Playing & Trading Strategy

1+1=2...

Posted by: RazorHawk on Feb 05, 07:16 in response to Peakers' post Endless slide :-(

You are behaving a certain way + HSX market is behaving a certain way = you are losing money

1+1 = 2

You do not want to lose money, so you need to change the equation.

2+1=3

You investment strategy does not seem to be working so you should come up with a different plan.  It is likely that the HSX market has changed recently (likely due to no more weekend adjusts) and your current strategy does not fit well with the recent changes.

You should pretend that each of your stock investments at HSX is like investing in a company in real life.  Each investment should be making you a profit or have a path to making you a profit or you should get rid of it and find other investments that will make you money.  

If the stocks are going the opposite way than you have invested it means that something is going on.  The market has shifted and you haven't noticed yet and/or there is news about the stocks that you are not up to date on.  There are 3 ways to fix the situation, study the market and see what has changed or research the stocks you are having problems with and see if there is any news that you were not aware of, or dump the problem stocks and reinvest the money in other stocks.

This is general advice that can apply to any size port.  It is harder to get more specific without knowing more about you (what your current strategy is, how often you play HSX. your knowledge of the industry, your knowledge of the game, etc..)


Good Luck!

Try the unique proprietary ROTO SHORT STRATEGY. <INSIDE>. RotoHockey2013MainPort Feb 05, 10:18

I know we've had our differences on this topic, but I have an honest question. KaiGee Feb 05, 20:11

he doesn't daytrade... he stays up all night every night and does massive reset trading (which he always fails to mention) {nm} RazorHawk Feb 05, 20:34

Sheer Delusional Nonsense. {nm} Captain Obvious Feb 05, 23:31

You are consistently the top 1 or 2 Trader by Volume at Reset. This is a fact. {nm} Antibody Feb 06, 11:05

Tuesday - RotoHockey 4,400,000 stocks traded reset to 4:15am PST (= 44 moviestocks traded at max holdings) RazorHawk Feb 07, 04:18

The only way for him to be right is if he stops reset trading. Irony. {nm} Antibody Feb 07, 10:18

The 'Sheer Delusional Nonsense' was Aimed at the First Part - 'He Doesn't Day-Trade'. Don't 'Stay Up All Night' either. {nm} RotoHockey2013MainPort Feb 07, 15:28

Have always maintained that there are Four (4) Keys to be a Successful TOP HSX Trader. <INSIDE>. RotoHockey2013MainPort Feb 07, 15:47

You post like Trump more and more everyday {nm} RazorHawk Feb 07, 16:14

Yet somehow whenever you "advise" another player you never mention ALL the parts.... {nm} DTravel Feb 07, 22:28

You forgot #5. Shameless Constant Self-Promotion {nm} BSmurf Feb 08, 09:38

Wednesday - RotoHockey 3,800,000 stocks traded in first 45 minutes since reset (= 38 moviestocks traded at max holdings) RazorHawk Feb 08, 00:45

Unique? No. Proprietary, absolutely not. You didn't invent it. I was doing it long before you. I just don't trade as much as you... {nm} ndmaster Feb 05, 21:10

ROTO SHORT STRATEGY = Hold everything the right way = The aim of the game srrichardson Feb 06, 07:32

No one questioning that. Being "Unique Proprietary" is utter nonsense and neither this is a strategy. Just pure unskilled and untalented DiNar0 Feb 06, 12:25

Shorting everything got me into the mess I'm in today {nm} BionicMoron Feb 16, 08:25

Wow... Peakers Feb 09, 19:25

YES, Yes you did. Thanks for using the Captain Obvious Automated Hands-Free Can Opener. {nm} Captain Obvious Feb 09, 23:02
