Shut the front door! I didn't realize that I could place limit orders! All this time I didn't know {nm} PRodQuanta Jul 28, 13:12

I spend half the day trying to make up money that the reset trading breaks me on each morning since I'm not up at that hour.... PRodQuanta Jul 28, 13:13

You could also have reversed on the stocks that were probably gonna go up/down on reset b4 u went to sleep {nm} alfpaul Jul 28, 13:57

Yeah, I know and I sometimes do that. However, that doesn't always work either. {nm} PRodQuanta Jul 28, 14:35

careful though, stop loss does not work {nm} lapuckfan Jul 28, 16:16

Thanks lapuckfan. I also just read that in the FAQ section. That would be awesome! {nm} PRodQuanta Jul 28, 16:20

I would like to know more about limit orders. Is there a thread on a certain page I should read or should I just ask for help? {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 28, 14:24

Very bottom of this page under Help, go to Glossary then Limit Orders. I don't find them particularly effective for reset trading because MojaveMeg Jul 28, 16:35

Never played Openers before. Please help me to make sure I get the idea - GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 09:49

More or less the right idea! Just know that the price doesn't halt until Saturday at 6pm PT and you will get cash out on Sunday midday. {nm} PRodQuanta Jul 28, 09:53

saturday?? Wait... is it OW calls and puts that halt on Friday, then? {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 10:01

correct. {nm} perply1 Jul 28, 10:17

Is it stupid to let my WO earnings (if positive) sit till Monday or Tuesday? To hang onto them (cause I'm away)? {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 28, 09:56

There is generally a sell-off after the adjust on Sunday and many (most?) openers will drop by Monday morning. It's possible to set an MojaveMeg Jul 28, 11:05

Again, Thank You. Is there a specific time when trading is allowed on openers on Sunday? GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 11:37

The adjust happens around mid-morning Sunday - as soon as the ERC estimates come in. The joke was always that MojaveMeg Jul 28, 12:39

a wealth of information. Thank you. This is the first time I've ever bothered to ask questions. Wish I had asked earlier. {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 12:51

Check the Announcement Board for previous MovieStock Adjusts, which are usually between 10-11 am Pacific. Antibody Jul 28, 14:13

Yes... many times you can log in on Saturday...get the weekend #'s... and change positions if you need to before the openers halt! Flash Jul 28, 10:20

well said! And thank you for some 3rd person info that I didn't have, myself! {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 28, 11:31

Are there any apps available for HSX? News, forums or actual trading? {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 03:52

nope, no apps. tho you can use hsx.com/mobile islander Jul 28, 04:54

might have to give that a go. thanks. {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 09:43

...Speaking of old players... I see "Bonnie" on the LTD board...(TWO BIG ports!) Bonnie come back and post once in awhile! Flash Jul 27, 19:39

yes, I miss Bonnie, also OTT, who I think is happyone (?); I miss both of your posts {nm} daveart Jul 28, 09:18

I don't play anymore except to restack my port sometimes. hope you are well. {nm} chipshot Jul 28, 14:32

I don't know who that is. ;) - starrynut Jul 28, 18:42

Aww...soo good to see ya! I miss the old crew around here! You should come more! Your port is a KILLER! Congrats! {nm} Flash Jul 29, 08:49

How does Funds share price works? Scallywags Jul 27, 19:20

The price goes up by the movies, bonds, etc., they earn on various films, etc.. Flash Jul 27, 19:33

Thanks Flash Scallywags Jul 27, 19:41

Additionally, a fund is valued at H$1 for every million of net value. Each theme fund manager starts with H$20 million and the MojaveMeg Jul 27, 21:11

Nope...I've not ever been a fund manager...but MojaveMeg who posted in your thread here has! :-) {nm} Flash Jul 28, 07:11

Is it better: buy higher # of cheaper shares or lower # of expensive shares? GuitarGenius7 Jul 27, 14:27

um, you buy neither alfpaul Jul 27, 15:10

if you had to though alfpaul Jul 27, 15:13

If you're strictly daytrading (which I don't suggest for small ports) I would stick with Flash Jul 27, 19:17

I appreciate your input! Thank you! {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 02:59

You're welcome. Good luck. {nm} Flash Jul 28, 07:12

how do you arrive at 3% to be the goal? Thank you! {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 03:00

Commission both ways alfpaul Jul 28, 08:45

openers... I can't usually play on FRIDAYS. Should I buy my openers on Thursday, then? {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 28, 03:42

