2. Platform. The participants of Trading Cup 2021: Ready Set Trade 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.

To know more about Investa vTrade, click here.

You can access the platform through the web, or download the app on Google Play or App Store.

3. Goal. For this year’s Trading Cup, you have two goals:

  • Goal #1 is simple — trade your 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.
  • Goal #2 is to represent your guild by making the Top 20 to receive special points to help your Guild win an extra PHP 100,000 on top of the overall prizes.

4. Starting Capital. Each participant will start with PHP 1,000,000.00 virtual money to trade.

5. Trading Hours. Weekdays from 9:30AM – 1:00PM. This is the current PH trading hours and will be changed once the pandemic quarantine is lifted. Meaning, you can’t trade during off-hours and on weekends.

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. You will be able to access the whole stock list once you are added to the Competition Room. The initial tradable stocks list will be posted over the weekend before the competition begins.

Penny Stocks will NOT be included in the list of tradable stocks due to their susceptibility to rinse and repeat abuses. Stocks that have become come from PHP 1 levels and close at .99 or lower by the end of the week will be taken out of the list. This is to avoid any rinse and repeat abuses and deductions/disqualifications.

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 in their portfolio. The system won’t allow you to allocate more than 33.33% in a single stock.

8. Guilds. For the first time in Trading Cup history, we have now really made it possible for you to REPRESENT YOUR GUILD. Since this is a new feature, we wrote an entire article on it and its implications to the Trading Cup. Read it here: Our Newest Innovation: Investa Guild

9. 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 your 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)

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Revision of Tradable Stocks. Investagrams 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:

  • Investagrams shall notify all the participants via the Investagrams Platform 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.

13. Initial Public Offering (IPO). All upcoming IPOs that will happen while the Investagrams Trading Cup 2021 is on-going will be added on its SECOND (2nd) trading day.

14. On Dividends that will be given during the Trading Cup 2021.

  • Stock Dividends that will be released by a company will be credited at the MORNING BEFORE THE MARKETS OPENS 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.

15. On SRO that may happen during the Trading Cup 2021.

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 Trading Cup 2021 will not have an option to purchase additional shares from the SRO.

16. 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 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%.

17. 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.
  • Read more about ‘rinse-and-repeat trading abuse’ here and why this is not characteristic of a realistic trading strategy.
  • Any participants 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. Warning shall be sent after Investagrams 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. Investagrams 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

Investagrams 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.

18. 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.

19. Participant rankings. This is constantly updated every 10-minutes and automatically ranked by Investagrams system according to net profit gain/loss.

20. Deliberation period and the announcement of winners. At the end of the competition, at least one (1) week deliberation period shall be given to Investagrams’ team of moderators to verify trades and the confirmation of winners. The participants with the highest net profits will win. The resulting Top 1 to 100 participants after deliberation will be announced as the official winners.

21. Top 10 Winners. Those who make it to the Top 10 will be REQUIRED to do a defense of their trading strategies used during the competition. This is basically a presentation where you will share your biggest winners, losses, and learnings during the Trading Cup. This has been the tradition of the Trading Cup for the past three years where the winners will share with the community how they made it to the top.

NO DEFENSE = NO CASH PRIZE.

PHP10,000 worth of the cash prizes for the Top 10 will be coming from RCBC Securities. The Top 10 would need to open an account with RCBC Securities and the prize will be credit to the account. The PHP10,000 is withdrawable. The Top 10 will have until June 30, 2022 to open an account, otherwise the cash prize from RCBC will be forfeited.

What to do during Red Market

People say that there’s always opportunity in a crisis. This belief also applies to the stock market, wherein recessions or just red markets in general are believed to be good sources of investments that can blow the roof once things begin to stabilize. 

Now, does this belief have any bearing? Short answer is yes, but finding opportunities in a red market depends greatly on some factors. Here are some things you need to consider before getting into a red market frenzy.

Background Check

It wouldn’t be a good idea to simply buy anything in a red market. It’s important to remember that such situations are comparable to battlegrounds where you can’t fully know what to expect. Some companies behave differently from others which means some will gain and some will lose and the best way to make more accurate forecasts is by researching thoroughly.

 Finding companies to invest in involves a process called fundamental analysis, and an important part of this process is researching about the company you want to invest in. You have to know what type of industry they are in, if they’re relevant or not within and after the crisis, and make decisions accordingly. You also have to make sure that the company itself is managed correctly to ensure that you can expect better.

