how about making only the Saturday IPOs commish-free?...I miss those {nm} tealfan Feb 26, 12:45

FILMC has IPO of 2-22 but still inactive {nm} Neilthor Feb 24, 17:07

Poor little orphan stock......looks like it's on the calendar for next Thursday, March 4 :/ {nm} MojaveMeg Feb 24, 23:00

My opinion on HSX converting to Cantor Exchange... lobogotti Feb 24, 07:13

I commented on this one in the big thread below. Still a great read, recommended to all. {nm} Facto Feb 25, 11:19

Thanks for everyone's feedback. HSX is not being integrated/changing into CX. {nm} Antibody Feb 26, 10:17

The only change is removing the halt/adjust on MovieStock. {nm} Antibody Feb 26, 10:18

Not clear? You mean your'e going ahead with the change, or you meant to say "the only 'proposed' change"...? {nm} islander: K.B.E.G. Feb 26, 10:24

Still "proposed change". The final decision has not been made. {nm} Antibody Feb 26, 10:54

thank you {nm} islander: K.B.E.G. Feb 26, 11:13

I still don't like it. I hope you guys decide against it. {nm} osmosis2003 Feb 26, 16:58

Soliciting Feedback: What if MovieStocks no longer halt and adjust during the opening weekend of a wide release? Antibody Feb 23, 15:44

ok... eyescovered Feb 23, 15:59

OP says that .OW's would halt like current moviestocks do. {nm} lukesed Feb 23, 16:01

I know. I never said otherwise. {nm} eyescovered Feb 23, 16:09

So the price wouldn't change with estimates. {nm} lukesed Feb 23, 16:29

yes they would, due to trading {nm} RogerMore Feb 23, 16:32

OK, gotcha, I was refferring to predictions. {nm} eyescovered Feb 23, 16:34

i no like it. i enjoy the artificial instant adjust up and the free cash from obvious shorts. {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 23, 16:16

i love this idea {nm} Smallville944 Feb 23, 23:21

You'd also get rid of the calls and puts, right? If you do, there won't be any more OW arbitrages. {nm} lukesed Feb 23, 16:00

I like it. {nm} BuenaOnda Feb 23, 16:07

Does the Cantor exhange just trade securites during the hours that the North American stock exchanges are open? {nm} Vashta Nerada Feb 23, 16:09

as far as i kno its continuously active. {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 23, 16:22

I was wondering whether that would change once Cantor goes live... I'm not a fan of 24 hour real money exchanges... it's dangerous. {nm} secretstalker Feb 23, 17:38

thats going to be a crazy late fri night! It would takeout some of the fun of risking 50K shares on the OW though... islander Feb 23, 16:15

good point about friday night mayhem. its going to be painful if you go out and enjoy your friday evening, stay out late, sleep in... adrenalin112 Feb 23, 16:20

Good point. I would probably stop playing most MovieStocks openers until at least the Friday estimates came out. eyescovered Feb 23, 16:26

Yea, you'd have to raise the 10k cap to at least 20-25k {nm} eyescovered Feb 23, 16:25

would it be possible to make this work while having at least some halt period? adrenalin112 Feb 23, 16:31

That's an interesting idea, though we would want HSX to mimic Cantor Exchange, with the idea you would migrate to real money. ;) {nm} Antibody Feb 23, 17:20

yeah ive noticed that. and ive also noticed that since cantor doesnt have a forum over there, this is also the cantor movie forum. adrenalin112 Feb 23, 17:25

Some players can't afford to play the real money game... {nm} Chefbobcat Feb 23, 17:58

Does that mean you'll give us $50,000 REAL dollars to tell us what movie we're seeing this weekend? secretstalker Feb 23, 19:57

so about the real cantor exchange mbking92 Feb 25, 19:06

it's regulated like the stock exchange... secretstalker Feb 25, 20:50

I like it. go for it. {nm} the_noble Feb 23, 16:18

For me, taking away the weekend adjust would be a big loss to the game. Even if they are complemented by a .OW derivative, RogerMore Feb 23, 16:27

can i be in your mafia rogermore? wanna be my neighbor in petville? {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 23, 16:34

*blocks adrenalin112 from newsfeed* {nm} RogerMore Feb 23, 16:36

*pokes rogermore* {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 23, 16:43

