So why create the Cantor Exchange, where stock prices actually are affected by people selling/buying...

Posted by: secretstalker (a.k.a TheWeekendWarrior) on Mar 04, 03:00 in response to Antibody's post Repeat, trading affects price movement, not shares held.

and then take HSX further away from that model, which is how the stock exchange really works? When you changed the IPO system to have only a certain amount of shares available at an IPO price, I thought you were doing something closer to the CX, but that's clearly not the case and it really doesn't matter how many people buy an IPO because as soon as reset comes along and one person shorts/sells, it's going to go the other way and then it causes the stock to crash. The normal stock exchange has things in place to keep a stock from dropping more than a certain percentage but when you have an IPO by an Oscar-winning director at a fairly reasonable price dropping $4 at reset after IPO, that's not a very accurate representation of trader interest.... the number of shares held long on the other hand is so why is the stock dropping or going up when most traders don't think it's worth its price?

HSX really needs to go back to the old IPO system where stocks halt until reset. secretstalker Mar 03, 04:58

And HSX still hasn't addressed the issue that one person buying/shorting/selling a stock can affect the price. secretstalker Mar 03, 05:00

That was the whole reason for the change. We want price movements to be more granular. Antibody Mar 03, 10:08

Also, another IPO has 11 to 1 shorts than longs and that goes down just .39 at reset? That makes sense. {nm} secretstalker Mar 03, 05:45

Here is where we do not understand what we thought we knew in the past.... Buy StarBondFund (EURO too) Mar 03, 13:18

Your assumption is/was wrong. :) {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 17:09

CX was going to be the real money. As I explain below, this is how IPO and trading in the real world works. Antibody Mar 04, 09:31

You just don't get my point. secretstalker Mar 07, 06:51

You just don't or refuse to get it. The real market start with limited million of shares at the IPO price, which HSX mimics by freezing Antibody Mar 07, 10:26

I just don't understand why shares shorted/sold aren't considered in the limited IPO and only shares bought. secretstalker Mar 07, 11:00

That's also how shorts in the real stock market work. They are merely "borrowed" shares. {nm} Antibody Mar 07, 14:30

Remember when the changes were made..."we'll be watching the boards, so post your thoughts" Ramdadof3 Mar 03, 06:46

The trading mechanism would be exactly the same. You just didn't notice it before when the shares held were not revealed. {nm} Antibody Mar 03, 10:15

I've just long believed that the way the stock market works is that when you have more buyers than sellers/shorters, price should go up. secretstalker Mar 03, 13:32

A set of traders get the initial IPO price just like in the real market. Then market forces take over just like in a real market. Antibody Mar 03, 17:13

Interesting... {nm} Catzan Mar 03, 17:52

Your best comment on the situation ndmaster Mar 03, 11:48

what the reset traders do is usually balanced out by reasoned trading later in the day anyhow {nm} jane_citizen Mar 03, 15:00

Yes, instead of ****ing, we need to look at them as opportunities, especially if there is no reason for the moves! {nm} ndmaster Mar 04, 08:15

I am not reset trading much anymore...I've done it once since spending more time back here. This is about fake money and strategies to make Catzan Mar 03, 17:50
