Playing & Trading Strategy

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

have star bond adjusts happened yet for today ? {nm} EggNogAdam Aug 08, 14:12

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

and if you're wondering how everyone knows when everything happens, we use the Calendar up there... tealfan Aug 08, 16:34

omg there's a market calendar? hahahaha dang it. thanks. no, I didn't even know that was there. *schooled* {nm} EggNogAdam 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

This is called a 'radar' stock....most players (including myself) Flash Aug 08, 10:17

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

Mmm...not necessarily... Grory showed everyone she could do it in a year... she started Flash Aug 08, 10:05

ARGH! *choke* {nm} KaylahCOV Aug 08, 13:57

Get busy...your year's a'wastin! I know...amazing feat that she did it in a year, hmm?? Flash Aug 08, 15:21

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

fastest way, eh? cool. Good to know. I really ATE IT last weekend with CBALN and I'm finding this weekend hard to call. gonna see what's KaylahCOV Aug 05, 10:57

*shakes his fist at those meddling kids* {nm} tealfan Aug 05, 07:59

:D {nm} PVL Admin Aug 05, 21:02

you're not missing anything, really. just traders trading. BTW- odd profile pic... {nm} ndmaster Aug 06, 23:38

oh god! I thought I chose the cropped pic! LOL! Thanks for the hint! (siiiigh) {nm} KaylahCOV Aug 07, 10:56

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

Fund managers are instructed not to make trades on the day of IPO. Depending upon time zone, the manage will start trading today. Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Aug 05, 06:01

Oh ok. i thought it was a combination... thats cool {nm} Dorfman Aug 05, 06:15

Make Suggestions: What are some super helpful RSS feeds I should snag? {nm} KaylahCOV Aug 04, 09:16

BOM and CS I just acquired... {nm} KaylahCOV Aug 04, 09:48

Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety (although they both have multiple, so pick and choose), LA Times (again, multiple feeds), {nm} Paul2k Aug 04, 09:58

NY Mag/Vulture, Collider, Twitch, /Film, Dark Horizons, HSX Dude {nm} Paul2k Aug 04, 09:59

holy cow. ...all of those? Dang. I'm going to be reading a lot of news. Ha! I've only been looking at KaylahCOV Aug 04, 14:12

Oh, these are all RSS feeds for movie news. You'll find that when a director or an actor is attached to a movie, the price of the stock move Paul2k Aug 04, 14:25

I appreciate the knowledge! Thanks again, P2K. {nm} KaylahCOV Aug 05, 06:44

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

Funny thing is that WE are the ones that help create the strike prices. Generally, they are near to the "current" adjust prices when the Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Aug 04, 09:41

Guess which theme movie fund is #1 in value (and not in top 25 in wideley held?) Buy StarBondFund (EURO too) Aug 03, 11:43

Oooooh, I was going to reply sarcastically about WBROX but you killed my response before I even had a chance. Well played. {nm} PVL Admin Aug 03, 16:56

Lets be sarcastic about those who do NOT invest in fuinds that work. EURO gets no respect. Pity the Fools who ignore it. {nm} Buy StarBondFund (EURO too) Aug 03, 20:06

When does BOM update? I am east coast and I can never remember when trading begins and when these news pages are updated... {nm} KaylahCOV Aug 03, 11:26

I read the HELP section and I didn't see an "operating time" area. I think the exchange is open on Pacific Time but I don't know the hours. {nm} EggNogAdam Aug 03, 14:05

The exchange runs 24 hours a day, is set to PST, and "resets" the up/down movement counters daily at midnight PST. {nm} Paul2k Aug 03, 15:40

BOM is unafilliated with HSX...if you're asking about when they get their box office numbers, it usually happens between noon and 1 PM PST Paul2k Aug 03, 15:44

Thanks, Paul2k. I guess I was specifically wondering if industry news comes out on ... thursdays? Monday evenings? KaylahCOV Aug 04, 03:49

News usually rolls out anywhere between 9 AM and 6 PM PST, Mon-Fri (business time in L.A.); but that's not hard and fast. {nm} Paul2k Aug 04, 06:57

heh heh heh ! {nm} GuitarGenius7 Aug 04, 08:00

Arbitrage? blinkuldhc Aug 01, 19:20

Star Bonds can be arbed. 121Jigowatts Aug 01, 20:29

I think my example is pure arbitrage -- 100% probability of making a profit doing this trade sequence with derivatives.... blinkuldhc Aug 01, 20:46

If i Learned correctly.... Definitely not Pure Arbitrage Dorfman Aug 03, 17:04

Not my understanding srrichardson Aug 03, 23:16

yeah its not ARB unless its already made more money than what the stock or bond is trading at {nm} Dorfman Aug 04, 07:30

I disagree, it IS 100% arbitrage....(Dorfman et al.) blinkuldhc Aug 04, 21:25

It's a "Convergence Trade"... i.e., arbitrage blinkuldhc Aug 04, 21:36

No, a convergance trade only involves 2 assets alfpaul Aug 04, 23:04

alfpaul -- convergence involves two POSITIONS, not two ASSETS - nm blinkuldhc Aug 09, 20:31

I see your point srrichardson Aug 04, 23:10

Something's wrong with Rocket's PVL monthly winners post below, I click on it and nothing comes up... Is it just me?? {nm} slappydavid Aug 01, 18:15

Fine to me, you've won two leagues... congrats {nm} nicheno Aug 01, 18:55

Worked fine for me....maybe u need to upgrade IE or switch to Firefox? {nm} alfpaul Aug 01, 19:00

I use IE9, had some troubles before, but nothing like this... {nm} slappydavid Aug 01, 19:10

I see it on both IE9 and Firefox alfpaul Aug 01, 19:17

Nothing except for the post's header and the forum links. Weird, I haven't seen this before, and I check the forums all the the time {nm} slappydavid Aug 01, 19:22

Yeah, I think its your browser then alfpaul Aug 01, 19:25

I'll check out firefox then. Thanks for you help! {nm} slappydavid Aug 01, 19:27

Works fine with firefox... :) slappydavid Aug 01, 19:40

Firefox -- now you're equipped to check out legendary Port Monkey! edzep Aug 01, 19:54

Awesome! I'm in! Thanks! {nm} slappydavid Aug 01, 20:22

I know this is not related to this board... Apologies... {nm} slappydavid Aug 01, 19:42

The only thing that's wrong is that I came in third...I'll get you next month (you know who you are). :) {nm} PVL Admin Aug 01, 20:40

Why are halts on Saturday? Shouldn't they be earlier? {nm} touchthekiwi Jul 30, 02:37

They _should_ be. The .OW's are to make up for having moved the halts (in a bid for more Satruday player activity) {nm} edzep Jul 30, 06:40

ah, makes sense {nm} touchthekiwi Jul 30, 10:30

The halts used to be on Saturdays years ago... which was nice.... Flash Jul 30, 07:46
