Playing & Trading Strategy

So. I will likely manage to lose all of my H$ (even the 2mill starter) in the next month. Do I just start another port? {nm} GuitarGenius7 Aug 12, 06:00

Go into the account settings on the top right of your webpage and reset your account vs. Starting another. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 12, 07:02

but the question is why would she lose all her money? id suggest trying harder to make it. if at 2.1M now, thats better than 2M islander Aug 12, 07:28

That was MY question... HOW are you losing all your $$?? Here's a link to some thoughts I said down the board.. Flash Aug 12, 08:24

Query: When trying to figure out future performance of a movie after OW, do you do your calculations of weekdays with an eye towards Paul2k Aug 11, 22:17

Why are star bonds capped at 250 mil per movie? taranev Aug 11, 02:51

because in the case of an actor going from a 500M film to a 1M indie, the price swing would be massive. starbonds are already big easy money islander Aug 11, 05:15

I really think it's time to bump it up to 300M, considering almost every year sees at least one 300M movie now. {nm} LanceStorm22 Aug 11, 07:14

This October marks the 10th anniversary of the current StarBond system, instituted at the worst of times for HSX's parent company. In that Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Aug 11, 08:58

So I need to get 3% out of a stock (or more, of course) in order to have a real GREEN day, right? KaylahCOV Aug 10, 10:57

I believe it's greater than 2% (since commission is 1% per transaction) stokersy Aug 10, 13:23

2.01% would do it if you traded twice (buy in AM sell at night.) It wouldn't be a very green day though. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 10, 16:05

eh. That's what I've been doing. buy in AM, sell in PM. I can come out with a little over 100K a day. Then I play openers... KaylahCOV Aug 10, 17:40

According to Nike.....Just Do It. All portfolios are eligible. {nm} Buy StarBondFund (EURO too) Aug 09, 23:50

Of course! UNIVX does it daily, although it does feel like classic cash is even harder than regular ports twoshenoudas Aug 10, 10:16

Ignoring opportunities to profit would breach the fiduciary duty owed to investors. (Note to HSEC: Investigate this!) {nm} DTXbro Aug 10, 16:26

Good points all, particularly DTXbro! Thanks, I've shifted strategy and will now be making more money every day! {nm} JohnTEQP Aug 10, 23:23

Last point....20-70 K per day helps offset a little of the commission. Don't feel guilty. {nm} Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Aug 11, 05:21

Good point, thanks Mr. Binns! {nm} JohnTEQP Aug 11, 18:39

Question about ticker [BWHPO8]. Confused about the price. circa_clown Aug 08, 15:59

Absolutely nothing. You are completely right. Let's hope it stays that way and we get a big bonus on the 5th! {nm} PRodQuanta Aug 08, 16:08

In many cases, everyone who is going to buy the warrant is already holding it and not selling. The price will probably Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Aug 09, 05:37

starbonds halt at 6pm EST today, they adjust tomorrow after 1pm EST {nm} alfpaul Aug 08, 14:30

Sweet info! Thanks. Is this an "every Monday-Tuesday" thing? {nm} EggNogAdam Aug 08, 15:21

Yep. Also, check out HSX dude's post adjust show on Tuesday (and sometimes pre adjust show on Monday) on the Stars message board. {nm} PRodQuanta Aug 08, 16:20

Very rare occcasion when it doesn't, like this past July 4th.....check the calender when holidays come up {nm} alfpaul Aug 08, 16:41

Can someone explain the strategy of buying or shorting just 1 share of a stock? {nm} Worlock Aug 08, 10:07

I've been inspecting the multi-billionaires. So... It's going to take either extreme luck or a complete decade for me to get over 900Mill? {nm} KaylahCOV Aug 08, 09:49

What are some great ways to play and trade? Shiku201 Aug 08, 09:03

buy long, low - sell high. buy short, high - sell low. Gamble on Opening Weekends. Don't mind losing. {nm} KaylahCOV Aug 08, 09:32

Here's some of my 'standard' tips when new players ask this question... Flash Aug 08, 10:14

oh my god... your advice makes my joke seen even MORE shallow than it was meant to sound... KaylahCOV Aug 08, 14:03

Well, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic in mine vs. your reply... but just wanted to offer some thoughts... Flash Aug 08, 15:23

no, honestly you give some pretty wicked advice! Keep it up! Between you and "The Ampersand" I am learning a lot. KaylahCOV Aug 10, 09:25

There is something wrong with IPO pricing system shark1 Aug 07, 09:34

good luck, no one can explain it! {nm} ndmaster Aug 07, 20:41

At the time of your post, 17mil shares were traded, and only 900k were short. The previous day's shares don't count because it was frozen. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 07, 21:19

To add, no one will argue that there is not a problem with the IPO system; however, this IPO (at the time of your post) was not a good exmpl {nm} PVL Admin aka Rocket123 Aug 07, 22:30

How much and how exactly does volume traded make the price move? {nm} Fitch3k Aug 05, 18:28

What a great question,...can't wait to hear a definitive answer! {nm} GLAMMGUY Aug 05, 18:48

I don't think u are gonna get a response to that question, the secret sauce belongs to HSX enterprise trading system, which isn't revealed {nm} karspov Aug 06, 07:02

What they said. What is known is there are "brakes" - there's a diminishing relationship between volume traded and price change {nm} RogerMore Aug 06, 09:57

This question gets asked often over the years... however, HSX has never answered this, since Flash Aug 06, 11:28

Also...if you think about it.... Flash Aug 06, 11:39

You make excellent points, and in your response to yourself as well. ndmaster Aug 06, 13:27

I have noticed in some instances when I've "re-shorted" a stock to retrieve my unrealized gains, that the price doesn't net out. Paul2k Aug 07, 20:52

Am I missing something? Why do top movers go down so quickly the next day? KaylahCOV Aug 05, 06:50

thats pretty much it. seems to me players are more and more short term (and shorter and shorter terms) these days {nm} islander Aug 05, 07:03

It's those darn daytraders...messing it up for all of us!!... Flash Aug 05, 07:49

How can a movie fund have 171k shares traded today and the price not move at all? {nm} Dorfman Aug 05, 03:58

Funds move based on what their holdings do, not their own volume {nm} alfpaul Aug 05, 04:12

Question. Don't derivatives generally go green at first? At least the first day or two after their IPO? {nm} Dorfman Aug 03, 16:56

Generally, yes because DMAC is a pretty good estimator. however, MOVIE.OW derivatives can go either way. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 03, 17:38
