Pantheon Weekly P&L and Inception P&L (3)

As you may recall, the week of March the 12th, we made the decision to implement an additional tracking method for a new specific pantheon portfolio with $100,000.00 is assets or based on our leverage model $400,000.00 in buying power.  Instead of tracking just Return on Capital Exposed, we have decided to also track Return on Assets Under Management (AUM) for this portfolio. By tracking both ways of performance, we can now model our trading styles to maximize our overall Return on Investment (ROI) while reducing our overall trade risk. 

Given this short week we did not think we would hold up our trading performance track-record.  To our surprise, with the erratic trading behavior of HEAT we knocked our performance out of the park.  This week has been our single best week ever.


Through this portfolio research, we have been able to determine a few key components to our theory. First, we should not trade more than $100,000 in risked capital. Second, we should not use leverage of more than 4:1. Third, we should not expose more than 35% of the risked capital. Forth, we must institute tight stop losses of .07 to .10 (this week we expanded our stops to .15 .25 )on every trade and finally, provided we continue to use a 1 min, 5 min and 15 min Fast and Slow Stochastic as our leading indicator before entering a trade, we can mitigate our trade risk helping us have more successful trades. Since we started this new portfolio, we have had an 82% success ratio of winning trades vs. losing trades.  

We look forward to continuing our testing for our model and bring you our results as they happen. 

Here is the inception P&L for our portfolio.

Our trading style is not for everyone and involves a high degree of risk.  We use every attempt to mitigate our risk by incorporating defensive trading measures to preserve our capital. We exercise tight stop losses and  never think we are smarter than the market.  We have learned to never trade on a tip or a hunch cause we never seem to come out on the winning side of the trade. We do our own research before we execute a trade.  If we are not feeling 100% before we start our trading day then we won't trade until we do.  We will NEVER force a trade just to make a trade. 

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.

March 23 Second Trade Report

March 23, Noon Trading Report Card

We have a constant scan for Most Up and Most Down running at all times and we were alerted to KITD.  In looking at the 5 minute chart, we noticed a longer term stochastic crossover forming a bullish trend.  We went long at $6.03 for a nice .42 gain.  We held this stock longer than we normally like to but we feel it was worth it.

Our capital exposed jumped from $8,250.00 on the day to $15,075. This lowered our return on capital exposed but increased the overall return on assets under management for the portfolio.

Based on the closing prices on March 22, 2012, we tweeted the following individual stocks to watch and trade both long and short into this mornings session. This list was calculated 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.

Both picks reacted as planned, with GALE defining its trading range within the first 10 minutes of the open. CVO is testing .30 swings moving into the second half of the first hour of trading.

UPDATE: At 3:02 PM I stepped back in long on GALE only to get stopped out for a .07 loss.  I waited for a new long confirmation and I jumped back in long at $2.32 and sold my entire position 17 minutes later at $2.61.

We did not trade IPSU nor did we trade DYN.  Both issues FAILED to meet the average daily volume requirement for our model.  Every single pick we made yesterday afternoon to trade this morning was 100% wrong. We had to become aggressive and change our strategy mid-stream to cover our losses.  We always use very tight stop losses to mitigate our downside risk because we know we will never be smarter than the market and it can turn at ANY moment.

Here is the outcome of this mornings trading session relating to our weekend watch-list. We got stopped out of FUEL from $1.47 to $1.42.  We implemented very tight stop losses because of the volatile trading history of each security.  COGO we were short at $3.10 and we covered at $2.80.  We covered early because of a stochastic crossover above 20, indicating a long entry signal. The signal failed and the stock continued its free fall and to drop to $2.69. We missed this extra movement. OGXI we were long at $13.81 and sold at $14.10.  the stock reacted just as we calculated.  Finally, HUSA we were short at $6.97 and we covered at $6.45.  

Our $100,000 portfolio had a maximum capital exposure of $34,525.00 and we grossed $10,600.00 overall.  This provided us a 31% Return on Capital Exposed and 10.6% Return on Assets Under Management for this newly formed portfolio.

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. We implement leverage at a ratio of 10:1. The capital exposed for this trade was $13,800.00 which we used to purchase 10,000 shares of VOCS at $13.80 for a total of $138,000.00. As of this report (2/29/2012 11:15am UPDATE we sold our entire position at 1:14 EST @ $14.30) we have not executed our sell order. We have a short-term target of $14.30 or $143,000.00 which should give us a $5,000.00 profit or 36% on capital exposed.
