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. For this trade, we implemented a leverage ratio of 4:1. On 3/5/2012, the capital exposed for this trade was $11,750.00 which we used to purchase 10,000 shares of KERX at $4.70 for a total of $47,000.00. On 3/5/2012 we executed a sell order @ $4.93 at 1:13pm. We hit our short term target of $4.93 which gave us a $2,300.00 profit or 20% on capital exposed.
