HOLLYWOOD STOCK EXCHANGE

THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
As a retired avid reset trader, the reset trading aspect of the site has nothing to do with actual values of stocks and thus nothing to do
with informed trading. Reset trading is playing the site, it is not playing the information. To relate it to say sports betting...trading at reset is like betting on the outcome of the coin flip at the start of a game. I view the site as a trading site that generates insightful information regarding the outcomes of a weekend of movie business.
If reset trading could be removed from the equation, then "HSX the game port" results would be more reflective of actual movie information.
In my heyday, I was one of the most effective reset and news traders on the site. I used both aspects of the game that was available and playing has refined my own box office prognostication which is immensely valuable to a movie theater manager. I have seen my results villified in the Reset Trader versus News Trader conversations and really never cared. I played the game for results and my goal was to make a lotta fake HSX dollars as quickly as possible. Using both strategies made me an effective player. Regardless of how you make fake dollars, that is the goal as long as you are not cheating. For some folks, their port worth is purely the result of their movie knowledge...for others, it is for being dedicated enough to this "sport" and their results to play the computer programming.
Now, if the site is coming to a standstill at other times other than reset, that is probably due to a lack of trading. My understanding is that the "twins" move stocks when there is a lack of movement and they initiate the reset which generates movement at that time. Perhaps they have been tweaked to be less responsive. All that stuff is behind the scenes. and if it needs maintenance, I am sure that it will either be maintained or it won't. It is a free game and if the operators wish to keep it going, that is their prerogative.
B-R-U-T-A-L. Worst That It Has Been In Months. 7 Of The Last 10 RESETS Have Struggled Badly. {nm} Apr 26, 01:45
For somebody that has an awful lot to say Antibody has been very quiet on the subject of how the site actually functions. {nm} Apr 26, 02:13

ROTO - Maybe you should sleep during resets from now on. LOL {nm} Apr 26, 06:05
What's been going on with the resets? {nm} Apr 26, 06:09
They've been a lot like the train in Dumbo... Apr 26, 06:24

Exactly. {nm} Apr 26, 06:55
Can't speak for anyone else but I'm not sleeping at 8am. But maybe they should close the site when it doesn't suit you. {nm} Apr 26, 06:59
BTW: The 'flaw' in the game is that it doesn't work properly, not how people play it. {nm} Apr 26, 07:01
Frankly I'd rather pay for something that worked properly... Apr 26, 07:58
So the flaw is that once in a very very long while reset traders are inconvenienced? Seriously? {nm} Apr 26, 08:53
If this game is so poorly run and such a chore to play, why do you bother? {nm} Apr 26, 10:00
Because it can be better and nothing ever improves if you don't point out the deficiences... Apr 26, 10:14

well you can either continue to complain like a child, be patient while they fix it, or just deal with it as a new reality Apr 26, 10:02

I'm not a hyperactive trader, no. But I trade every day, never at reset, and do not encounter the problems you allege. {nm} Apr 26, 09:09