Forget Petville - come hug me in Pet Society instead *pokes Adrenalin* {nm} Facto Feb 23, 18:39

what would be the incentive for players to hold a moviestock prior to its release? {nm} islander Feb 23, 16:33

they dont want to pay the 1% commish to sell it off. dunno... {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 23, 16:35

None really, just wait for Friday ERC/BOM estimates and buy whichever way the wind is blowing. {nm} eyescovered Feb 23, 16:38

The expectation that price will rise {nm} RogerMore Feb 23, 16:41

but if small to mid range ports dont have to risk their money, they wont. and with fewer traders, less movement, right? islander Feb 23, 16:52

Depends what doubts/expectations there are. When there's hype about a movie and its price is rising, traders will put money into it {nm} RogerMore Feb 23, 17:03

It's logical, especially for wide releases. How it is introduced will be of essence. Currently i am holding "wide" moviestocks Diapason Feb 23, 16:51

my thoughts... RazorHawk Feb 23, 16:55

Well, I lost that bet with myself... secretstalker Feb 23, 17:47

All kidding aside, I do agree with RH said above. {nm} secretstalker Feb 23, 18:06

I agree with RH also. Don't mess with the best part of the game. {nm} tonyj1 Feb 23, 21:12

Excellent response, Razorhawk. I agree with everything you've written. {nm} ryancoke2 Feb 23, 17:48

100% agree... all the fun aspects that make it a game will be gone. {nm} twoshenoudas Feb 23, 17:57

I agree with RazorHawk's IM. {nm} joeoftexas Feb 23, 18:37

nice nustshell edzep Feb 23, 19:20

Well, you have to remember that the Cantor Exchange is not a game. {nm} secretstalker Feb 23, 19:52

Right, but, the point is that I have more fun playing here, than I would making money there. edzep Feb 23, 21:41

that was a good read...you've swayed my opinion as well {nm} tealfan Feb 24, 12:34

Wouldn't that take away all the play on a movie while in development? aaronl5 Feb 23, 17:06

How about a shorter freeze, and eliminating the adjust? Even the NYSE freezes a stock when significant news is pending/announced Novice Feb 23, 17:14

I much prefer 50K stocks that halt and adjust now instead of the 10K that will halt and adjust due to this change LonePirate Feb 23, 17:18

The OW halt, among other things, has always functioned as a guarantee of the fairness of the game: no one with inside Friday info... second gary Feb 23, 17:23

Thoughts bdiz Feb 23, 17:25

hmmm facto must be busy hammering out the biggest wiki page of all time right now as his response... {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 23, 17:31

who me? lol :-D {nm} Facto Feb 23, 18:17

Hmm... I'm not really a fan especially if movie stocks start behaving like CX derivatives in terms of volatility. secretstalker Feb 23, 17:37

I'm easy...variety is the spice of life...go for it tealfan Feb 23, 20:15

I think CX stocks are too violatile.. let the opening movies halt as usual on weekends.. please do not take away that as well karspov Feb 23, 20:52

Please don't do this... Chefbobcat Feb 24, 01:27

Part of HSX's research value is that it has a DIFFERENT trading mentality to Cantor... lesana Feb 24, 01:44

I'd probably stop playing entirely. But that's just me. Hooray360 Feb 24, 04:21

This is a bad idea. Takes away the fun of opening weekend {nm} owen111 Feb 24, 06:20

My opinion on HSX converting to Cantor Exchange... lobogotti Feb 24, 07:17

I don't need to write a wall of text, full of reason, when Lobogotti already did, above. I agree with the sentiments expressed here, I agree Facto Feb 25, 09:57

Sounds reasonable. Makes a lot of sense to have the price of Moviestocks driven just by traders and save the OW speculation as a derrivative {nm} dawgma02 Feb 24, 09:34

Id be open to trying out this new form as it sounds very dynamic for opening weekends, perhaps fun, perhaps annoying, we'll see. But... Shrike Feb 24, 10:29

I'm generally for anything that makes HSX mimic real markets more closely. But Scorpion [FOXX] Feb 24, 10:38

sounds ok but... Neilthor Feb 24, 18:07

if it alows you to trade 50,000 shares i'm all for it if it lets you trade 10,000 shares i'm against it {nm} Smallville944 Feb 28, 21:43

this sucks mbking92 Mar 01, 21:26

After thinking this over for a few days I have to say no to this idea. {nm} Vashta Nerada Mar 07, 22:03

