To Begin, Click "The Promoter Effect-Intra-Day" Tab.




With the recently completed testing of our "Controlled Bounce" strategy, we have been working on several trading strategies and have picked one to begin testing as a new trading model. 

Beginning September 3rd, we will begin testing a new trading strategy we are calling the "Promoter Effect".  This new strategy will start tracking (in virtually real-time), top stock promoters and document their winning and losing promotions.  Our agenda is to gather enough statistical data over then next 21 trading days so that we can build an algorithmic formula that is database driven for our members to use in their everyday trading regiment.

We will be using www.ThePUMPTracker.com (Disclosure: our parent company DMS Global Media owns this site) to track the data for this test.  We will also be adding an additional layer as a filter that will track the pre-promotion price, which is the closing price of the stock the day before the promotion begins, the opening promotion price, the high print for the day, which will also track the exact time the print happened, the low print of the day, which will also track the exact time the print happened, the closing price, the total volume traded and finally the increase in volume compared to the average daily volume, over the previous 10 trading sessions.

We will be testing this strategy under the following criteria:

  • No single trade can exceed $2,500.00
  • Our total position(s) cannot exceed more than 5% of the average daily volume in any issue.  
            (We will be testing a new system in October that will track no volume stocks about to be promoted.)
  • We will not trade a stock denoted with an "E" or "Q"
  • We will not trade a stock over $3.00 per share (for this test only)
  • We will not under any circumstance carry an overnight position.
  • We will be as close to the first trade of the morning as possible.
  • We will institute a 10% stop loss on all trades and ratchet up to lock in profit. 
  • This test will only track the winning performance of the first entry price to exit price. No round trips will be calculated.

We will be building this data into a statistical algorithmic model. This model will forecast with a degree of certainty each promoted stock and based on these symbol(s), provide our members a percentage from 0% - 100% of having a winning or losing trade. The output will be based on the current promotion and the stock symbol and provide our members the entry price of the stock and then ultimately the exit price of the stock with a percentage probability for success.

During our testing period, we will be tweeting our trades on both @Pantheontraders and @ThePUMPTracker as well as providing via email, daily and nightly status reports to our members. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that this strategy is in BETA mode and involves a HIGH degree of risk.  Further, it is the policy of Pantheontraders.com, its parent company (DMS Global Media, Inc,), its sister sites as defined on www.dmsglobalmedia.com, its officer and directors, its management, employees, affiliates and consultants not to trade for our own accounts any securities used in this test.  We firmly believe that no matter how innocent, any trade executed on our part during this period would constitute front running and would cloud the statistical outcome.
