Cross Trader was able to fix his sights on $LRW, bagging a 25.5% gain, entering at 2 and exiting at yesterday’s wick at 2.5. Cross Trader is able to maximize his profits by setting his take profit level as high as possible, impressively hitting peaks on a consistent basis.
Cross Trader is fond to use Elliott Wave Theory, with most of his technical analyses working around the technique. Cross Trader complements his style with the Fibonacci Retracement Tool to pinpoint corrective waves and identify possible entries. Contrary to most traders, Cross Trader rarely uses any Moving Averages in his sentiments. Instead, Cross Trader uses historical price action to plot key support and resistance levels. Cross Trader also keeps an eye on RSI and MACD indicators in his sentiments to further support his predictions.
Once again, let us congratulate this week’s featured trader: CrossTrader a.k.a @engineer_trader for spotting $LRW and showing the Technical Analysis masterclass of TeamPrime! Your FREE 1-Month InvestaPro access is on its way. Kudos ka-Investa!
Despite the markets taking an unexpected dip, ChristianSy was still able to keep his composure and continue sharing his sentiments to the investa community. ChristianSy showed his Technical Analysis prowess after managing to spot $CRYPTO:BTCUSD last February 18.
ChristianSy has precisely predicted Bitcoin’s high at the $58 000 levels. More interestingly, he was also able to plot key support levels using the fibonacci retracement tool to which Bitcoin bounced at the .65 mark around the $44 000 levels during this week’s reds.
ChristianSy seems to be comfortable with position trading and has an eye for trend reversals. ChristianSy also plotted retracement charts and buy zones for $PSE:TBGI, $PSE:VUL and many others. ChristianSy is adept at using EMAs, trend channels, and plotting trendlines to accurately catch trend reversals and get the maximum profit at the safest positions.
While other traders shut off their phones and laptops to distance themselves from the stress of bear markets, ChristianSy continues his trading hustle by charting pullbacks and possible entries after the bear market. ChristianSy isn’t just showcasing trend reversal insights, he also has a good share of fundamental analysis.
Once again, let us congratulate this week’s featured trader: ChristianSy @moneymaker888 for being a prime example of how to continue the trading hustle even during bear markets. Your 1-Month InvestaPRO access is on its way. Kudos!
We would like to congratulate our featured trader for this week: TSide
TSide was able to spot the $DITO, entering at 13.36 and targeting 18 in his forecast, taking home a 34.73% gain. TSide was able to eye the peak of the wave, exiting perfectly to maximize his profits before $DITO closed at 17.4.
TSide likes to keep his charts clean, utilizing only the EMAs, Volume, and the Price Action of the stock in his Technical Analysis. He uses the 10, 20, 50, and 100 day EMA in his charts to spot juicy trend reversals and enter trades with minimal risk and high upside potential.
TSide also has his eyes on $APL, $BSC, $PHA, and $AR, cycling between these stocks and finding the right opportunity to enter trades. TSide has his fair share of fundamental analysis, always sharing news about his favorite stocks in his timeline. TSide shows the Investa Community that trading doesn’t require complex systems and hundreds of indicators. TSide’s simple and effective trading style proves that traders can still be profitable with the simplest of techniques.
Congratulations once again to TSide for being the featured trader of the week, and kudos to his forecasts, fundamental analyses, and trading advice! Your Free 1-Month InvestaPRO access is on its way!

2. Platform.The participants of the PRIME Millionaire’s Cup will use the Virtual Trading Platform of Investagrams which tracks the real-time stock price movements in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE). The system automatically calculates transaction fees to make it more realistic.
3. Goal.The goal of the game is simple — trade your InvestaPrime account for the whole competition period and aim for the highest profits. The participants with the highest rankings while playing within the rules will be recognized as winners.
4. Starting Capital.Each participant will start with PHP 1,000,000.00 virtual money to trade.

6. Tradable Stocks.Participants can only trade the listed tradable stocks for this competition. The tradable stocks are filtered by our system and qualify as liquid and actively traded stocks. The initial tradable stocks list will be posted over the weekend before the competition begins.
