Two ways to call it
Every prediction starts on a ticker page or in the Prediction Arena. From there you choose how bold to be.
Direction call
Just pick bullish or bearish. Land on the right side of the move and you earn the direction point.
Price call
Set the exact closing price you expect. The closer you land to the official close, the more points you stack on top of the direction point.
One prediction per ticker per session. You can refine your call any time before the session switches — the latest version is the one that gets scored.
The session clock
Each exchange runs its own clock. The switch happens at 09:00 local exchange time, every trading day.
Call today's close
Predictions placed before 09:00 exchange-local time target the close of that trading day.
Roll to next session
Later calls automatically target the next trading session, so there is always an open round.
Benchmark locks
The exchange's official closing price becomes the answer key for every call on that session.
Scoring runs
Once close data is processed, points, accuracy and bullseyes land on your public profile.
How scoring works
Your score has two ingredients: one point for the right direction, and up to nine for precision.
Direction point
Awarded when the stock closes on the side you called — up for bullish, down for bearish.
Precision points
Price calls only. Measured by how far your target lands from the official close, in percent.
Even a miss on price can still earn the direction point — no call is wasted.
Ranks & labels
Points accumulate on your profile forever. Ranks mark the milestones on the way up.
You expect the close above the reference price.
You expect the close below the reference price.
A perfect 10-point call — precision plus direction.
Session still open, or close data not processed yet.

Frequently asked
The short answers to what most predictors ask first.
Can I change my prediction after placing it?
Yes. You get one prediction per ticker per session, and you can refine it any time until the session switches over. The latest version is the one that gets scored.
Do I have to set a price target?
No. A direction-only call is always allowed, but it caps at 1 point. Setting a price target is what unlocks the full 10-point scale.
When do my points show up?
After the exchange publishes its official close and the data is processed. Until then the prediction shows as awaiting — that is normal, not an error.
What happens on holidays or market closures?
Every call targets the next actual trading session for that ticker's exchange. If the market is closed, your prediction simply waits for the next session.
Do community predictions change the StockInvest analysis?
No. Predictions are user-generated signals and stay fully separate from the StockInvest technical analysis, signals and forecasts.
Ready for your first call?
The next session is always open somewhere. Pick a ticker you know and put a number on it.