Sure...why not? If you think they'll adjust up..long'em.. if you think they won't.. short them. Flash Jul 28, 07:13

thank you {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 28, 09:31

uh... one question on put/call. KaylahCOV Jul 28, 14:28

Ugh what a crappy day.. Down half a mil {nm} Dorfman Jul 27, 12:41

Hang in there, everyone has a bad day every once in a while... {nm} slappydavid Jul 27, 20:17

Just one thing to say "Plastics" {nm} laura1818 Jul 28, 08:17

What are adjust (if any) and delist dates for a movie that goes wide after 1 week of limited release? {nm} unifex Jul 27, 03:31

I choose to help you help yourself. Answer is in the Glossary under ADJUST and CASH OUT. {nm} osmosis2003 Jul 27, 03:46

Thanks Osmosis - I had tried the glossary but missed the detail. Got it now. {nm} unifex Jul 27, 03:51

Glad I could help. Entry really should say weekends, not weeks since delist is on Monday.(tuesday after long weekends) {nm} osmosis2003 Jul 27, 03:58

Commission Free Trades? MarkN Jul 26, 20:14

sorry to say they went away long ago...maybe a couple years ago? {nm} tealfan Jul 26, 20:16

no commission free days at all any more sadly. also, halt time has changed, and there are new OW warrants (new in the past year) {nm} islander Jul 26, 20:17

Thanks for the updates. Very helpful. MarkN Jul 26, 20:30

If it was '97 you joined, then you remember Saturday halts back then also...and "Scapey The Goat" as well... :-) Flash Jul 27, 07:32

Hah! Yes, I forgot about Scapey the Goat. I also remember significant lag times on trades . . . MarkN Jul 27, 12:34

Yes, I remember all those players... Flash Jul 27, 19:22

Amoxy, Banzai, and Redhead are still around but maybe not playing. We've been hanging out in another forum since some MojaveMeg Jul 27, 21:18

Chest! Whoa good to see you! amoxy Jul 27, 21:31

Chest Rockwell, I thought you fell off the face of the earth. {nm} Redhead (aka Trish) Jul 27, 22:44

I don't know what happened to the inside of my message, but here it is again. Redhead (aka Trish) Jul 27, 22:54

Hi Trish. Hope you are well. Maybe I'll hit up the new board and say hi soon. been too long :) nm chipshot Jul 28, 14:37

Okay, I signed up, but I never got the confirmation e-mail, so I can't post wildly inaccurate information on that site. (nm) MarkN Aug 04, 06:17

My strategy Shiku201 Jul 26, 14:33

Well, with a small port, you must think "short term" I would not invest in any movie that is further out than 30 days... Flash Jul 26, 16:42

Hybrid strat. as329105 Jul 26, 23:02

There's many ways to make $$ here...many trading styles... however, my point was only that Flash Jul 27, 07:29

well said! {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 28, 11:49

YEA {nm} Shiku201 Aug 08, 08:57

Aren't several Starbonds supposed to adjust today? JTURT for example? {nm} The-EFNP Jul 25, 14:17

Starbond adjust day is on Tuesday, come back tomorrow ;) {nm} karspov Jul 25, 14:23

Ah-ha! Thank you. {nm} The-EFNP Jul 25, 14:38

I'm assuming that guy's name is Juan Turtle? What's he been in? {nm} GuitarGenius7 Jul 25, 14:39

How can I figure out what I'm going to pay for a transaction? KaylahCOV Jul 25, 09:37

You will get 70,000 x current price x .99 If current price is 52.3, then you should get about 3.624 M H$ {nm} StarBondFund (Buy Euro 6) Jul 25, 09:43

commission is 1% of the value {nm} islander Jul 25, 10:40

oh wow. that's not complicated at all. ha! Thank you! {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 25, 14:05

sweet action. I just learned something. "Take THAT, Brain!" {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 28, 15:20

Playing openers is one of the best way to maximise your capital... karspov Jul 24, 22:13

I am terrible at figuring odds on that. {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 25, 09:36

No. 1 with $65.8 million ELDIABLO Jul 24, 10:10

Yes, however this is probably a better post for the Movies Board... Players Board is mainly for teaching newer players the tips of trading.. {nm} Flash Jul 24, 15:30

sweet. Maybe I'll take a gang of old men with me to the theater this weekend and help the second weekend income. {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 25, 09:40

