you may want to use:
1. Login to your account with PortfolioRunner. On My Portfolio page in Recommendations section click the name of selected strategy or click "Find your strategy" link to see more strategies.
2. Login to the Demo Account. Each portfolio within the Demo Account represents a 5-year simulation of particular strategy. Select the portfolio with the appropriate name and go to performance page (click "Performance" link).
