Let’s give a round of applause to buMalo for being this week’s Featured Trader!
buMalo is an active trader who has been with the Investagrams community since 2018. He is very active in the community and frequently shares his trades.
A few days ago, our featured trader posted his re-entry trade in ABA. A hot stock in the local market recently, ABA has been providing investors handsome returns as it has been making new 52-week highs.
As the stock was going up, buMalo looked for a place to re-enter his position and found a small pocket as a chance to make a momentum play. He re-entered on the break of 1.42 as he felt that momentum was still strong for the stock. With RSI still being above 70, this is a good sign for momentum plays as it means there is still strong demand for the stock.
TECHNICALS OF THE TRADE
Technically speaking, ABA has proven to be a strong outlier in the Philippine Stock market. While others are falling, it has shown strength as it continues to move upwards strongly. It came from its bottom near the 0.85 area and went into a frenzy once the long-term downtrend line was broken. Most of the consolidations were short-lived and rarely experienced strong downward volatility. The stock is currently looking to break the 1.56 and 1.88 levels, the next major resistances it has to take out in order to reach new all-time highs.
buMalo is confident that prices will continue to rise as different momentum indicators are still pointing upwards, in addition to Net Foreign Buying still going strong.
FUNDAMENTAL CATALYSTS
AbaCore is a holdings company that owns subsidiaries involved in Finance, Real Estate, Gold mining operations, and Coal mining operations. Despite earnings still not yet near pre-pandemic levels, investors are eager that the company is going to turn its situation around as the company itself has announced that it will be distributing dividends again, and will even add in shares from one of its subsidiaries – PRIDE. The market has taken this as a good sign, and demand has picked up for the stock pushing it to higher prices.
WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT MOVE?
As the move has already happened, it would be wiser to wait for what ABA might do next before buying into the stock. It is still unknown whether the stock will continue to rise to higher levels or not, so it’s best to wait for a consolidation in order to look for a better risk to reward trade. As the local equities market is still facing the same major problems, it would be advisable to trade lightly should you ever want to participate in ABA, especially if you haven’t established a base at lower levels.

No matter the field that we’re in, everyone needs some time off to relax and unwind. The weekends are the perfect time to do so since we don’t have to worry about work.

Let’s give a round of applause to Bibam for being this week’s Featured Trader!
Bibam is an active trader who constantly shares his trading plans to the community. No matter if it’s in the morning, afternoon, or very late in the evening, our featured trader constantly scouts the markets for quality trades that he can take.
A few days ago, our featured trader posted an awesome trade in SOL futures. SOLUSDTPERP is the ticker for the futures contracts of SOL. This asset precisely tracks the movement of SOL and allows you to trade with higher amounts of leverage. However, be warned that leverage is a powerful tool only in the right hands. Using leverage should be done with caution as it can be disastrous for traders who are not yet capable of handling the added risk.
TECHNICALS OF THE TRADE
Technically speaking, the majority of cryptocurrencies are in a downtrend right now. Thus, it would make more sense to look for shorting opportunities as the probability of a downward move is higher. Bibam was able to distinguish this and saw the rally from SOL into resistance as an opportunity to look for a short. Through the use of wave counting, Bibam pinpointed where to start looking for an entry signal. Once a reversal candle formed, it became the chance to enter. The stop loss was then based on the same reversal candle and the profit targets were based on the retracement levels of the previous rally.
THOUGHTS ON DAY TRADING
Trading the intraday charts of cryptocurrencies is a common endeavor among more intermediate to advanced traders. The same set-ups used in daily charts can also be used as technical analysis is applicable on any timeframe. However, you would still need to adjust when switching to trading smaller timeframes as there are some characteristics that you would need to study and take note of. One example is the time of the day you are day trading in. Since a bigger portion of the market’s liquidity will come from western regions, it would make sense that more liquidity is available during the day in their time zone. Day trading isn’t impossible to learn, but you still need to put in the time and effort in order to become successful at it.
WHAT CAN I LEARN FROM THIS
For those who are not yet as experienced, but are serious about becoming great traders, posts like the one from Bibam can often let you learn a lot. Even if you don’t want to day trade, there are still some key takeaways that you can apply to bigger time frames. One of them is the understanding of trends. Prices often don’t move in straight lines. Thus, we need to learn how to take advantage of retracements and pullbacks. In the post featured, the retracement was taken advantage of in order to establish a short position once the counter-trend movement started to revert back to the main trend.
You can learn a lot by simply looking over someone else’s trades and asking yourself “what can I take and apply to my own trading system?”