You will be able to access the whole stock list once you are added to the Competition Room.
7. Diversification.To promote diversification and risk management, maximum exposure in a single stock can only be 1/3 or 33.33% of the portfolio. This requires the participants to buy at least 3 different stocks should they want to fully invest their portfolio. The system won’t allow you to allocate more than 33.33% in a single stock.
8. Buying and Selling Conditions. (For LONG positions). Participants now have two options when transacting. The first option is to transact using the current price of the stock and use market orders to buy and sell specific stocks at their real-time prices. The second option is to transact using our CONDITIONAL ORDERS. By using Conditional Orders, you won’t need to watch the market the whole day in order to transact in the market, you can now set AUTO CUT LOSS, AUTO TAKE PROFIT, and AUTO BUY ON BREAKOUT. You can also set these orders to GOOD TILL CANCELLED so that you order will remain active until your buy/sell price is hit. Watch this tutorial.
Buy – You can buy the same stock multiple times within a day. Sell – YOU CAN SELL THE SAME STOCK SIX (6) TIMES PER DAY.
In one stock per day you can sell TWO TIMES (2) at a PROFIT.
In one stock per day you can sell FOUR TIMES (4) at a LOSS. (cutloss)
9. Buying and Selling Conditions (For SHORT positions). SHORTING is now available for this competition. The same thing applies if you want to short a stock, you can transact using the current price or set conditional orders if you can’t keep an eye on the market. We understand that many may not know the concept of shorting which is why we created a video tutorial you can watch here: LINK TO VIDEO
Sell – You can open a short position on the same stock multiple times within a day. Buy – YOU CAN COVER YOUR SHORT POSITION ON THE SAME STOCK SIX (6) TIMES PER DAY.In one stock per day you can cover your short position TWO TIMES (2) at a PROFIT.
In one stock per day you can cover your short position FOUR TIMES (4) at a LOSS. (cutloss) FEES / COMMISSIONS – Same as long positions. COMPUTATION OF PROFITS – (Sell price – cover price)*shares – fees
For those who are not familiar on how to trade SHORT POSITIONS, here’s a STEP-BY-STEP guide to short selling stocks for this competition:
1. Choose your position from the market order type (long or short).
2. Upon choosing the short position, input the initial number of shares you want to sell.
Note: To short a stock, you have to SELL it first. Then to cover your position, you will need to BUY the shares back. To learn more please watch the tutorial: LINK
3. For closing the short position, select the short option in the market order type and input the number of shares you want to buy to close your short position.
10. Holding period for all stocks (For both LONG and SHORT positions).
We will be applying the twenty (20) minute time lock for taking profits to ALL STOCKS to avoid widespread and rinse-repeat trades.
There will be no time lock or restrictions when selling at a loss.
11. Revision of Tradable Stocks.Investa has the right to remove any stock from the list should it suddenly become too illiquid, abusable and/or delisted. Furthermore, Investagrams may also add new stocks on the tradable list as new stocks become more active and tradable in the market. All changes will be announced before implementation.
In such cases that a stock is to be removed, we will follow this process:
Investa shall notify all the participants via the Investa Platform’s notifications and group posts before the market opens.
If you still have the stock in your portfolio, you can sell it at any point in time at your discretion.
12. Initial Public Offering (IPO).All upcoming IPOs that will happen while the PRIME Millionaire’s Cup is on-going will be added on its SECOND (2nd) trading day.
13. On Dividends that will be given during the PRIME Millionaire’s Cup.
Stock Dividends that will be released by a company will be credited at the END OF THE DAY of the ex-date. Please note that stock dividends will cause price adjustments, so be aware if a stock you’re holding will release stock dividends.
Cash Dividends that will be released by a company will NOT be credited to your total equity as the current system is still not able to credit cash divs.
14. On SRO that may happen during the PRIME Millionaire’s Cup.
Stock Rights Offerings (or SRO) is offered to existing shareholders of a specific stock to purchase additional shares at a price lower than the current market price in addition to their current shares at hand.
