math, logical thinking, and the ability to grasp complex concepts need to come naturally to you as breathing. the players at the top are smart and know this game inside and out

you have to LOVE movies -or- numbers and it helps if you really love both

also, it does take a lot of time. its not just trading a few stocks in the morning... its gathering news, analyzing data, knowing trends...to do all that and adjust your starbonds, invest in the ipos, trade on news, youre going to put in 8 hours plus a day, 7 days a week

thats the way to the top

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

why is written in the third person though Exogen Mar 30, 21:20

The single biggest thing for my port has been learning the SB (StarBond) game. 2nd to that, the occasional good fortune on OWs... Willroast Mar 29, 19:40

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

+1 {nm} MattW Mar 31, 22:15

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

<INSIDE>. RotoHockey2013Main Port Mar 30, 21:00

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