What is the hallmark of great traders? Professionals and legendary traders alike don’t win all the time, and neither are they immune to losses. What sets the good traders from the rest are the abilities to know the probabilities of a trade and to skillfully manage risks and rewards.
Being able to take in the information the market gives and know what scenarios are more likely to happen is a skill that can only be obtained through hard work and experience. You need to put in the productive hours to be able to gauge the markets at a higher level. The same goes for risk management, as you work towards becoming a better trader, you start to learn how to more effectively minimize your losses and maximize your gains.
We understand that different skill levels have different tools needed when it comes to risk management, which is why we came up with the InvestaCalculator to help traders of all levels. With this tool, you can calculate and manage your risks no matter your current skill level as a trader!
Let’s take a look at how the InvestaCalculator can be used.
The Smart calculator that helps those starting out
As was mentioned, risk management and knowing the probabilities of a trade are skills that are obtained and honed through experience. However, to help newer traders, the InvestaCalculator offers a tool called the Investa Smart Calculator so that newbie traders can have a guide on where they can set their cutloss and target prices.
For example, if you wanted to trade SCC as a new trader, you would just need to input the stock and the price you want to enter at. The Investa Smart Calculator will determine some cutloss and take profit targets based on the stock’s current trend, volatility, and sentiment. Keep in mind, however, that this should not be taken as financial advice as the values calculated are only based on an algorithm that provides estimates. Furthermore, you would still need to know if it is a good trade to take and if you are entering at a good price. Make sure to only use it as a crutch if you are new to trading and you are still learning how to set exit prices.
Seamlessly manage your risk while charting
For new and veteran traders alike, the InvestaCalculator’s Risk Management Calculator will surely come in handy. Accessible even while you chart, you can use some of our pre-made risk tolerance settings or input your custom amounts to calculate how many shares you need to buy to adhere to your risk management rules.
On top of being accessible even with your charts up, it’s really easy to use. If you’re newer to trading and have yet to determine your own risk management rules, you can use some of the pre-made risk tolerance settings. If you’re a more seasoned trader, this tool still comes in handy as you can customize the setup and input your risk management protocols. Once everything is set up, just input your portfolio amount and the different prices you want to buy, cutloss, and take profits at to know how many shares you should buy.
Bottomline calculations
Should you want to know what the end results will be for your transactions, you can also use the InvestaCalculator’s Buy & Sell Calculator to know certain information such as what your break even price will be and how much you will earn or lose should you buy or sell at a different amount from your pre-determined targets.
If you used the RIsk Management Calculator, this will be easy as you would just click
the “Copy to Buy & Sell Calculator” and you won’t need to input any other information. You can also change the values should you want to know the different results if you were to execute buys and sells at different prices.
As you can see, using the InvestaCalculator will let you have a more seamless trading experience as you can make the calculations needed to manage your risks on the same page as your charts. With the different tools available, you’ll surely find this useful whether you just started trading or if you’re already a professional!
Aside from the InvestaCalculator, having an InvestaPrime subscription lets you gain access to a lot of other powerful tools and educational material that can help you progress no matter your current skill level.

