November 2, 2011 - Trade Strategy (Re-Cap)

11/2/2011 Pre-Market Alert --(RE-CAP)

Please read below to see our pre-market set ups and picks.

Pantheon Traders incorporates a short-term trading strategy we coined the “Controlled Bounce”. This strategy is implemented by executing trades in stocks that have seen a market anomaly in their share price. We have found that historically a 25-30% next day reversal is more often than not the norm on a stock that has been the recipient of either a positive or negative percentage change of more than 11% intra-day. In order for this reversal to be confirmed to trade, the individual issue’s volume must exceed 2(x) average trading volume prior to the market close with a stochastic crossover above 20.00.

The following are the individual issues we identified for trading on 11/2/2011:

11/2/2011 at 11:00pm. 

With regard to our first trade, we felt the stock was confirming a stochastic crossover above 20.  When the move was not confirmed, we followed our tight stop loss then flipped sides on the trade and went short for an .80 move with a net .70 gain.
