Playing & Trading Strategy

call options steve Jul 20, 19:28

the call and put was only for the fri-sun box office (as it said on the call and put page and the calender) islander Jul 20, 19:44

Ditto? Ladysweethome Jul 20, 23:41

You can check the Announcements Board for delists. The Calls/Puts for Potter were only for three days, Fri - Sun. It is confusing at first Catzan Jul 21, 00:41

You can check your Trade History under My Portfolio. {nm} Antibody Jul 21, 10:19

otherwise were my calculations right {nm} steve Jul 21, 03:07

Since the Media and everyone else reports from Opening day to the Sunday... would it not make sense... Sabarth Jul 22, 09:00

Somebody would have to do the research, but a lot of the calls/puts cash out at $2 or less. Making the IPO $5 StarBondFund Jul 24, 13:25

Are there enough people who play badly for HSX to make money off their losses? angusmctrader Jul 20, 10:12

Heh read the boards...yeah, there are. But, I just have the feeling that the structure of Cantor won't allow for "easy money" without a lot Catzan Jul 20, 10:31

If you think HSX IPO prices are high, there won't be discounted IPO pricing on Cantor. No artifical halt and adjust either. {nm} Antibody Jul 20, 12:11

DMac...can you share at all any info on how a movie stock will earn $$..buy low, sell high? Will there be any type of adjusts, etc?? {nm} Flash Jul 20, 16:20

All the info should be on Cantor, there are no secrets. {nm} Antibody Jul 20, 16:32

My experience with The Cantor Exchange... RazorHawk Jul 21, 08:04

Sorry to hear that. They've accepted hundreds of beta testers, I guess I took my access for granted. {nm} Antibody Jul 21, 10:17

OK, I just didn't know if YOU could share any basic info on it, etc....thanks. {nm} Flash Jul 21, 08:29

Sounded like you were asking for 'tips'. Movies on CE are priced the same as HSX, 4 wide weekends of box office. {nm} Antibody Jul 21, 10:14

what is upper limit and lower limits that Melanie keeps talking about? {nm} RazorHawk Jul 21, 12:24

Upper and lower limit refers to the maximum a contract's price can move in one day. HSX Support Jul 21, 18:29

No...was just looking for more basic info on how stocks would be priced, movement features, adjusts, etc. Flash Jul 22, 12:53

There will be no adjusts. futurefilm Jul 20, 16:35

As a trader, I vehemently disagree with his assessment that the new drop-down trading box is an "improvement". IMO, it sucks. grory Jul 20, 11:49

I agree about the new trade box. Sucks. As for the speed, though, it's now good for me. But I'm a Firefix user, and some have said that make angusmctrader Jul 21, 06:51

Had received an email inviting me.. Thought it was a scam so deleted it.. do not trust these sure way of making $$ {nm} Sabarth Jul 21, 10:23

Trade History.....only shows last 30 days. Is there a way to show complete trade history? nazwar Jul 17, 14:31

No, that took longer and longer to load as each trader piled up more and more trades. {nm} Antibody Jul 17, 16:50

Trailers on MovieStock pages totempole99 Jul 15, 21:34

Could it be that you have AdBlockPlus installed and accidentally blocked the trailers? {nm} schelo Jul 16, 02:37

I'm using the same version of Firefox, and I've had no trouble viewing trailers on stock pages, etc... I'm guessing it's on 'your' end... {nm} Flash Jul 16, 09:13

switch back to the default Firefox skin to solve this problem. {nm} ryancoke2 Jul 19, 13:13

If it's not broke don't fix it... Kingboyd Jul 15, 02:09

It was broken. HSX had been running on 10 year old technology. {nm} Antibody Jul 15, 14:36

Sorry, but the old HSX was NOT broken at all. schelo Jul 15, 17:06

In addition to my last reply schelo Jul 15, 17:10

do you not remember how often the old version went down after delists and such? ndmaster Jul 15, 17:47

HSX goes down as often in the version then in the old ... schelo Jul 16, 02:35

My understanding is that Old HSX was deteriorating. It could not be salvaged. It may have appeared to work but it was due for catastrophic Catzan Jul 16, 12:03

Sorry, but you're wrong. HSX had constant crashing issues due to aged technology. Scorpion Jul 16, 10:56

Yeup, that's right. A completely new infrastructure, a completely new code base. Its a system we can work with, perfect and improve. {nm} HSX Support Jul 16, 23:32

How starbonds actualy works? Guillo Jul 13, 17:33

TAG refers to "Trailing Gross Average" and HSX explains how a TAG is calculated in the Glossary, but I've included it.... Flash Jul 13, 17:41

Thanks for the response. Guillo Jul 13, 18:19

Yes - the maximum price for a Starbond is $250 (but that requires all the movies in the TAG to have earned $250 in box office). GLUCA is an RogerMore Jul 14, 05:17

Thanks!. It is there any way to download the relative information (data) so one can decide what is good or not a little faster? {nm} Guillo Jul 14, 09:44

Not in a way that's easily accessible. You can check your math at one of the bonds sites - select HSX Fansites from the Communities drop-do Roger More Jul 14, 20:22
