Playing & Trading Strategy

I'm probably about to find out, but: OW is not a write off (like Call/put) if BO doesn't make it? it's just a loss of the difference? {nm} Ryan_Stewart Apr 30, 13:28

.OW cashes out at whatever the box office was, so it is a much lower risk way for players with smaller ports to get in on big productions. {nm} arf Apr 30, 13:55

Lower capital investment....risk increases alfpaulytd2012 Apr 30, 14:13

True, but if .OW halted at the same time the stock did, it would nearly guarantee gains each week. {nm} arf Apr 30, 14:17

Don't get the point and its moot anyway b/c they don't halt at the same time alfpaulytd2012 Apr 30, 14:29

Correct....if you're wrong, you don't lose everything {nm} alfpaulytd2012 Apr 30, 14:15

Here are some top historic $$ Reset Plays momentum858 Apr 29, 15:46

The Reset Method arf Apr 29, 16:07

"historic reset plays" = no context to why they moved and shouldn't be thought of as they always move alfpaulytd2012 Apr 29, 17:05

Reset plays are packing strong 2nd and 3rd wind attempts setting new patterns (BIG HSX$$$) momentum858 Apr 29, 15:39

I'll add: Don't go all in at reset, though, dozens move, and only a few will continue to move. Best time is reset +1 to reset +2 hours. {nm} arf Apr 29, 15:46

Black Panther BPNTH another strong recent reset - each week seems like more of them $$$ {nm} momentum858 Apr 29, 16:04

Is it typical for you guys after several days of strong growth to level off for a few days? {nm} EthanHunt Apr 26, 08:13

Not always...but sometimes it happens... I get nervous if I'm not in the "green" every day..and I work towards that end... {nm} Flash Apr 26, 08:40

12 week total, it defines the warrant better, as well as a giving solid de-list date. {nm} arf Apr 25, 14:29

"The Warrant will cash out after its 12th weekend of release." So it is Cume after actuals of the 12th weekend. ... Buy StarBond Fund 18 Apr 25, 16:57

Before the 12 week, didn't BW's cash out once theater releases stopped? Some would go on a long time in long legged movies? {nm} arf Apr 25, 22:01

Can you set a buy order in advance if you can't get on when a stock becomes active? {nm} friar22 Apr 24, 22:44

The advanced trader and I don't get along. I believe the security needs to be currently active for it to set up the trade, -more- arf Apr 24, 23:32

This ^^ is correct. The security needs to be 'active' in order for Advanced Trader to work.... {nm} Flash Apr 25, 08:42

Found out the Advanced Trader DOES work when a stock is halted (previously active, but trading stopped for wknd), as the only loophole. {nm} arf Apr 25, 21:59

Thanks for the responses. Would be good if you could set a buy order per ipo {nm} jammas Apr 26, 03:42