Protect Your Buying Power

While it can be tempting to think that putting more money can lead to higher rewards should a position you bought at its lowest makes a reversal at some point in the future, you must still remember to not go all out. Setting a reasonable budget is a crucial means of dealing with a red market frenzy because always remember, “You are wrong until the market proves you right,” and it might just bite you back if you don’t spend wisely.

Instead, protect your buying power enough to always be liquid when necessary. Do not spend all your money on one stock so that you’re still safe in case things get out of hand in the market

Diversify your portfolio

Connected to the last point, it’s good to spend your money on multiple other options because just shelling it out on just one or two can mean lesser chances of success. It’s a good idea to utilize different options from different industries, find some that complement or oppose each other so that you can minimize the chances of your losses to as little as possible.

A good example in the context of the pandemic would be to buy stocks from the food service industry, which is severely affected by the current situations, and complement that by buying from the medical industry, which is at an all-time-high. This way, whatever happens to either position, should the food service industry improve and the other experiences difficulties, you still balance out the outcome.

Red markets, for all their potential, can bite you back if you’re not careful enough. Where there is opportunity also lies risk, so consider these factors before making decisions with your money. Not only will you protect your portfolio, you might just improve it.

Know how to protect and grow your hard-earned money during any market environment. Learn from the Top Global & PH traders & investors in Investa Summit 2021.

Why the Stock Market Always Beats Inflation

Did you know that there’s only one way to beat inflation? 

That’s through investing your money so that it grows over time. But if you’re keeping your money safe in your piggy bank at home, over time that money would actually be worth less than when you first dropped it in the piggy bank. 

Inflation is the inevitable reality where costs of goods and services increase as time goes on, thus limiting the purchasing power of the money you currently own. Hanggang saan aabot ang 20 pesos mo? Well, in a few years, not very far. 

Investing in the stock market is one of those smart ways to invest your money to beat inflation because stocks outpace inflation, thus protecting your investment from the risk of inflation. Based on historical data, stocks have consistently delivered higher returns that exceed inflation.  The Philippine Stock exchange index has shown an average growth rate of 7.5% per year since 1988.

Why does it beat inflation?

  1. It’s simple, you own a portion of a real company, with real products and services, manned by real human beings. None of it is fake or imaginary. Therefore, as economies grow over time, so do the businesses and the companies you bought shares from.  
  2. Stocks beat inflation because, to account for the rise in costs, those companies increase their prices. Often, companies pass on this increase in cost to the consumers by increasing their prices over time. 

The stock market has shown the wonderful magic of compound interest to those who invest in it. This is why it’s smart to invest consistently and for long periods. 

Inflation is inevitable, but losing to it isn’t. Learn to invest and grow your money today so that even your 20 pesos now can push you forward in the future. 

Beat the Inflation by getting into the NEXT GEN MONEY! Learn it from the Top Traders & Investors in #InvestaSummit2021. Join now!

NEWS FLASH: Your Children Are Not Your Retirement

For decades, Filipinos have always held the belief that having kids equals being rich once they get old. If you ask your grandparents, they are probably the ones who firmly believe that their children are responsible for them during retirement. This is embedded in us due to the Filipinos’ deep-rooted family-oriented culture. Thus, they themselves have no retirement funds, savings, or investments that can sustain them during their geriatric period. 

Now, before you pass on this ideology to the next generation, we’re here to tell you that YOUR CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN. Relying on others for your retirement fund is too risky, considering that at retirement age you may not be able to keep working if your children cannot provide for you. While you’re still working and earning money, here’s what you can do to secure your retirement and be financially free:

1. Plan for your retirement as early as you can

Think about your retirement fund even when you’ve just started working. Set aside a portion of your income consistently for this. Your 30 years in the workforce means 30 years of income to be invested and saved, to survive the next 30 years of retirement.

2. Practice risk management on your finances

As you grow older, take fewer risks when it comes to investing. The fewer years you have earning money, the less risky your investments should be.

3. Only have kids because you want kids, not because you think they’re your ticket to a secure retirement

And here’s the most important tip: to really think about the reason why you want to have kids. If it’s to treat them as part of your retirement plan, then you should not be having kids at all. Children are your financial responsibility, not the other way around. This is the reality that you have to face when you’re thinking about building your own family.

Filial piety does not have to mean having to provide for one’s parents during their retirement.
