Playing & Trading Strategy

I have been to The Reset. I have seen The ReSet. And I am here to tell of The ReSet. Gather and hear . . . DTXbro Apr 30, 10:11

Woah. I can see the change in you brother. Dorfman Apr 30, 13:29

is the reset earnings still holding up? wondering how far behind i'm falling because of not playing reset! {nm} David_Francis Apr 30, 13:29

Reset-generated earnings still holding, although I am about to dump many of the stocks that moved for no apparent reason. DTXbro Apr 30, 16:46

Thereby generating more price movement with no apparent reason. :-P {nm} DTravel Apr 30, 22:24

yeah, the reason is 'correction' :) {nm} jane_citizen May 01, 06:20

let us know how that's working out for you 24 hours after the reset ... ? {nm} jane_citizen May 01, 06:21

I estimate that playing The Reset generated a one-day profit of approximately H$1 million, after commissions in and out.. DTXbro May 01, 10:44

Ok, someone explain this to me. blandestk Apr 29, 08:45

it starts moving after it meets certain criteria or the next day alfpaul Apr 29, 09:06

alfpaul...beat me to the reply, just like he's beating me on the YTD. just killing me! {nm} David_Francis Apr 29, 11:55

you've improved a lot since the start bro alfpaul Apr 29, 12:26

haha thanks! i love the watch list too. ya, i started to play stocks WAY more short term, even still kinda working on my playing style. David_Francis Apr 29, 18:41

IPO's dont move in price until the initial number of shares has been bought or reset happens. then, after reset the first action on that David_Francis Apr 29, 09:09

Hrmm...all these new players, I might have to rethink my pattern of play AGAIN. Just when I was getting complacent- err, I mean comfortable. {nm} Paul2k Apr 27, 15:55

What has been your pattern of play? Hacking the system? Fellating Satan? Manipulating Hollywood projects to benefit your HSX positions? DTXbro Apr 30, 09:52

Why does my account net worth go down when I place a trade? 121Jigowatts Apr 27, 09:35

All trades take a 1% commission. And, typically, you trade price will have changed a few cents from the list price, to your disadvantage edzep Apr 27, 09:37

The cheapest penny stocks take 2% commission. {nm} edzep Apr 27, 09:41

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. {nm} 121Jigowatts Apr 27, 10:45

welcome, new person! {nm} tealfan Apr 27, 15:08

Great screen name! I've never gotten tired of watching Back to the Future.(I even worked at the mall where the opening scene was filmed) :) {nm} BelizeIt Apr 29, 00:33

Can somebody explain or point me to post, how movie stocks go up or down in price. How is it determined? Who decides how much? {nm} heartsparkdollar Apr 27, 09:15

Sorry found it. {nm} heartsparkdollar Apr 27, 09:18

Well where is it? {nm} 121Jigowatts May 22, 08:28

fantastic still losing money after changing playing style yet again. swordfish1 Apr 25, 12:17

It was a rough week. It happens. But, it seems like people are getting into the groove we've been given. edzep Apr 25, 12:43

i really don't know what people are complaining about... Oleg Max Apr 25, 13:03

I've been trying to brake the 80M plateau for more than a week now it's killing me! These have been the most difficult 2 weeks for me {nm} krapnek Apr 26, 11:35

You're not too far behind me... Flash Apr 25, 17:24

adv. movement of a Port. of about 54mil laleb Apr 25, 11:33

I think with a port your size.. you can Flash Apr 25, 17:39

Did I miss an anouncement? When did the max shares on derivatives (like tv stocks) go up to 20,000? {nm} twoshenoudas Apr 25, 07:53

it has been @ 20k for tvstocks since November of last year (or so)... Oleg Max Apr 25, 08:23

Yes thank you. I must have been living under a rock with regards to the derivatives. I don't buy them often. I guess when original batch of twoshenoudas Apr 25, 12:50

Can someone explain how you play the reset? {nm} Dorfman Apr 25, 00:16

stay up till midnite pacific. watch which moviestocks start moving, buy the ones that go up, short the ones that go down. {nm} ndmaster Apr 25, 06:30

lmao yeah i did that... didn't work out so well. lol {nm} Dorfman Apr 25, 07:15

try playing small amounts until you understand how it works jane_citizen Apr 25, 07:38

everything reset and then it was like BOOOM. This stock was up 40 cents or this one down a dollar. I was like WTF. Dorfman Apr 25, 07:44

