Playing & Trading Strategy

There will be no adjusts.

Posted by: futurefilm on Jul 20, 16:35 in response to Flash's post DMac...can you share at all any info on how a movie stock...

Movie Contracts will trade from initial offer (ICO) through 4 weeks of theatrical release, with no adjust. Contracts' initial price will be set through a trader-based auction mechanism. Once the auction is over, Movie Contracts will then trade with contract prices fluctuating by buy/sell actiivty. Traders can make money by buying a Movie Contract which they think the film's domestic box office earnings will be higher than the current price. Conversely a trader can sell (short) if they think the current price is too high in comparision to their expectation of how well the movie will do in box office.

**** wow that article is a MUST READ for all players: discusses why the change was made, and how they intend to keep moving forward. islander Jul 20, 09:22

Are there enough people who play badly for HSX to make money off their losses? angusmctrader Jul 20, 10:12

Heh read the boards...yeah, there are. But, I just have the feeling that the structure of Cantor won't allow for "easy money" without a lot Catzan Jul 20, 10:31

If you think HSX IPO prices are high, there won't be discounted IPO pricing on Cantor. No artifical halt and adjust either. {nm} Antibody Jul 20, 12:11

DMac...can you share at all any info on how a movie stock will earn $$..buy low, sell high? Will there be any type of adjusts, etc?? {nm} Flash Jul 20, 16:20

All the info should be on Cantor, there are no secrets. {nm} Antibody Jul 20, 16:32

My experience with The Cantor Exchange... RazorHawk Jul 21, 08:04

Sorry to hear that. They've accepted hundreds of beta testers, I guess I took my access for granted. {nm} Antibody Jul 21, 10:17

OK, I just didn't know if YOU could share any basic info on it, etc....thanks. {nm} Flash Jul 21, 08:29

Sounded like you were asking for 'tips'. Movies on CE are priced the same as HSX, 4 wide weekends of box office. {nm} Antibody Jul 21, 10:14

what is upper limit and lower limits that Melanie keeps talking about? {nm} RazorHawk Jul 21, 12:24

Upper and lower limit refers to the maximum a contract's price can move in one day. HSX Support Jul 21, 18:29

No...was just looking for more basic info on how stocks would be priced, movement features, adjusts, etc. Flash Jul 22, 12:53

There will be no adjusts. futurefilm Jul 20, 16:35

As a trader, I vehemently disagree with his assessment that the new drop-down trading box is an "improvement". IMO, it sucks. grory Jul 20, 11:49

I agree about the new trade box. Sucks. As for the speed, though, it's now good for me. But I'm a Firefix user, and some have said that make angusmctrader Jul 21, 06:51

Awww...I wanted to know his secrets! No one wants to give their secrets away...sheesh... Catzan Jul 20, 10:34

aww cat stop pretending that you're not Alex :D {nm} tealfan Jul 20, 11:58

I've toyed around a bit with the beta, and it's vastly different {nm} Chefbobcat Jul 20, 11:52

Had received an email inviting me.. Thought it was a scam so deleted it.. do not trust these sure way of making $$ {nm} Sabarth Jul 21, 10:23
