I'm Looking forward to a volatile trading month. Discipline is going to be key to my success for the month of April.
On April 1, we Tweeted our picks for this mornings session. This watch-list was calculated based on the closing prices on March 30, 2012. This list was compiled by using the closing prices from NASDAQ and the NYSE percentage up and percentage down securities. We then used a MetaStock filter overlay of volume, share price and percentage increase on average daily volume over a 24 hour period. When we announced PCBC, we corrected the symbol error to PNBC.

SBSA (S) - Got Stopped Out For $1,000.00 Loss (Flipped sides twice to attempt to cover loss.)
SBSA got away from me at the open and I got stopped out of my position for a $1,000.00 loss. I quickly flipped sided for a long entry at $7.00 per share and almost immediately sold at $7.25 for a quick profit. I then traded the position from the short side from $7.22 to cover at $6:71.

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.This is not an offer to buy or sell securities. This information is used to track the performance of our own portfolio ONLY and is not to be construed as investment advice. Trading involves a high degree of risk and should not be attempted by people that are risk adverse. Don't invest what you can't afford to lose.
