Some traders like the adrenaline rush of being on the right side of a halted stock...

Posted by: bbb101 on Oct 21, 19:34 in response to Oleg Max's post with proposed changes supposedly coming soon, OW doesn't...

..and I understand that, but having a halt really doesn't make sense. Electronic exchanges have made it possible to trade NYSE stocks pretty much 24/7 and traders had to adjust.

If eliminating the Saturday halt means less excitement for traders with a good opinion (and it doesn't, really, if you buy/sell the stock at halt time, you'd end up with the same result without a halt, only gradually instead of one fell swoop), I'd suggest adding in several halt times of OW warrants/puts/calls. Maybe have one - call it OW2 - that halts two weeks before the opening weekend, another OW1 one week before, and the usual one halting 10am Friday. (Yes, I acknowledge this might be confusing for beginners.) And/or raise the position limit to 100,000 on the OW puts and calls.

with proposed changes supposedly coming soon, OW doesn't really matter anymore... {nm} Oleg Max Oct 21, 12:41

Then what's the point of having OW derivatives? I have a feeling that the regular stocks just won't halt anymore. {nm} diamondman56 Oct 21, 12:43

let me clarify, Long Range post does not really matter, because OW will be IPO'ed 2 wknds before anyways... {nm} Oleg Max Oct 21, 12:46

Of course it still matters, you just need to combine it with the legs you expect (before seeing any critic or user reviews) shadowking Oct 21, 12:47

Paging RogerMore... {nm} shadowking Oct 21, 13:02

already done, actually {nm} RogerMore Oct 21, 13:07

What are the proposed changes? I keep asking and no one replies. Thank you! (nm) GoodSon, OG Oct 21, 14:54

the changes are on a (long) thread that is hard to miss on the Feedback Board. {nm} RazorHawk Oct 21, 16:05

Thanks for the unnecessary response. Obviously, I couldn't find it. The post below yours? That's the polite way to respond. (nm) GoodSon, OG Oct 21, 16:48

Uh dude, don't worry about, I will never help you again. {nm} RazorHawk Oct 21, 16:53

proposal is to end the halt and adjust of moviestocks. thread link inside islander Oct 21, 16:23

Well, I thought this was a bad idea but then I saw that RazorHawk didn't like the idea... so now I'm all for it! {nm} diamondman56 Oct 21, 16:36

Thank you!!! (nm) GoodSon, OG Oct 21, 16:49