SRO’s can be deemed good for longer-term investors. However, in the short term, may POTENTIALLY lead to a possible decline or gap down in the stock. So it’s important to always be aware of this.
Participants in the PRIME Millionaire’s Cup will not have an option to purchase additional shares from the SRO.
15. For stocks that will be detected by our WIDE-SPREAD DETECTION SYSTEM (WSDS). The Wide-Spread Detection System’s main condition is that the first (1st) best bid and ask should never be more than 2% at any moment during the open market session.
Fig 1. Real-time Market Depth / Orderbook showing the first (1st) best bid-ask data.
Example: $ATN (Refer to Fig. 1)
Given:
1st best bid = 1.11
1st best ask = 1.14
Formula:
X = (1st best ask – 1st best bid) / 1st best bid
Condition:
If X is greater than 2% then WSDS detects that the stock is wide-spread and can be abused.
Solution:
X = (1.14 – 1.11) / 1.11 = 0.02700 x 100% = 2.70%
Verdict:
Since X is greater than 2% then the stock is wide-spread as computed by the system.
The participant will be given a prompt that the detected stock is not tradable upon executing a buy or sell transaction.
The stock will again be tradable once the system detects that the spread of the 1st best bids/asks are below 2%.
16. On Trading Abuses.
Day trading opportunities on natural market moves are normal, but please take note that Investagrams will be on full-guard against participants that abuse illiquid opportunities. We want our winners to show real trading skills that are applicable in the PSE. Abuse of intraday spread trades will NOT BE TOLERATED. These rules are set to protect against the usual ‘rinse-and-repeat’ abuses that are mostly used in virtual trading competitions like this.
Any participant that has more than 10% of their profits from rinse-and-repeat wide spread, illiquid and other abusive trades will be penalized or DISQUALIFIED depending on the severity of their offenses. We will be able to validate this through our data and algorithms that verify the historical transactions of each participant.
Any form of hacks, cheats, and abuses shall not be tolerated and will have corresponding repercussions. Suspicious behavior that may not be specified in the rules may also be flagged as ‘abusive’ trading behavior. A warning shall be sent after Investa has reviewed and confirmed that the actions are against the integrity of the competition. All trade records shall be verified and those who fail to follow the rules will be disqualified.
Participants will only be given ONE (1) warning, any participant who has constantly repeated any abusive trading behaviors (whether illiquid stocks, system abuses, loophole abuses) will instantly be DISQUALIFIED. Investa has the right to review any suspicious activity, and if the behavior is deemed inconsistent with real-life trading then the said participant shall be disqualified.
Questionable Transactions. Questionable transactions will be cross-checked through the buy and sell transaction time and the traded stock. Stocks that have more than 2% consistent gaps in the one (1) minute timeframe within the transaction period shall be deemed invalid and Investagrams has the right to deduct the profits from the said transactions. It is normal to trade natural intraday moves and gaps can really happen, but if a participant is constantly trading stocks that have gaps within one (1) minute timeframe and their profits from these kinds of scenarios make up more than 10% of their total profits, then he/she will be automatically disqualified.
Fig 2. Example 1 for one (1) minute time frame gaps with buy (green arrow) and sell (red arrow) transactions
Fig 3. Example 2 for one (1) min. time frame abusable 2% gaps
Fig 4. Example 3 for one (1) min. time frame abusable 2% gaps
Investa will warn the participant that is proven to be constantly transacting with illiquid stocks with 2% one (1) minute gaps. Basically, any stock that has 2% spreads and do not really have a trend is included in this definition. After the first warning, any participant that is proven to repeat this kind of behavior shall be disqualified.
17. Trading halt.Stocks that are on a trading halt will not be tradable during the halt and will be tradable again during the announced lifting time.
18. Participant rankings. This is constantly updated every 10-minutes and automatically ranked by Investa system according to net profit gain/loss.
