Playing & Trading Strategy

Everybody must be doing a stellar job this month.. I'm posting 2 - 3% gains everyday and still dropping 200 everyday in lifetime rank... {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 07:26

2.84% gain yesterday and still dropped over 300 spots. wow {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 07:28

Keep it up and enjoy it while you can :) You drop spots A LOT slower the bigger your port gets. {nm} eyescovered Jun 13, 07:53

i mean dropping the wrong way. Like -300 spots.. {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 08:08

are you saying that based on your actual rank or the number in parenthesis next to your rank? A minus in parenthesis is an improvement {nm} lapuckfan Jun 13, 10:17

oh.. I was thinking a minus in parenthesis was bad.. {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 10:19

I get it. It's kinda of misleading. Minus because you are climbing in the ranks... so the number is 300 less than what you were. Dorfman Jun 13, 10:21

You got it! {nm} eyescovered Jun 13, 11:29

YAY... Isa Special.. {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 11:31

I wish they'd put a little green or red arrow there instead {nm} tealfan Jun 13, 12:25

I'd bet a lot of us made the same mistake Dorf. I know I did early on. Tealfan's suggestion below would be a great fix. Willroast Jun 13, 15:57

Rank: 24,514 (-341) :: Percentile: 85.8 {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 10:18

A week ago i was Percentile 82 {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 10:18

to me the percentage here is backwards. I would thought the percentage would get lower. Like right now 85.8% of traders do better than me. Dorfman Jun 13, 10:23

Nah, it's like the SAT, you're in the 85th percentile, better than 85% of players. But yeah, lot of people doing well these last few weeks {nm} MattW Jun 13, 11:24

which is opposite of school ranking. .I was in the top 22nd percentile. lol {nm} Dorfman Jun 13, 11:26

Spend less time on HSX, and more time on school. {nm} elchan2012 Jun 14, 16:35