It seems you dont have an understanding of this game yet so I would look at the help, faq, and glossary sections linked below. about this, islander Feb 23, 01:25

Trouble with Leagues RazorHawk Feb 22, 11:04

Same here -- a small bunch whose date is always _today_. {nm} edzep Feb 22, 11:37

Thanks for this, we'll look into it {nm} HSXToby Feb 22, 11:54

I have the same issue also. Its being going on way back before your last adjustment of the 7 days. Guillo Feb 23, 19:23

How can my portfolio be -$14,567.31 in cash? {nm} john Feb 21, 12:21

Sometimes the price of a stock will change in between when you press the button and when it is executed RogerMore Feb 21, 12:33

RogerMore is correct. We also choose to allow you to have negative cash rather than go through the frustration of seeing a trade fail HSXToby Feb 22, 09:12

ATTN HSX: from the thread below, Box Office Battle uncovered an error on the total box of ID....There was a final week, 21 theaters StarBondFund Feb 19, 21:21

The weekend was 61K, but a close battle revealed the error. This would slightly affect the TAG of JMANG but the BOB had a real close one StarBondFund Feb 19, 21:23

It's not an error. As others have pointed out, HSX doesn't use BOM or the-numbers. {nm} Antibody Feb 21, 22:16

Just curious where box office battles gets its totals from. according to the game south park made more money than identity. but according to LuCiFeR Feb 19, 05:54

HSX uses ERC for all BO totals. eyescovered Feb 19, 06:51

according to the stock pages for these films, south made more than identity and that is what is official islander Feb 19, 19:00

We're looking into a solution for these types of problems HSXToby Feb 22, 11:56

The 2/11 announcement of "New Releases {nm} OUsooner90 Feb 18, 19:50

cont...2/11 New Release Dates announcement indicates LOSRS moved from 4/23 to 6/4 but moviestock & attached bonds still reflect 4/23. {nm} OUsooner90 Feb 18, 19:52

It moved back to April - Look at the New Release Dates Announcement for Feb 18 {nm} JDolphin Feb 19, 00:53

I checked that earlier, guess I missed it. Thanks! {nm} OUsooner90 Feb 19, 18:35

Explanation on ' Stock Adjustments' Please?? sma Feb 17, 20:41

You've got the process correct, but the numbers all wrong. Avatar opened at 73 mil for the weekend and had the usual multiplier of 2.7 {nm} JDolphin Feb 18, 00:38

Are you confusing the Moviestock and the Holiday Warrant? The movie adjusted for it's opening weekend, and has since delisted after 4 MojaveMeg Feb 18, 09:32

Leaderboard query ForceIndia Feb 16, 21:38

you could try the link at the bottom of the page where it says 'Contact us'. Just a wild guess. {nm} osmosis2003 Feb 17, 00:13

Have already tried. sending a mail to support@hsx.com hasn't worked. {nm} ForceIndia Feb 17, 00:51

Saying it "hasn't worked" is not honest - you received an answer yesterday HSXToby Feb 17, 09:32

Well i was honest at the time of the post. i recv a reply only two hours after my post :). Thanks anyways. {nm} ForceIndia Feb 17, 21:19

Then it takes you 14 hours to get an email. You might want to talk to your service provider. {nm} HSXToby Feb 18, 09:29

Problem not yet resolved. please look into it :( {nm} ForceIndia Feb 20, 05:20

What was the value of your port at the beginning of the year? If it was less than $2M, the YTD% calculation will be different {nm} RogerMore Feb 17, 06:59

Wouldn't be nice if when I click on "Advanced" on a movie page, to appear automatically the symbol (of that movie) and max as default at delfinasu Feb 16, 04:42

I somehow own the fund FOXX twice, the same way.. How is this possible? I mentioned it over on the movie boards a few days ago, and it's Facto Feb 15, 18:47

Any thoughts on increasing Trading Limits {nm} chmob96 Feb 15, 14:28

great idea, but not gonna happen {nm} ndmaster Feb 16, 21:26

I think the Shutter Island Call and Put needs to be added to the "Opening this Week" page. {nm} secretstalker Feb 15, 06:14

Also, on this week's calendar, the Calls/Puts for Crazies and Cop Out are on there twice each {nm} eyescovered Feb 15, 10:41
