If I want to play the volatile stocks, I have found 1/2 day trading is really needed. I but them in whatever

Posted by: forlorne on Sep 11, 14:51 in response to Rocket aka PVL Admin's post Day trading advantage has taken its toll IMHO. too much...

direction they are trending when I get up, then usually sell them off when I get home, otherwise the gains seem to disappear by the end of the day.

But as to the original post, it is mostly the behavor of the players that metter, not the way hsx is programmed. I experimented with reset trading and got an old penny stock with no news to go up > h$1 on nothing just because others saw the movement and jumped on board.

If you beleive that this market crash is a technical reality... Muad' Dib Sep 11, 13:27

quick question? how did you calculate 40 day moving avg? Oleg Max Sep 11, 13:33

p.s. my port is only down about 6 mill Oleg Max Sep 11, 13:35

Well first of all... Muad' Dib Sep 11, 14:27

no offense, but I am not the only one doing "that well" Oleg Max Sep 11, 15:42

I don't understand the logic behind why the site would artifically cause a crash. That sounds a bit conspiracy-theorish to me.. Ruthian23 Sep 11, 13:34

Day trading advantage has taken its toll IMHO. too much volatility of long term holds has caused me to sell more than 1 stock to avoid drama {nm} Rocket aka PVL Admin Sep 11, 13:47

And I'm still down 4 mil in 2 days. {nm} Rocket aka PVL Admin Sep 11, 13:47

I should also add that there are many sure bets losing money right now. If one's port is large enough, they can easily weather the storm. {nm} Rocket aka PVL Admin Sep 11, 13:53

Because it's a game designed to 'simulate' the stock market Muad' Dib Sep 11, 13:53

Ok then, how many times have you seen this since 1998? Would you write a program for a one time event? So DMac must be causing it then. NOT {nm} Rocket aka PVL Admin Sep 11, 13:56

But the real stock market rises and falls based on whether people are buying or selling things on the market. Ruthian23 Sep 11, 14:08

its also September {nm} Moviesnob Sep 11, 13:55

Was just going to say that there is a sell-off at the end of summer every year.....and every year it's met with wonderment and speculation {nm} Scorpion Sep 11, 14:02

Same timestamp, even. {nm} edzep Sep 11, 14:10

In the real market for every seller there must be a buyer. Not so for HSX. Muad' Dib Sep 11, 14:32

Also there are not a finite # of stocks per security. {nm} forlorne Sep 11, 14:53

People mothball their ports until next summer? Happens every year to varying degrees for as long as I've been here. Scorpion Sep 11, 14:57

Don't we get a downturn at the end of each summer? edzep Sep 11, 14:02

Maybe it's because I am not spread out across a lot but I am up 1 mill today {nm} moovinut Sep 11, 14:54

There have been a lot of high priced IPOs & I imagine a lot of sell off to raise cash to buy into them. {nm} forlorne Sep 11, 14:54

^ totally. on both counts. :) {nm} Jane_Citizen Sep 11, 16:52

I really honestly feel bad that I'm up a lot over the past few days. I like it when rising tides lift all boats, and I hate being an Paul2k Sep 11, 16:59

Come on, enjoy it! :) Jane_Citizen Sep 11, 17:36
