I'm Looking forward to a volatile trading month. Discipline is going to be key to my success for the month of April.
Oh my...For a second day in a row picks on our watch-list did not react as anticipated and we incurred multiple stop losses. On April 3, we announced our picks for this mornings session. This watch-list was calculated based on the closing prices on April 3, 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.
MRGE(L) - Reacted Better Then Planned
MITK(L) - Got Stopped out. Flipped sides for a short term profit.
IVN (SL - Did not trade. reset order and did not get filled.
HEAT started down 5% in the pre-market and it looked perfect for quick short and cover. WOW was I wrong! After getting stopped out twice, I finally flipped sides and began to profit on the erratic swings. the differential between the LOD and the HOD was so large that once I found my rhythm the potential for profit became much easier. MITK I got stopped out of early and flipped sides in an attempt to recover my losses from the stop.

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.

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.
