Seasonality and Reversals Off of Ytd Lows

[cash123]

An August update re: Seasonality and reversals off of ytd lows:

As this project developes in it's rudimentry form, i am looking for improving upon
it's profit and loss results.My basic parameters are:

1 Liquid traders having retrenched 40% from their last 90 day highs and near their ytd low
2. Separate into 3 groups: 0-99, 1.00-1.99, 2.00-3.99
3. Define reversal as 2 upticking sessions(higher closing price) confirmed in the third day
by either opening or at sometime during that seesion trading through the second days
close.
4. A trade is 1.5% of account
5. Stop loss set immediately 10% under entry.
6 .Half of position open sell 25% above entry

My 0-.99 list:

ANO in .63 current .63
ASTI .72/.98
CHLN .99/1.03
CYCC .81/.83
DSTI .30/.30
NBY .86/.92

KIPS 2.30/3.08
QTWW 3.05/3.23
RDNT 2.63/2.71
ZA 2.77/2.87

There were 3 stopped out positions.

The recent volatility has me wondering about original stops and whether they should be
increased. Also, should they be different within the sub groups.

From July's candidates there were some staggering upside moves quickly
ABAT, IRE, KNDI, NFEC, SCEI, VALV, GBE, GRO, CCRT, NEWN, USBI

Capturing these high flyers with trailing stop profit orders ensured a tidy profit overall.
It seems reasonable that off of ytd lows there will be more of the same notwithstanding
a meltdown.I've noticed that the larger the retracement the better the results,so that is
another filter to maybe recalibrate.

This work in progress has some features I'm sure are flawed and I would like others
with a greater understanding to comment on the pros if there are any and the cons which which I'm sure there are many :-)

New positions made today;

DYAX 1.42
EDAP 2.30
LLEN 3.45
PM .26
SPMD 2.24
TSPT 2.84I

I must say I enjoy getting long near the bottom with a HINT of a possible reversal.

When I first saw you post about penny stocks I though that its usual gambling in which beginners are tempted.

But I must admit the model is impressive. I never really traded in penny stocks and its good to read your posts.

there were 4 stopped out positions including DLGC

The sub group 0-.99 was by far the worst performers with 6 of 16 being stopped out.
They will be eliminated henceforth.

the middle group 1.00 - 1.99 had 8 out of 32 stopped out...that's doable
The last group was the most promising 2.00-3.99 had only 4 of 25 stopped out.

Since the stopped out positions represent a loss of .15% of the account
a few high flyers managed with trailing stops should suffice.Once the +25%
threshold has been met the trailing stops are placed 10% under that days close.