I used to try to play reset... but to me.. it made no sense... no rhyme or reason to some of the movements... Flash Apr 25, 08:11

yeah there didnt seem to be any rhyme or reason. {nm} Dorfman Apr 25, 08:29

rule #1 about reset trading- don't try to apply logic. it is not logical! {nm} ndmaster Apr 25, 10:51

rule #2- you must control reset trading; do not let it control you. {nm} Paul2k Apr 25, 13:25

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me where to go for some help on how to o things? {nm} BAMON Apr 24, 22:20

As you can imagine, this is a common Q. Start by browsing this forum and readin FAQ and HELP. {nm} PVL Admin Apr 24, 22:37

(at the bottom of this page) edzep Apr 25, 01:12

Makes no sense to me.... Dorfman Apr 24, 08:09

yes i know technically why it goes up cause obviously after reset someone bought it. but why {nm} Dorfman Apr 24, 08:10

Twelve weeks with a limited screen count could still generate more than 4 weeks on 650 screens. Alternately, people holding it short may MojaveMeg Apr 24, 08:27

ok, that makes sense. Guess i was thinking some dropping it from theatres after 2 weeks with possibly a low PTA. Dorfman Apr 24, 08:46

the stock you're talking about alfpaul Apr 24, 14:28

i didnt think about that. i understand people buying and reversing when they see it going up.... Dorfman Apr 24, 15:32

I can't remember, do we get charged commission when a stock delists? {nm} icecreamman Apr 23, 07:17

no, but there were some proposed changes that were suppose to go into effect 4/1/11 OlegMaxYTD Apr 23, 07:27

I was just thinking of those changes and went looking for them srrichardson Apr 26, 23:39

Number 3 WTD! WOOHOO {nm} Dorfman Apr 22, 07:59

is hsx anything like the real stock market? Zebrafish Apr 21, 17:58

not really...this game is much more predictable and faster paced than the real stock market. {nm} Paul2k Apr 21, 17:59

not at all. the things that determine value on HSX are totally different. Paul is right, this is more predictable as well {nm} ndmaster Apr 21, 20:19

The one good thing you learn from HSX that could apply to the real stock market is humility JohnTEQP Apr 23, 15:07

anyone else having a tough time this week at this game? i've been stuck around 49M for the past 4 days....keep going up, then down...again.. {nm} David_Francis Apr 21, 08:02

Yep, had several down days in a row. I was going to ask the same question {nm} OriginalFund Apr 21, 08:19

IMO, traders have been a lot quicker to take gains during the day, and earlier in the day, so stocks are peaking at lower amounts. {nm} Paul2k Apr 21, 08:20

Yep, rough week. Couple of down days in a row, which is unusual for me. {nm} edzep Apr 21, 10:36

Yup. Only made 175k yesterday and down 325k so far today. {nm} eyescovered Apr 21, 12:15

Down over a million today. For me this time of year is sort of tread water until the summer with the occational score here and there {nm} mrbeankc Apr 21, 14:14

this'll be my first summer here. is there lots of money for the taking during the summer? {nm} David_Francis Apr 21, 14:57

yup yup yup...Blockbuster Warrants, etc...kids movies especially do better than normal because...well...the kids are out of school :) {nm} tealfan Apr 21, 15:13

I have to amend my earlier comment - personal fund is doing very badly, but the Original Fund is doing well {nm} OriginalFund Apr 21, 18:58

I'm having a hard time leaving the 70M stage...been here for a week now! I hope I make 95M in time to join the next PVL {nm} krapnek Apr 22, 11:48

i am having a horrible week! Down yesterday, probably gonna be down today again at close of trade jane_citizen Apr 22, 17:50

did that steve carrell IPO burn anyone else, or was i the only sucker who thought it was a short for sure? {nm} QuebecHollywood Apr 22, 18:36

burned burned burned jane_citizen Apr 22, 20:00

I normally short most IPO's, but that one sounds funny. Also, I'm a big KKNIG fan {nm} JohnTEQP Apr 23, 15:10
