Playing & Trading Strategy

I stayed up last night ubtil reset, played the top 5 moving up with very little success, down 6K for day; why is this a big deal? {nm} damenchipguy Oct 05, 09:47

LOL! I went to bed an hour before reset and am up 464k. Reset trading isn't always profitable. Sometimes it is knowing which stocks to buy Catzan Oct 05, 11:05

Lesson learned :) I had to give it a try and now see a clear differance between "news of the day" and wasting my sleep! {nm} damenchipguy Oct 05, 17:01

You have to understand stock movement in order to best make gains using 'reset'. My port is 88.8M and I will dump or flip most of the mysti hsx Oct 05, 23:17

I guess it is true, I do not understand reset trading as a strategy,I'm going to save my sleep and play the news.I am 80% invested with 74M {nm} damenchipguy Oct 06, 15:41

I am shocked! Shocked, I say! 80% invested in a $74M port? That's almost 15M sitting idle. Tip: Invest 100%, when you need cash to mysti hsx Oct 07, 18:04

Do they take a comission when stocks are cashed out? nulemoni Oct 05, 07:57

Only when trading. Delists are commission free. {nm} MojaveMeg Oct 05, 08:30

You know, Mom I'm not sure of that anymore. How come the cashout price is usually a few cents lower than the box office $ on ERC or BOM. {nm} mysti hsx Oct 06, 00:03

I still have double-studio funds Kyrion Oct 05, 04:32

email HSX support with the details so it can be fixed RogerMore Oct 05, 05:15

I think HSX fixed my issue. I emailed support, they never emailed me back, but i did look at my bank statement kensanity Oct 08, 21:01

Also at -1,378,719.58 cash Kyrion Oct 05, 10:06

I'm still hosed. 3 emails 48 hours and not even a reply. I'm sure a lot of people most have issues with ports. kensanity Oct 05, 17:08

What happened to free trading over the weekend? cubaman Oct 04, 02:27

Yes, this is the second weekend of no free trades. {nm} MojaveMeg Oct 04, 08:26

12:08 am and i have negative 500,000 in cash... Is it safe to say that the issues have yet to be fixed? {nm} kensanity Oct 04, 00:10

I'm negative 2 million and all studio funds are listed twice in my portfolio what is going on. {nm} Phillips Oct 04, 05:36

I lost more ranking points than I should have along with double studio funds. I hope that is re-adjusted? {nm} SLE Oct 04, 05:51

Got to give credit where it is due. When an issue arises, the HSX team takes care of it pronto and fairly. {nm} SLE Oct 07, 13:29

I shot up $20 million at first, then ended up down $780,000 {nm} Loler Oct 04, 08:07

Yes, I was up like $20 million at one point yesterday and then when I looked before bed I was down $1.7 million. {nm} SLE Oct 04, 10:49

I was up 8 million somehow on Saturday night. Couldn't figure that out. Had 1and a quarter million in cash which I know I had on Friday. {nm} graz1530 Oct 04, 14:27

Did you buy anything during the glitch? {nm} Smallville944 Oct 04, 17:38

No didn't buy anything. Just lost 1.2 million {nm} graz1530 Oct 05, 13:40

Has HSX support been quick with your fixes? I've sent an email two days ago and I haven't even seen a response. read more kensanity Oct 05, 15:33

I read the top H$ earners every week, how large are the ports that are returning 20M+ a week? {nm} damenchipguy Oct 01, 14:53

where does it tell you the Top H$ earners every week all i've found was the top % Gainers {nm} Smallville944 Oct 01, 16:18

answers for both inside islander Oct 01, 19:11

to your last point - KaiGee increased the number of ports he looks at each week to the top 25,000, so it featured a lot of traders RogerMore Oct 01, 19:57

Thanks islander! I play this game more than most can, it is amazing how much I still learn everyday! {nm} damenchipguy Oct 02, 14:03

trying to learn about calls and puts.....can anyone help me? {nm} Chimaera81 Sep 30, 15:10

Well...ask away...are you just trying to understand how they work? The HSX Glossary is a help as well.. Flash Sep 30, 18:11

here is something in "i dont know anything about finance or numbers just tell me if i long or short" terms kensanity Sep 30, 18:40

also, keep in mind that you can play these items both ways. kensanity Sep 30, 18:46

Shorting a Put option is a lil' bit risky... Chefbobcat Oct 01, 04:48

well it should be obvious that if you pick wrong, you lose. kensanity Oct 01, 06:18

the real danger if you short a put at e.g. 10 and the box office goes massive {nm} Laxer99 Oct 01, 09:23

that actually answered all of my questions, thanks everyone {nm} Chimaera81 Oct 01, 15:53

A question to the staff....meaning official answer. Guillo Sep 30, 13:43

It means film has wrapped production for more than 3 years without distribution. Nothing to do with IPO date. {nm} Antibody Sep 30, 14:50

Ok, it is true then. So the question now is how do we know that date? How do you guys know that date? Guillo Sep 30, 15:59

It's merely a guideline, not a rule. Antibody Sep 30, 17:05

Thanks for answering. Really no problem. I appreciate it. Guillo Sep 30, 17:52

How do you sell Short stocks? thesharp0n3 Sep 29, 21:26

You need to 'cover' them. Buy/sell. Short/cover {nm} MojaveMeg Sep 29, 21:50

is there an external program that watches stocks for HSX? {nm} Psiatica Sep 29, 11:59

*Not* that *I* am aware of....someone else may know of one.... {nm} Flash Sep 30, 07:32

Someone fill me in a bit with the CX side of the game please. CWCMB.CX is obviously priced at least $10 below its delist price so if its Gawser Sep 28, 14:42

A real money market (like CX) has no Virtual Specialist r_x_j Sep 28, 15:28

Okay, I have no idea what's going on, but has anyone else had any problems with the classic cash? neoqserenity Sep 28, 05:10

I just played and had no problems, just cannot win the *dang thang* {nm} damenchipguy Sep 28, 09:53

That has happened to me at least 3 times. I thought the first time that maybe I had already played it but not the 2nd or 3rd. {nm} grammar Sep 28, 13:07

When to sell stocks in an opening movie? Verdegast Sep 27, 05:58

Depends on many things horlicks Sep 27, 06:08

Check out the CX Derivatives, they have no HALT on opening weekend r_x_j Sep 27, 07:24

Depends on how big your port is and how actively you want to trade. With a small port you should dump the openers and invest in other stocks RogerMore Sep 27, 19:24

IF you are playing openers (one of the best ways to build your port) then I would suggest Flash Sep 28, 12:07
