Playing & Trading Strategy

Adding a trader Cikan Jun 20, 10:46

Referral credit? Since your friend has to make 2+ trades within 2 days, I'd guess 2 days, if they've made 2 trades. Maybe one edzep Jun 20, 14:27

Quick question. Why am I limited to only being able to buy 100,000 stocks? Is it the same for everyone? {nm} HNIF Jun 19, 02:52

itst the same for all moviestocks...for starbonds it's 20,000 {nm} tealfan Jun 19, 02:57

It's meant to level the playing field. This way a player with a million dollar port isn't able to buy a huge number of shares and MojaveMeg Jun 19, 07:08

Oops - make that a *billion* dollar port :) With no limit to the total shares available they could put their whole port into one stock. {nm} MojaveMeg Jun 19, 07:10

In the 'olden' days, you only used to be able to buy 20K shares...it was that way for a LONG time... then it went to 50K shares over time... {nm} Flash Jun 19, 08:39

Was it ever 20K? I remember it being 50K when I started. JohnTEQP Jun 19, 14:43

Maybe I'm thinking of star bonds...I think you're right.. 50K on stocks... thanks for keeping me straight. :) {nm} Flash Jun 20, 07:28

Max holding on stocks was 50,000 but earlier phases had lower limits. {nm} MojaveMeg Jun 20, 08:01

Yeah, that's where I had it mixed up...thanks to you both! :-) {nm} Flash Jun 20, 15:44

Thanks to everyone who responded. Makes sense now. {nm} HNIF Jun 19, 17:24

When movies cash out do you still pay commission (2%)? {nm} DJO Jun 18, 02:02

No {nm} Chefbobcat Jun 18, 02:30

That idea was really, really unpopular when it was floated by HSX a few months ago. Apparently they listened. {nm} JohnTEQP Jun 18, 22:58

Thanks {nm} DJO Jun 20, 03:08

Rookie question: Why is it when I buy a rising stock...... HNIF Jun 17, 09:37

no one can really tell you when or what to buy or sell but... Oleg Max Jun 17, 10:26

i am guessing you are not buying until it has already run up enough for others to start cashing in {nm} forlorne Jun 24, 11:04

There are lots of people who owned the stock long before you did. JohnTEQP Jun 17, 13:57

commissions don't cost smaller ports any more than large ones. everyone is charged the same. worrying about commissions is bad advice, IMO ndmaster Jun 17, 22:20

Agree w/ndmaster alfpaul Jun 17, 22:48

In recent days I've seen some posts with links to a movie fund page showing when last trade was made, I know how to do that with traders... twoshenoudas Jun 16, 15:21

It's on a funds profile page (not the funds stock page) click my fund name inside for example. Replace fund name in the URL to check others {nm} islander Jun 16, 15:56

Perfect, Thank you! {nm} twoshenoudas Jun 17, 03:50

Shorting a moviestock, but likely to go straight to video iago Jun 16, 03:12

STV does cash out at zero, which means it is worth shorting. (I don't get your "losing money to both longs and shorts)) {nm} edzep Jun 16, 04:31

Ah - thanks for that: I assumed that when cashing out at zero the stock would simply de-list... iago Jun 16, 05:13

When a movie officially is released on video, the calendar will show the MovieStock delisting. Buy StarBondFund 17 ( EURO too) Jun 16, 05:32

fund week? {nm} islander Jun 15, 08:45

I love HSX b4bad Jun 14, 21:15

summer is great for reaching milestones {nm} tealfan Jun 14, 23:03

Just realized, today is my first year anniversary here at HSX. DTravel Jun 14, 19:34

Happy anniversary! {nm} PVL Admin Jun 14, 19:41

yay for sticking around! {nm} tealfan Jun 14, 20:02

Happy anniversary! Don't be ashamed, I was only worth about $7m after 1 year :-P {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jun 14, 20:37

Not fun anymore .... I know .the waaaahhhmbulance is coming... unaturalx Jun 13, 12:06

Depends on the stock... XMEN4 did well on the ride up.. GLANT has been doing OK... Flash Jun 13, 14:51

I'm confused...if a stock is overpriced, shouldn't the price fall? Are you saying that a movie should keep going up and up? Paul2k Jun 13, 15:03

I'm confused too...it seems you've recognised a market trend but haven't changed your strategy to capitalise on it. {nm} osmosis2003 Jun 13, 16:58

This is not a new phenomenon.....and quite logical Mr. Spock. Buy StarBondFund 17 ( EURO too) Jun 14, 13:35

Bear in mind that HSX is predominantly a market... baronblacksheep Jun 21, 16:12

Been a while since I traded on here...Are Saturdays still "Commission Free"? {nm} BruceRoberts Jun 11, 09:44

No. {nm} DTravel Jun 11, 11:22

If "Super 8" is the number one movie right now, why is the price falling? {nm} seanseane Jun 10, 18:25

Because the price will move according to how traders see what price it will adjust to mathematically {nm} karspov Jun 10, 18:59

Because every other movie is even worse? :-P {nm} DTravel Jun 10, 22:28

MTC? RS? Dionisio Jun 10, 10:32

MTC = Major Theater Chain (kept anonymous on purpose)...RS = Reel Source... tealfan Jun 10, 13:13

Oops, I should have clicked before posting... {nm} PVL Admin Jun 10, 19:37

Look for my weekly "prediction site accuracy report" in the movies forum. MTC good, RS bad. {nm} PVL Admin Jun 10, 19:36

heh, glad to see that MCA dipshlit down so low. =D {nm} DomoI Jun 14, 06:55

My value is falling but I gain places in the overall rank? and for about the past year too!! {nm} pgatenby Jun 09, 15:05

It could be that some of those above you are not as active any longer, or some players may not have figured the in's and out's yet... Flash Jun 10, 12:02

remember going up is good and going down is bad :) {nm} b4bad Jun 14, 21:16

Fund Week Summer 2011: Studio Funds (pt 2) - The HSX Dude RazorHawk Jun 07, 16:36

Sick of the price changeing after trade is placed! {nm} Martin3103 Jun 07, 14:26

I buy a stock for say .10 a share but I get charged .12 then I sell at .14 and it only gives me .12 or .13 WTF {nm} Martin3103 Jun 07, 14:29

Correct, it's called "chuckage" and it pisses us all off. Be sure to e-mail the complaint dep't at HSX. {nm} PVL Admin Jun 07, 15:08

A bit of advice for you, Martin, is to steer clear of the penny stocks. Only trade in stocks that have day-of news, and upcoming openers. {nm} Paul2k Jun 07, 15:23

What happens is you get charged the price your transaction will change the price to. (More inside) DTravel Jun 07, 15:34

Sick of the price changein {nm} Martin3103 Jun 07, 14:24

I realize that after adjusts the prices are held for a period of time, but could anybody inform me how long that time is? {nm} PRodQuanta Jun 07, 13:31

Just until reset (midnight Pacific time) {nm} PVL Admin Jun 07, 13:39

Good to know. Thank ya, thank ya. {nm} PRodQuanta Jun 07, 13:45

When does the market calendar usually add the next week? {nm} stevie1der328 Jun 07, 12:42

usually around now around now, but it varies {nm} tealfan Jun 07, 12:53

oops {nm} tealfan Jun 07, 12:53

I didn't even realize we could look at the next week... Wow... {nm} PRodQuanta Jun 07, 13:30

Where do I find when movies halt? Do they halt at different times? {nm} Juiced Jun 07, 11:14

that info and more are on the calendar...Menu Bar -> News & Events -> Market Calendar {nm} tealfan Jun 07, 11:47
