Playing & Trading Strategy

This market is hard to gage. I'm down 4.5M in 2 days. The max share increase has allowed the day traders to manipulate

the prices of stocks so much that there are HUGE swings. Stock "A" having little or no movement, 2 minutes later it's up 5 points. This sucks. When it goes to 100K limit it'll only get worse. Full disclosure, generally speaking since the change I've made out very well. H$100M in a 4 or 5 weeks. But I can't stand this much longer. Something needs to be done to correct this. They seem to be wanting this to mirror the real stock market, but this isn't it. The DOW doesn't move near this violently. When it does, it's for a reason. An announcement of earnings missing it's target or other bad news. Don't know if complaints will do any good though. HSX already knows most people don't like the changes. They brought back the "halt" by issuing OW derivatives. But as for the rest. I'm thinking they're willing to sacrifice current players in the hope that new players not knowing how it used to be will come into the game.

Am I the ONLY one NOT having any fun here anymore??? GLAMMGUY Jan 06, 15:12

I'd say it's time to re look at your strategy - I'm using about the same strategy as always up 10 mil since start of year, 35 mil in 30 days {nm} JDolphin Jan 09, 00:56

I'm new to this game and I think its great to past the time {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Jan 07, 00:13

I still don't understand what you guys are doing wrong. Why don't you just play like you used to? DomoI Jan 07, 05:32
