Playing & Trading Strategy

Reset really ticks me off. I wake up at 3:30 this morning. FIgured I'd check reset. and the IPO from yesterday is down almost 4 bucks... Dorfman Jul 06, 08:59

Your timing was just off bud. I've seen this happen with IPOs before (but never caught it so right). Way up in less than a day... CrockettsMafiaYTD2014 Jul 06, 09:26

Actually, I was talking about Friday's IPO ad also about 2 days out. That day 1 movement is too sketchy for my liking for flips. {nm} CrockettsMafiaYTD2014 Jul 06, 09:32

yeah it was 30 mins after reset and said 3mil vol traded already. was down almost $4. Seemed like a sure thing IPO with 78m long and only Dorfman Jul 06, 13:27

Do you use the HSX Daily Movements site, I've noticed there is a change on many stocks in the morning when people wake up (US time), so mayb JDolphin Jul 06, 14:05

I had not seen that site before. I usually am up early morning US. I just happened to sleep in today. Thanks I will keep that one in min {nm} Dorfman Jul 06, 15:51

Also if you use Port Monkey you can click on the "Today" column value for a given stock to get its graph {nm} slappydavid Jul 06, 16:33

yeah I had it and then Chrome disabled it... {nm} Dorfman Jul 06, 17:19

Port Monkey still works in Chrome, after you install the TamperMonkey extension. I have updated the install instructions edzep - Port Monkey! Jul 06, 19:35

awesome I will check it out. I missed tampermonkey {nm} Dorfman Jul 07, 04:29

Check out the AARP fund dROI {nm} oneman Jul 06, 16:22

People say tammy sucks as a movie, but it's been a fun money maker ride the last 2 days. :) {nm} Dorfman Jul 04, 10:21

Then the B**CH came back and bit me in the butt Dorfman Jul 06, 09:02

Then you weren't paying attention to the weekend predictions and adjust amt - the 3 day would have to be 17.5 for that number to work and JDolphin Jul 06, 13:22

yeah. I got busy sat.. and didn't get to sell before cutoff. Dorfman Jul 06, 13:29

The 5 day but 3 day adjust was throwing me off too. {nm} Dorfman Jul 06, 13:30

I can't imagine with the reviews it's going to have legs, so it's probably going to drop again {nm} JDolphin Jul 06, 13:42

yeah. as I said.. On the plus side I can prbly hold my short haha {nm} Dorfman Jul 06, 16:05

So if i wanna figure out what a movie has to do to make current price this weekend, I should take current price... Dorfman Jul 04, 08:26

That's probably a rough way to gauge it... {nm} Flash Jul 04, 08:58

how would you gauge it Facto? {nm} Dorfman Jul 04, 09:29

take .... mishra Jul 04, 09:15

I hate feeling stupid, but i also like to be sure my thinking is right. SO if they think a movie is 35 for the 5 days Dorfman Jul 04, 09:48

($35 5 Day Estimate) - (11.7 Weds/Thurs aka 'previous') = $23.3 Fri - Sun {nm} RazorHawk Jul 04, 10:01

ok cool Thanks Razor! {nm} Dorfman Jul 04, 10:04

23.3 (Fri - Sun) * 2.7 = $62.91 + 11.7 (previous) = $74.61 ... $35 5Day estimate would mean a $74.61 adjust {nm} RazorHawk Jul 04, 10:05

oh yah.. I forgot to add back in the 11.7 {nm} Dorfman Jul 04, 10:08

Q - How often is the list of securities held by a fund updated? Daily? Weekly? {nm} JustaGuy Jul 03, 08:59

Probably depends on the managers....At least weekly on some like bonds. {nm} mishra Jul 03, 09:31

Since a fund is a portfolio, I would expect that any trades made would show withing minutes. {nm} edzep - Port Monkey! Jul 03, 10:07

Really really really hate playing on long weekends....never can get a good read on how much a movie will adjust.... {nm} JustaGuy Jul 02, 18:19

yeah It's a pain {nm} Dorfman Jul 03, 05:39

I should have asked before holding them, OWs cash out for the full 5 days this weekend? jytreberg Jul 03, 12:06

no, the OWs are only for Fri-Sun, given the language on the OWs daveart Jul 03, 12:43

Good work there and thanks blaze223 Jul 01, 09:29

Boo-ya! {nm} eyescovered Jul 01, 17:37

oh yes... you cowards who bailed on transformers OW can start wailing at any time now.... {nm} horrorfanatic Jul 01, 01:52

Felt like holding on was the best play even if it only did 94 95 opening....cause it could have exploded. {nm} mishra Jul 01, 09:10

Well i bought the OW and forgot to look at it for a week and a half does that help blaze223 Jul 01, 09:26

worst. weekend. EVER! i didnt bail on transformers OW....but what it gained me didnt even make up for the losses. i keep forgetting that ju horrorfanatic Jun 30, 18:51

I'll tell ya Horror, you might consider just skipping the OWs. I've had great success with non-dirivite trading but am terrible with OWs... Willroast Jun 30, 19:25

To be clear; I didn't just mean OW dirivitives per se, but weekend openers in general. If you keep getting burned, avoid what burns you. {nm} Willroast Jun 30, 19:28

Good advice - For some people it's the reason for the game, but if aren't good at it, cut you're investing to a small percentage {nm} JDolphin Jul 01, 00:46

I often don't play OW deriv - I'm happy with small consistent climbs, rather than large ups and downs - and Star Bonds, LOVE Star Bonds!! JDolphin Jul 01, 00:49

Just wondering...how can I know whether to buy or short delisting stocks? {nm} THGFan Jun 30, 15:22

Compare their MovieStock Price to their Actual Box Office on BOM (Box Office Mojo). Consider Commissions. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jun 30, 17:10

If its within .02 of expected delist...I wouldn't bother. {nm} mishra Jun 30, 18:50

Could someone remind me...can I use Limit Orders to sell when a stock falls to a certain price? Or will that trigger the autosale? {nm} JustaGuy Jun 29, 09:50

Limit Orders cannot be used as "Stop Loses" orders. A Limit Order to sell will trigger when the price is at X or higher. {nm} DTravel Jun 29, 09:53

THX!!! {nm} JustaGuy Jun 29, 09:56

But it can be set to buy at a certain 'low' price? {nm} JustaGuy Jun 29, 09:57

Can either set to buy at a lower price or sell at a higher price. doing the opposite doesn't work as stated. {nm} mishra Jun 29, 12:45

HA {nm} Dorfman Jun 29, 09:27

Would the IM be more accurate if used for just Friday totals rather than Thurs evening + Fri ? MattW Jun 28, 20:56

Useful, not accurate {nm} MattW Jun 28, 20:56

Many people who post about IMs on the main board already adjust for midnights the way you describe {nm} RogerMore Jun 29, 11:09