Let’s give a round of applause to HULYO for being this week’s Featured Trader!
HULYO has been a member of the Investagrams community since 2020 and has been an active member of our community. Along with being an IT automation engineer, HULYO also actively trades and is very interactive with other traders.
A few days ago, our featured trader posted his thoughts for PSE:SCC. One of the stronger stocks in the local markets recently, SCC mainly operates through the production and sale of coal.
Amidst the poor market conditions, HULYO still looks for opportunities, and one of the opportunities spotted was PSE:SCC. As PSE:SCC rose from its bottom, it wasn’t safe from market drawdowns as shareholders experienced sell-offs. However, it is still noticeable that the uptrend is still intact, and the stock appears to have formed a continuation pattern.
TECHNICAL STANDPOINT
In terms of price action, PSE:SCC is in a clear uptrend despite the rough market conditions. Without making anything too complex, higher highs and higher lows are continually being established. It isn’t in the strongest of uptrends as drawdowns from the tops are wide, but the fact that it still is in an upward general direction while others are falling isn’t something to take lightly. As with what HULYO mentions in his post, the recent breakout could signal that it is receiving enough demand to boost it towards higher targets. One of the biggest supply areas that it needs to take out would be around the 40 area, with the next one being its ATH level of 50.
FUNDAMENTAL STANDPOINT
PSE:SCC focuses mainly on coal production. With coal prices rising rapidly in the commodities market due to supply disruptions, PSE:SCC stands to benefit from increased margins as they will be able to sell their inventories at higher prices. Although the shift toward renewable energy has started, coal is expected to remain one of the sources of energy production for the next few years. It is forecasted that coal prices will stay elevated for a foreseeable future.
What should be my next step?
As we have constantly been mentioning, the current market environment is not suitable for newbie traders. Even though PSE:SCC has been strong thus far, shareholders will still most likely experience a lot of volatility. There will be a lot more opportunities later on not just in this stock, but in others as well. However, should you want to trade PSE:SCC it would be more advisable to wait for retracements and to keep your positions light. Risk management becomes even more essential during bad market conditions like the one we are experiencing now.

Let’s give a round of applause to TwoFiveNine for being this week’s Featured Trader!
TwoFiveNine has been a member of the Investagrams community since 2018 and has been very active as he has already posted more than a thousand times, always sharing his thoughts on views on some of his trades.
A few days ago, our featured trader posted his trade idea for PSE:SPNEC. A new addition to the PSE, PSE:SPNEC debuted strongly during its first month of trading. However, even this stock wasn’t safe from the sell-down that occurred across the whole market.
As PSE:SPNEC opened at a price of 0.95 per share, it easily gained momentum and rose by over 146%. From its peak, the stockfell by as much as 37% as bad market sentiment took over. Finding support around the 1.5 area, TwoFiveNine saw an opportunity to do a bounce play. As PSE:SPNEC retested the 1.5 support level, he saw an opportunity to play the bounce as prices broke out of their most recent daily highs.
TECHNICAL STANDPOINT
In terms of price action, PSE:SPNEC looks to be consolidating gains from its previously strong rally. Although it is uncertain whether this will be a reset for an uptrend continuation, its big trading range offers opportunities for traders to do some swing trades.
TwoFiveNine recognized that the bounce could only be a swing trade opportunity, so he made sure to lock in gains whenever price reached different resistance levels. As prices reached his first target, he made sure to lock in some gains already.
As prices continued higher, he already sold all of his shares as prices reached a bigger resistance level. TwoFiveNine played it smartly as during times where bearish sentiment is rampant in the market, it is highly advisable for traders to lock in gains as early as they can. Although it isn’t impossible that strong breakouts can emerge, the chances of one happening are low while most of the market is strongly moving lower.
FUNDAMENTAL STANDPOINT
PSE:SPNEC is a renewable energy power generation company that mainly constructs and operates solar power plants. The company produces electricity from its plants and sells it to customers or on the market. As demand for renewable energy keeps on increasing due to global warming, the company is in a good position to benefit from the likely global shift towards more sustainable forms of energy.
What should be my next step?
As was mentioned, most traders should have already locked in gains as prices are already at resistance levels. Should you want to look for a breakout play, it would be advisable to wait for market conditions to stabilize and for bulls to regain some control. If you are looking for a swing trade, it would be best to wait for prices to come back again to support levels. However, keep in mind that the risk to reward for the play will most likely be lower the next time a bounce from support occurs.
