Playing & Trading Strategy

Oh, I thought you meant the up and down part. Unfortunately, this seems to be the standard for post ipo of high priced movies. It doesn't

make sense to us but it's going on for a long time and HSX isn't going to change it or tell us the logic behind it (I'm assuming there is some kind of computer algortithm controlly this)

I'm calling shenanigans on a certain high priced super hero movie.. Dorfman Feb 17, 08:32

Inconsistent ..... Irregular ..... There's a Solution for that. Dr. Sanjay Gupta Feb 17, 09:00

Agreed. I spent a significant amount of time Sun & Monday trying to model it and couldn't... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Feb 17, 09:55

yeah and then today it changes completely.. lol {nm} Dorfman Feb 17, 12:14

Don't try to pull the curtain back. It's a patented formula of some kind "the secret sauce" of HSX, as it were. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Feb 17, 18:21

Hey - and that's okay :) It is a game (for us) after all :) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Feb 18, 21:10

Players playing the players who are playing the players who have been played by the players. {nm} DTravel Feb 17, 13:32

Seems to be following the general post-ipo movement - going up and down. Just a much bigger commission if you play that. {nm} JDolphin Feb 17, 13:35

No - 2M shares will move it 6 bucks but 24M will move it 2 bucks... weird. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Feb 18, 04:05

were those all long, all short or a mix? {nm} tealfan Feb 18, 12:06

How many trades in a given time period is also a factor. 10M shares traded in 1 hour will not yield the same results as 10M in 10 hours. {nm} DTravel Feb 18, 12:57

I've tracked this on some big ipos and it still doesn't make sense, but It's one of those HSX things you have to learn about and accept {nm} JDolphin Feb 18, 13:14

Agreed JDolphin :) {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Feb 18, 21:08

All long - at the time there were very few (and unchanging) short numbers... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Feb 18, 21:08

I think it's just a simple tiered system... 170M IPO'd, day 2 took 20m to hit that and that's when... Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Feb 18, 21:10