19. Deliberation period and the announcement of winners.At the end of the competition, at least one (1) week deliberation period shall be given to Investa team of moderators to verify trades and the confirmation of winners. The participants with the highest net profits will win. The resulting Top 3 participants after deliberation will be announced as the official winners.
19. Total prizes. Here’s the breakdown of PRIME Millionaire’s Cup Circuit 1 prizes:
Top 1 = PHP 50,000 // Lifetime Elite Access // Trading Cup Access // Hall of Fame

21. Modification and adding of rules. Investa has the right to modify the rules of the competition and add protective measures against any future abuses that may arise to ensure the integrity of the PRIME Millionaire’s Cup. Announcements shall be made if there are any changes. Rest assured, we prioritize keeping the competition as FAIR as possible to all participants.

Despite the PSE visiting Chinatown last week, The Data Scientist was still an active and helpful member of the Investa community. The bears weren’t strong enough to pull The Data Scientist down as he is continuing to uplift members of the community, especially those who have red portfolios.
The Data Scientist supplements his uplifting attitude by sharing his insightful observations to the community. The Data Scientist is very proficient at identifying key support levels using Fibonacci Extensions, spotting potential price corrections, tracking oscillator movements, and extracting crucial information from indicators.
What sets The Data Scientist apart from other members is that his observations are newbie friendly, incorporating terminology lessons on every observation post. The Data Scientist also helped out @mattdoesntstop ‘s Sagip Trader Program by sharing his free lessons on his timeline. The program was held last weekend, aimed to aid those who have been caught in the dip last week by giving out free lessons on his discord channel.
The Data Scientist’s quick lessons about terminologies such as Book Value vs Market Value, and Cash Dividends and Stock Dividends, really help the members of the community eliminate confusion and be better traders. All of these help the community to stay optimistic and continue trading their way out of the rat race.
Stay strong to those who have been caught in the dip, and kudos to The Data Scientist a.k.a @datascience for sharing his observations, informative lessons, and motivational quotes. Your FREE 1-Month InvestaPRO is on its way!
It is indeed a Happy New Year for Sherlon who showed position entry masterclass with his $ACEN forecast 29 days ago. Sherlon caught an entry in the support levels at 6 pesos and eyed $ACEN’s bull run to its all time high at 10 pesos.
This is no lucky feat as Sherlon caught a retracement 5 days after his forecast, entering another position at 6.15. Sherlon hit his target earlier than expected, initially predicting that $ACEN will reach the 10 peso levels by mid January.
Sherlon’s mastery of the Fibonacci Retracement tool makes him a very lethal position trader and helpful contributor to the Investa community. He further demonstrates his mastery with his trades in $DITO and $MM, entering $DITO initially at 6.2 and buying additional stocks at 6.31 after waiting for its retracement from 6.48. Currently, $DITO is at 13.12, earning him roughly 111% gain in 1 month from a single trade.
For $MM, Sherlon was able to catch a lower wick at 5.33 before the stock shot up to 6.25 where he intended to take profit. Sherlon really has an eye for entries, going into trades with extreme precision and always hitting the bottom of dips.
The nice thing about Sherlon’s trading style is that he always enters the bottom of the dip, levels where the price is unlikely to go further downwards. Of course, for the purpose of protecting against bear runs, Sherlon sets his stop loss right below the support level or fibonacci retracement level that he entered. This is why Sherlon rarely gets his stop loss triggered.
Sherlon is a patient trader, always waiting for the next entry in his charts. He is an excellent model trader especially for beginners, focusing on foundations of risk management and positioning. Besides the Fibonacci Retracement, Sherlon is also adept at using EMA 20, 50, and 200.
Using the EMA 200 as long term support and an indicator for a potential entry. There is not much to say about his trading style as he is a straightforward trader who likes to keep it simple, buy the dip and sell the rip.
Congratulations to those who were able to profit from breakouts of $ACEN, $DITO, and $MM, it’s a nice way to start your year. Kudos to Sherlon a.k.a Sherlo2075 for sharing his analysis. Your FREE 1-Month InvestaPRO is on its way.