How Often Do You Check Your Port? How Often Do You Make Trades Daily? EggNogAdam Jul 21, 03:47

Everyday throughout the day {nm} Dorfman Jul 21, 04:21

may I inquire what your prefered news source is for up-to-the-minute film talk? {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 05:59

several times throughout each day...and my preferred news source is the Movies board...one-stop shopping :) {nm} tealfan Jul 21, 08:32

you mean the forum? all I ever see is speculation and jibberish. eh. {nm} PBJdotCOM Jul 21, 09:38

stuff from Variety, THR, CS, DL, gets posted here pretty much as soon as it gets online...just have to dig through the other stuff :) {nm} tealfan Jul 21, 12:36

i dunno... once a week... {nm} PBJdotCOM Jul 21, 09:38

I check it several times an hour. Not that I am OCD, but bored at work (I am my own boss) ndmaster Jul 21, 10:56

epic! I wish I could. My boss would chop off my ears if she caught me even THINKING about FireFox durning the work day. {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 12:46

*during {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 14:02

I've started to realize that I need to play daily and sell everything at night. Start over each day. I can't play on Weekends. {nm} KaylahCOV Jul 22, 09:09

More frequently than I'm prepared to admit. {nm} Jane_Citizen Jul 22, 21:44

Fund Cash Out Antibody Jul 20, 17:53

Sorry OlegMax, with 2 delists BONDS slipped into 25th....and has about 1M more shares held :) BUY EURO folks {nm} Buy BONDS 17 Now (EURO Too) Jul 21, 05:18

Try this again... Qestion for this weekend. Dorfman Jul 20, 08:39

are you watching for news and buying on those posts? you could have made a very small fortune yesterday {nm} lobogotti Jul 20, 08:46

I made 2m on dark tower.. Though I wish i had bought JETSONS! Dangit didn't expect a jump like that from news of a script. lol {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 08:50

did you buy when it IPO'd ? {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 20, 09:00

NO i shorted Dark Towere 2 days ago when it was at 97 when news came about Universal pulling out of it {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:24

hahahaha. win. may I inquire what your prefered news source is for up-to-the-minute film talk? {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 03:43

yesterday a port like yours should have been playing DARKN, BROSE, SLOWM & COYKP. those are low lobogotti Jul 20, 09:06

playing CAPAM.OW is a bit of a risk. at current price it would eat up all your funds for until Monday and there is a possibility you could lobogotti Jul 20, 09:20

yeah i just have it on radar just in case there is some kind of jump or fall in price. Its too "right at the money" i think right now {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:26

Always compare the RS vs MTC to get an early gain, unless u are really sure, calls and puts are usually long(small downright) {nm} karspov Jul 20, 08:51

I made a decent amount when they IPO'd and i bought them all long. BUt then of course I sold everything for HPOT. Cause well duh lol {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 08:52

OW are basically wildcards unless they are no brainer like OW potter,with your port size,u may invest in openers for fluidity ;) {nm} karspov Jul 20, 08:55

thanks {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:26

I tend to work on percentages rather than money.... srrichardson Jul 20, 09:21

This is true. I like percentages. I did short pooh's OW. Dorfman Jul 20, 10:29

99% on 40k is half of 20% on 400000 though...and with options, you run the risk of losing 100%. {nm} freeflyjobo Jul 20, 11:01

And 99% on 40k plus 20% on 360000 is even more! srrichardson Jul 20, 12:30

Understood - makes sense. Thanks! {nm} freeflyjobo Jul 20, 13:40

Thanks everyone for your input and tips. Sometimes I just like to be sure if im charting a good course or not. I really appreciate it {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 10:29

The downside when you play short term and dump everything for faster bucks is Jane_Citizen Jul 20, 21:23

agreed. I feel like a boob constantly because of this. {nm} EggNogAdam Jul 21, 12:47

Question for this weekend. {nm} Dorfman Jul 20, 08:14

what's the question? {nm} lobogotti Jul 20, 08:16

42 {nm} PrezBO Jul 20, 08:17

Haha! Is this from Hitchhikers? {nm} Juiced Jul 20, 08:23

SON OF A ******* it didn't post lol Dorfman Jul 20, 08:17

Expert opiniions will cost you. Smartass answers, as always, are no charge {nm} PrezBO Jul 20, 08:18

I have an expert opinion on this question but I don't want to share. {nm} BionicMoron Jul 20, 08:17
