Featured Trader for the Week: Hisuka (@b0yipit)

Even if the local index may look like it is consolidating from here given its current price structure, various names have emerged. Hisuka (@b0yipit) was able to depart the world of HunterxHunter to further solidify the use of his Nen to spot potential market leaders such as $CNPF or Century Pacific Food, Inc. Hisuka a.k.a. @b0yipit is an active member of the Investagrams community who endlessly spreads his knowledge on the local market with the use of Technical Analysis.

Even if this stock is quite illiquid, it still presented opportunities on the daily chart. Moreover, this stock is nearing all-time high levels. During its consolidation phase, the sideways movement was supported with dried-up volume. Upon its breakout of the underlying base, the move was supported with above-average volume. 

A breakout of the 15-peso area was an ideal buy point as it was the breakout of the parallel channel line supported with above-average volume. It is a low-risk, high-reward trade, as the stop loss levels for the said breakout point could be below 14.5 (-4%), and the take profit areas could be the structural resistance at 17.5 (17%). Another tranche opportunity also emerged when the stock formed a small base ranging from 16 to 16.5-peso area. The breakout of the said mini base was also a good opportunity to add to your position as the stop loss levels for the said pivot area could be below 15.8 (-4.5%).

Looking at the bigger picture, the monthly chart of this stock is also pleasing. The previous breakout of the 15-peso area proved to be significant as it broke out of the long-term parallel channel line along with immense volume. 

It is best for $CNPF to consolidate below the All-Time high levels with dried-up volume to form a constructive base. A break above the 19-peso area in confluence with massive volume is superlative for this stock to continue its dominance. 

As Hisuka (@b0yipit) stated in his post, everyone is indeed entitled to their own opinion. Everyone may view a chart differently from that of the latter. If you have formulated and followed your concise trading plan, then there should not be any problem. Take it with a grain of salt, the decision, in the end, must come from your own bias. Relying on the opinions of other individuals will lead you to financial ruin. Great traders such as Jesse Livermore and Nicolas Darvas have experienced this the hard way. 

Congratulations to those who were able to maximize the up move of $CNPF. Lastly, kudos again to Hisuka a.k.a. @b0yipit for sharing his trade analysis. Your FREE 1- Month InvestaPRO access is on its way!

Investagrams Featured Trader of the Week: Mivan

For this week, we would like to congratulate our featured trader: Mivan a.k.a. @mivanl!

For our featured trader for the week, we will be showing how he was able to spot $ACEPH before it broke out. His trade idea is influenced by Mark Minervini’s ways of trading the financial markets as seen in his analysis of the said stock. 

He first determined the importance of identifying a consolidation pattern before entering the trade. It is ideal for a stock to form a base first before it moves higher. The longer it took to form the base translates to more chances for a stronger up move. Indeed, the bigger the base, the higher in space. 

Moreover, he also highlighted that the volume was relatively lower than its historical average. It is expected for a consolidation pattern to exhibit such features to signify that it is unquestionably forming a proper base.  

Also, he highlighted that there were overshoots of the initial breakdown of the support area, yet it bounced back immediately. That signifies buying pressure on the said stock in those areas.

He also mentioned that the initial breakout was supported by massive volume. Furthermore, on the day of the breakout, it closed strongly as there were no wicks present in the candlestick. 

It is a low-risk trade, as the downside for a breakout could be a cut below 2.3-2.35 (-3% to -5%) and potential take profit areas at 2.7-2.8 (conservative) (12% to 16%).

Indeed, being patient enough to wait for a trade where all the variables from your system align is the epitome of professional trading. Setups like this could last from a few weeks to several years. The key to trading the financial markets is to be very particular with your stock selection. As they say, it is up to you to decide whether you are a bored wealthy trader or a thrill-seeking gambler (Minervini, 2020). 

Congratulations to those who were able to maximize the technical swing of $ACEPH. Lastly, kudos again to Mivan for sharing his execution. Your FREE 1-month InvestaPRO is on its way!

What You Need to Know About Short Selling in the PSE

There has been news going around lately that the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) might finally allow short selling in 2018, resurrecting a plan that has been in the works since 2009. Whether or not the plan will push through is another story, but if it does, you need to be ready.

In this article, we’ll explain the basics of short selling, our advice, and how you can prepare yourself for the shake-up that might be coming in a few months.

What is Short Selling?

Short selling, also known as taking a short position, is when a trader sells a stock at a higher price before buying it at lower price—sell high, buy low. It’s just the opposite of taking a long position, where you buy low and then sell high.

Now, we know what you’re thinking. How the heck can you sell a stock before buying it??

The answer to your question is simple: you borrow shares. In other words, umutang ka muna. Sell those borrowed shares first. After that, you just have to buy shares to replace the ones you borrowed.

What Short Selling Means for PSE Traders

Most traders in the PSE always take the long position simply because it’s the only option available. For years, we’ve meticulously researched and developed systems to find and profit from stocks that are expected to increase in price.

We’re used to ignoring stocks with prices that are about to go down. After all, you can’t make money with those, right? Well with short selling, you can!

If you know how to use both the long and short positions, you can make money from stocks that are going up and from stocks that are going down!  You will essentially double your opportunities in the stock market. Of course there are also risks involved, but if you keep learning and stay disciplined then there’s no reason why you can’t succeed.

Our Advice

In the stock market, those that keep learning, trying new things, and improving themselves are the ones who succeed. None of us know for sure if short selling will really be allowed in 2018. But no matter what happens, you should still read about it and prepare yourself if you haven’t already.

Besides, you’re already doing the work anyway. The same research will tell you if a stock’s price will go up or down. Why not give yourself the opportunity to earn from both scenarios instead of ignoring half the opportunities?

We’re not saying you have to put 50% of your portfolio in the short position—not at all! After learning about short selling, you might even decide that it’s just not for you and that would be fine. But either way, you need to understand it first. Even if you don’t end up using it, you need to know what it is and how it affects other traders and the markets.

Try Before You Buy!

They say experience is the best teacher. So even before short selling is allowed in the PSE, you can already start practicing! See and feel what it’s like to trade from the short position using the Investagrams virtual trading platform. Just follow the 3 simple steps below to activate the feature:

Step 1: Go to your trade settings.

Click on your profile icon on the upper right of the homepage and select “Settings” from the drop down menu. When you’re on the Settings page, click “Trade” on the left navigation.

Step 2: Turn on the short selling feature.

Simply click on the toggle button to turn on the short selling feature. Your new settings will be saved automaticallly.

Step 3: Start trading!

When you go to your virtual trading account, you will now be able to choose if you want to trade from the long position or the short position.

Simple, right?

We hope this helped you understand what short selling is and how you can be prepared if the PSE allows it in 2018. If you have more questions, just leave them below!
