Playing & Trading Strategy

Tips for a *relatively* new player?

Posted by: Birdstwin on Sep 03, 15:25

Alright guys, new player here(compared to you pros). I have been playing for about 3 years. Now I have a portfolio of $125M. For that entire time 90%+ of my money was going into starbonds, taking advantage of those adjusts. The other 10% in derivatives and movie funds. Typically, I would gain about 4%+ a month. Now, I thought, that I have so much money(relative) I'd move on to bigger fish. So, with newfound confidence I recently started to tinker around with moviestocks whose prices range from 20-160(see below, at very bottom). *Starting to feel sick.* Didn't do so well. I kept logging in, then I kept passing out. Saw nothing but red in 'change today.'

The last 3 months I've made 17 Million, as it says in my history. (Probably embarrassing compared to you professionals. Were you making the same as me at this stage or more? And how'd you do it?)
June 5- 108M in portfolio
July 5- 111M = 1 month gain =3M
August 5- 117M = 1 month gain =6M
September 3- 125M = 1 month gain=8M (August 5 to September 3 is when I was tinkering with moviestocks. Starbonds saved me.)

I thought the last month profit was going to be lower than the previous month. I kept logging in and seeing 1-2 Million in red, not to mention the commissions it cost me to get out of those stocks. I traded little in starbonds recently cause I wanted to move on to bigger things and cause I didn't see any adjusts I liked. Infact, once I saw losses in the millions I switched back to some starbonds to make up for my losses.

What is it that you professionals trade in? I know about listed starbond adjusts, Wensday's Derivatives, and Movie funds. But what else. What other things are there that I don't know about, which I should learn about? Currently, I only have two days of the week to look forward to for profit. That's all I know. Tell me your secrets!
Random days- Small movie stocks, Movie funds, other randoms
Wensday- Starbond Adjusts, and Derivatives for the current week's weekend
Saturday- Movie IPOs

Take a look at some of my losses from tampering with moviestocks if you dare:
