Playing & Trading Strategy

Milestone! (not really) I am now better than half of ALL PLAYERS ON HSX!!! And, it only took me a week. NVT_vs_bonds Jan 24, 13:16

Oh my gosh. This game must be easy! {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 24, 13:21

If this continues, I'm worried that by Easter, I may slip to #7 LTD. Or even #8! {nm} RogerMore Jan 24, 16:39

Hmm ndmaster Jan 25, 08:29

Them thar's a lot of inactive ports, mister!! {nm} Flash Jan 25, 08:18

Can’t we have a column indicating net gain / loss in the day apart from the overall gain / loss for each stock ? {nm} ashsagar Jan 16, 19:21

It's pretty simple math. {nm} ndmaster Jan 16, 19:40

It could be called "Today's Change". {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 18, 09:37

Doesn’t give the net change for the total stock value in the day .. {nm} ashsagar Jan 20, 03:13

multilpy your shares times the change {nm} jdolphin Jan 20, 12:31

It would be easier to have a column indicating that .. {nm} ashsagar Jan 22, 05:59

FFS ndmaster Jan 22, 16:02

Yep! {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 22, 19:01

#300! (I had a good day yesterday, yea me!) DTravel Jan 16, 10:18

hehe...congrats! {nm} tealfan Jan 16, 11:48

Keep on keepin' on. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 17, 14:07

Congrats {nm} cj19 Jan 17, 15:44

Haha! Well done, congrats. {nm} tatoufan Jan 19, 10:17

What has been the best day and best week for most players since the adjust went away? MattW Jan 16, 08:16

I'd say my best day (and probably best week) but I don't want to rub it in. {nm} jdolphin Jan 17, 00:07

Whoops - adjust was still happening then - so best day since adjust 01/11/2017 - 12.68 mil {nm} jdolphin Jan 17, 01:55

Best day Jan 15/19...H$12,990,450. I just do daily, not weekly, but I would imagine this week. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 17, 14:10

You did better than me the 15th, and with a much smaller port too, nice. {nm} MattW Jan 18, 22:29

Thanks, I am heavy into bonds. We were close once upon a time though. GruntNoNeck Jan 19, 19:22

Milestone: 1.5 month old port surpasses majority of HSX players = 51.7 Percentile!! (Read more...) NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 15, 07:37

FFS {nm} ndmaster Jan 15, 10:11

Really??? Way to pat yourself on the back for passing inactive ports. {nm} AJRimmer Jan 15, 18:34

grory is an inactive port...Have you passed that port yet? {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 16, 07:27

No cause she was an elite trader before going inactive it will take years for me to pass. You are passing people who never really played. {nm} AJRimmer Jan 16, 07:48

Why do you engage with his trolling? {nm} hotsambatcho Jan 16, 18:34

If you had invested in 4 starbonds on Sunday..... MattW Jan 15, 23:00

Thanks...Unfortunately, I don't have enough cash to buy any more securities! {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 16, 07:26

Sell them and then invest them for a better return so you can move up faster. {nm} AJRimmer Jan 16, 07:55

You have other investments that will gain more than SCARE in the next week? Then I expect to see you higher than 4.5m by this next Tuesday {nm} MattW Jan 16, 07:58

*4.0m {nm} MattW Jan 16, 08:00

Did you win Classic Cash today? {nm} ndmaster Jan 16, 20:29

I've created this account to benchmark your progress versus bonds. NVT_vs_bonds Jan 18, 07:36

Nice. I've wondered how much bonds alone are worth for a new port in the first year. My guess is something like 150-200m MattW Jan 18, 07:48

Probably too high, 100-150 might be a better range starting from H$2m {nm} MattW Jan 18, 07:50

Thanks i will follow this to assess my progress hopefully you wont pass me {nm} hotsambatcho Jan 18, 09:22

Following you now. THis will be fun. NVT_vs_bonds Jan 18, 15:32

It wont take long to pass NVT he obviously does't know how HSX works. {nm} AJRimmer Jan 19, 20:13

Feb 1st? {nm} MattW Jan 19, 21:39

At the latest. {nm} NVT_vs_bonds Jan 23, 16:15

Lmao {nm} MattW Jan 27, 19:24

If you're new to the game it can take some time to get how things work and find a groove that fits you. MattW Jan 18, 22:32

After all these years, I still don't know how a bond adjusts with two delisting the same day. JALWY is a good example. {nm} BuenaOnda Jan 14, 12:30

How StarBonds work... BuildTheWall Jan 14, 12:39

I was told to "Learn the rules of the game" by HSX billionaires when I admitted to not knowing about StarBond adjusts. {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 15, 07:35

