rocket, that actually is a pretty good explanation.

Posted by: Oleg Max (a.k.a Oleg_Max) on Apr 02, 19:10 in response to PVL Admin's post I did those calculations a while ago, trying to figure...

we know for a fact that there are "brakes" in place that curb volatility for a time period.

if there is a large volume of "one-sided" trades (all buy orders for example) than stock will tick up fast at very first few orders and then could only move in penny increments with each subsequent buy order.

so, let's say for example that early tracking numbers were posted on the board and about 50 people saw it in lets say 20 min time window, all those 50 trades might only move the stock a buck or so...

now, let's say that one of the other reliable b.o. predicting sites came out with a wild prediction on how the stock might open, and those traders that frequent that site go there in the span of 5-6 hours and then come back here and make a trade, slow and steady volume of those 50 buy order can move the stock 5-6 bucks... hence, the difference in change of overall longs/shorts and different change in total stock price.

no one here knows for sure how and why stocks move one way or another because hsx secret sauce is patent protected...

Can anyone explain this to me? I started tracking movie stock prices and volume a few weeks ago and generally what I have found is that as OUsooner90 Apr 02, 17:47

It''s just an unrealistic game, have fun with what it is. :) {nm} jgbaxter Apr 02, 18:19

I did those calculations a while ago, trying to figure out a formula. Bottom line, it varies and is a potential artificiality of the game. PVL Admin Apr 02, 18:41

Thanks for your thoughts. I had assumed that volatility played a role but the disparity between these two stocks was so big it piqued my OUsooner90 Apr 03, 06:43

Just curious, were you tracking total volume traded for the tme period, or just the shares held short/long? {nm} amnesiac Apr 02, 23:40

Just the number of shares held long/short. {nm} OUsooner90 Apr 03, 06:37
