Playing & Trading Strategy

The single biggest thing for my port has been learning the SB (StarBond) game. 2nd to that, the occasional good fortune on OWs...

I'm mostly a seasonal player so a fair amount of it has to do with seeing an opportunity like SvB and jumping on it. Had I been not around I'd have missed it though so, for casual players (which I still count myself among), timing can be key. But if you make sure to check on future SB adjusts. They can basically make you sure fire money and you won't usually lose too much if you don't come back for a while after the adjust and correct them. For example, I am nearly 2 months behind on my SB port fixws and it hasn't killed my port.

There are very few players, as I understand it, that preform at the highest level that don't play the day trade game (and the reset game as well). Those are not options for any casual players but, if you get a day to have fun with the site where you can chack frequently, give those a look. They can be fun (and profitable) even if you only pay attention for an afternoon.

Really though, the thing that changed my port from a 300M 14 year old port to a 1.9B port at 16 years was, more than anything, learning about SBs. I'd bet that DTravel linked a tutorial on the topic directly above. If you want to give your port a little bit of extra juice, I'd look into that strat.

Good luck bud!

How do the top players do it? johnnyb588 Mar 29, 16:44

I can't speak for how players like Oleg do it but I posted some tips that worked for me. Link inside DTravel Mar 29, 18:52

I don't know if being 98.8 percentile is a top player, but for what it's worth JustaGuy Mar 29, 20:50

Nice. I may look into this. It seems like a strat that you can use even just a couple days a week and set and forget. {nm} Willroast Mar 29, 23:50

It needs a bit of management, as sometimes a bleeder can become a winner on some breaking news, but overall it works 75% of the time {nm} JustaGuy Mar 30, 06:25

Also, I shouldn't have answered this because I am NOT a top player. But I thought any advice might be helpful. {nm} Willroast Mar 29, 19:41

You are a top player MattW. No one should doubt that. :) {nm} DiNar0 Mar 29, 20:19

Me? {nm} MattW Mar 29, 22:27

That was weird. haha {nm} Willroast Mar 29, 23:47

haha....sorry. mistaken identity. You guys know who I meant, right? DiNar0 Mar 30, 10:45

Thanks Dinaro! I don't actually consider myself top level, but I have been trying! Competing with all you superstars keeps me humble. {nm} Willroast Mar 30, 12:01

Ranks and Net Worth are time-biased..... Attitude is not. Hence, you are a Top Player in my book.:) {nm} DiNar0 Mar 31, 11:33

the resemblance is uncanny {nm} tealfan Mar 30, 09:11

haha {nm} DiNar0 Mar 30, 10:46

ou've heard the saying time is money. On HSX that is true - I've found the more time I spend here, the more I make. You more chances to JDolphin Mar 29, 20:45

not a top player, but similar size port as you: set goals, join a league or two as well as follow the above tips {nm} Wrath_crfd Mar 29, 22:20

Wait - you're saying to bet AGAINST the market? {nm} JustaGuy Mar 30, 10:55

No, he's saying bet against virtually all MS. It works. ndmaster Mar 30, 11:40

SHORT Virtually all Movie Stocks? johnnyb588 Mar 30, 16:07

They are playing the ups and downs of daily or weekly trading not what a stock might make in the long run. If you don't have the time to JDolphin Mar 30, 18:07

Saying it STILL doesn't make it your strategy. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Mar 31, 22:58

besides the tips above, the philosophical answer is that you have to be gifted and passionate... islander Mar 30, 14:13

Because i will never be a topplayer, i get my fun out of resetting my account each januari. That way... JMT-NL Mar 31, 02:17