Kaigee, Tealfan - Winter Pic contest MPOPN error. Picks 1 & 4 zero points (correct), picks 2 & 3 one point (wrong). {nm} jdolphin Jan 13, 15:02

(im checking the winter one) If kaigee doesnt see this, or it doesnt correct after the box office gets updated monday, then i will email kg {nm} islndr Jan 13, 15:34

Fixed. Scores and ranking were correct, only color on MPOPN was wrong. {nm} KaiGee Jan 13, 19:03

I also added expanded scoring info to match the summer page. {nm} KaiGee Jan 13, 19:05

Note to Kaigee.....Movies changes week of Jan 2 2019 has double entries. {nm} Buy BONDS xXx Jan 13, 13:00

Also WEETZ on the Bond changes same week. {nm} Buy BONDS xXx Jan 13, 16:46

Fixed. That's twice recently, one of my scripts must be acting weird. {nm} KaiGee Jan 13, 19:17

Just looking for a quick clarification on movie stock valuation MiyazakiFan Jan 11, 06:57

That information is on a need to know basis. Apparently only Antibody needs to know. {nm} Triggered Jan 11, 13:22

I think it's ERC only. {nm} ndmaster Jan 11, 20:07

That's for star bomds and derivatives. Per the Glossary - If ERC does not report box-office for a film, alternate sources may be used. {nm} jdolphin Jan 11, 23:37

That's under 'Cash Out Price' {nm} jdolphin Jan 11, 23:38

"MAY be used". Thus the OP's question {nm} Triggered Jan 12, 10:01

I don't think there is a definitive answer, whether an alternative source is used or not is at HSX's discretion. {nm} DTravel Jan 12, 19:08

BOM is usually used - but it will probably be the weekend number 3.75 and not the total {nm} jdolphin Jan 13, 15:00

Both TSNGO and 2Pt0 have box office showing on BOM but not ERC. In both cases the alternate box should be used. {nm} Buy BONDS xXx Jan 13, 13:03

Milestone: 9 Billion {nm} oneman Jan 10, 07:00

Congratulations! The first $9 billion are the hardest! {nm} RogerMore Jan 10, 07:31

Congratulations ^9 {nm} Buy BONDS xXx Jan 10, 08:04

Well Done! {nm} kibitzer Jan 10, 08:18

congrats! {nm} tealfan Jan 10, 08:50

Keep on keepin' on. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 10, 09:13

Wowzers...way to go!! {nm} Flash Jan 10, 13:06

Grab a brew! Don't cost nuthin'. {nm} DTXbro Jan 10, 13:17

Wow!! Woo Hoo and way to go!! {nm} jdolphin Jan 11, 17:40

Congrats {nm} cj19 Jan 11, 21:28

3 billion...14 years later !!..and the first one took 10 years {nm} ashsagar Jan 09, 23:11

Congratulations! The first $3 billion are the hardest! {nm} RogerMore Jan 10, 07:31

congrats! {nm} tealfan Jan 10, 08:50

Nice milestone! Kudos!! {nm} Flash Jan 10, 13:06

Woo Hoo! {nm} jdolphin Jan 11, 17:39

Congrats {nm} cj19 Jan 11, 21:28

Help me understand criteria for verifying multiple ports controlled by a single user: for example: MAlbi Jan 07, 20:57

I've called this one out a long time ago...FYI: Most HSX billionaires defended RotoHockey (and Oleg_Max, too). {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 08, 07:47

260M in one day? maybe a glitch? it cant be possible to trade that many in 1 day??? {nm} islndr Jan 08, 07:55

At the time of this posting, Roto has traded a total of 19.2M shares this week. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 08, 08:21

thats today. see the weekly chart. also yall stop saying his name or hes going to appear like Candyman on us {nm} islndr Jan 08, 08:37

I think he got banned from posting. {nm} DTravel Jan 08, 10:26

I need to learn to read! Thanks. {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 08, 17:42

Ha! {nm} CSBD Jan 13, 08:59

I was interested to see that Roto's negative port has actually gone negative for the year (though obvs it's a long way from being negative). {nm} RogerMore Jan 08, 08:33

One can have a main port with a long-term holds, and another that started as a YTD and primarily daytrades. Antibody Jan 08, 09:48

The reset rocketeers are daytraders . . . start-of-daytraders, to be more precise DTXbro Jan 09, 23:18

nmbRogerMore {nm} islndr Jan 04, 14:32

oops. showing 2019 year for the last few christmas 2018 openers on your chart {nm} islndr Jan 04, 14:32

Fixed, thanks. {nm} RogerMore Jan 04, 17:27

2018 End-of-Year Performance NeilSite_VanThomas Dec 31, 10:58

Too much cash. {nm} DTravel Dec 31, 12:53

Thanks. I think so, too...Sir, I'd gladly let you have my H$ Cash if there was a way to transfer! {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 01, 15:54

THis is humorous. {nm} ndmaster Dec 31, 15:34

That's what I'm here for! {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 01, 15:55

I'll make a bet with you. ndmaster Jan 01, 22:25

I already won (see inside). But I'm mature enough to let it go, so I won't hold you to it. NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 02, 17:01

Of course you are pass as there are more ports for you to do so. These performance post serve no purpose but to troll. {nm} AJRimmer Jan 02, 17:47

Who are YOU?! I wasn't even talking to you...talk about trolling! Go back and read my posts--I wasn't rude. {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 02, 19:26

This is an open forum. On this forum you do not "speak" to only one person. You "speak" all persons! {nm} GruntNoNeck Jan 03, 19:19

So...respond to "trolls" by trolling yourself: Got it. {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 04, 10:02

Um, dude, I sold my original port to JonHH. It was about $5.4 billion when I sold it over a year and a half ago. Look it up. ndmaster Jan 03, 21:34

HSX: Where real-life nobodies can become virtual billionaires aka The Internet's Receptacle of Adults Bragging About Nonsense Games {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 04, 10:14

Well, I've confirmed you are who you say you are. I see you're still a douche. {nm} ndmaster Jan 04, 14:09

Yep still as clueless as ever, just a matter of time till the calls that the game is fixed against him start up again. {nm} AJRimmer Jan 04, 14:15

ndmaster: You troll this board without anyone engaging dialogue with you, so I guess it takes one to know one. {nm} NeilSite_VanThomas Jan 05, 07:17

I try. {nm} ndmaster Jan 05, 15:39

2.5 billion and top 1000 in 3 years (or 5 years of you count my bigger mistakes) 🙃 {nm} MattW Dec 31, 08:49

congrats! {nm} tealfan Dec 31, 10:17

Keep on keepin' on. {nm} GruntNoNeck Dec 31, 10:58

Great milestone!! {nm} Flash Jan 02, 10:25

Great Work. {nm} cj19 Jan 02, 16:35

So What Is A Big Loss Day.. MitchC Dec 30, 13:15

It depends on the size of your port and your sensitivity to loss. DTravel Dec 30, 14:12

You can't be dazzled by all those 000's. You have to look at the percentage. Keep it in perspective. ndmaster Dec 31, 15:37

Whoops should have been for Mitch {nm} ndmaster Dec 31, 15:38

Just saw the posts on this thread., Thanks, guys. Since I've posted this thread, I've made quite a bit of $$$. {nm} MitchC Jan 04, 13:09

Twenty plus years later.... $5555555 Billion.... how sad it took so long! haha! {nm} Flash Dec 29, 08:46

Congrats! {nm} DTravel Dec 29, 11:10

Slow down! :-) {nm} Flash Dec 29, 11:59

Keep on keepin' on. {nm} GruntNoNeck Dec 29, 12:14

Well done, Flash! {nm} tatoufan Dec 29, 16:55

flash!...aah-aaaaaah!...congrats! {nm} tealfan Dec 29, 22:05

Congratulations ^5 {nm} Buy BONDS xXx Dec 31, 11:08

Awesome work! {nm} cj19 Jan 02, 16:35

Took you long enough old man {nm} chipshot Jan 11, 10:15

Commission Free Days? banana Dec 27, 18:25

nevermore said the raven =P they went away a few years ago {nm} tealfan Dec 27, 21:20

More than a few years ago. They were gone before I joined in 2010. {nm} DTravel Dec 27, 22:48

I don't think it's been that long, has it? {nm} ndmaster Dec 28, 08:20

September 2009, I think. {nm} egolub Dec 28, 09:10

I hope we get a retrospective of the decade traders have been asking about what happened to commission-free weekends. {nm} RogerMore Dec 28, 20:45

Gone back when dial-up was no longer seen as a weekend concern :) egolub Dec 28, 08:55

alas, since the year is not on the timestamp, we'll never know. ndmaster Dec 29, 06:38

It was 2009. Changed the web address in the post above to 15480 and got bond adjust for 9/22/09. {nm} GruntNoNeck Dec 29, 08:00

ouch ... it hurts when you're holding opening weekend derivitives wrong and things go sour on them hardcore {nm} pacrat Dec 26, 21:01

Ahhh... the fun of guessing the right way on derivatives!! {nm} Flash Dec 27, 10:03

You've been around. It used to be like this with openers all the time! {nm} ndmaster Dec 27, 15:49

true ... it just makes it all the worse though when you forgot that you were holding them and log in to a massive downtick in your port valu {nm} pacrat Dec 27, 20:19

Which holidays delay starbond adjusts and gross updates? My list is... Triggered Dec 26, 08:31
