Vote yeah or nay. Can we get some kind of limit on the number of flips a stock can do in a day. Say 20. That's a nice round number.
After that the stock is frozen until reset, the players can sell off there positions but can't purchase. Or can purchase but the stock just won't move. The downside is there won't be a response to news but then again it would only delay the reaction. And I can't see the news thing being much of a factor as most stocks in play move on a Saturday and that's a limited news day.
Now I can play play flips with the best of them and if I don't have something better to do I can flip without taxing the brain while watching tv. Like tonight TWLI2 has been in play for hours. I'd still be flipping it but the football game got good and I wanted to pay more attention to it then a Flippy McFlip Flip. Once the game is over I'll just grab the next one that is in play and it will probably go until reset. Heck TWLI2 might still be slipping when I get back from the game. :))
It's not rocket science you just have to have high tolerance for boredom. Lucky for me I can usually multi task while doing this. About the only time it's a challenge is when you have 5-10 in play and you are trying to remember how you are holding. Now that is fun and focused trading. But that doesn't usually last very long as most traders now can't do this for very long. Then again I learned to do the Flippy McFlip Flip old school when stocks would move 10+ points and if you were caught on the wrong side of it could burn your port $500k. now traders are scared to lose 50K. You don't learn to play this game while with out a bit of risk.
Sound off if you think this is a good idea. Or if you think this is a bad idea.
Post yeah or Nay, and if you want a reason. Or don't give a reason. But this really needs trader input so sound off. OK now back to your regularly scheduled trading and me to the game. :)
Note: I only play one port. But when I notice a stock that is in play I just jump on the gravy subway going back and forth between the two stations.
Watching this football game will probably cost me 4 - 6 million in fake money. Yup it's really lucrative, that's why people play them.

I think HSX needs to get control of this. It's a crap way to make money... Sep 19, 22:01
Then just hold it one way and stop worrying so much about flipping and riding it up and down. Sheesh. {nm} Sep 20, 10:09
You do realize I'm a daytrader, don't you? I think it's genetically impossible for me to ignore movement... Sep 20, 10:27
Heh .. I second that. {nm} Sep 20, 12:08
i actually like it at 50K cause it can really help you alot more than 20k it makes it more challenging i think {nm} Sep 20, 21:16
Commission-free trading Sep 21, 10:24
ach ... their not there. {nm} Sep 21, 17:16
Why was the studio moviefunds cashed out? {nm} Sep 22, 16:01
10 Billion with a capital B. I'm ambivalent; I just ignore Saturday swings, except for my futile effort today. {nm} Sep 19, 23:01
Yes, I meant Billion. (I'm so HSX poor I'm just used to typing million. Billion isn't even in my HSX vocabulary.) {nm} Sep 19, 23:16
This isn't one stocks moving because of news or other reasons this is just up a tick and down a tick. After taking Sep 20, 01:08
i agree with you, stock flips should be allowed maybe 10-20 times per day, per port. Sep 20, 07:00
HSX was able to control this type of flipping in the last version, they should be able to do it now, too... Sep 20, 09:25
Why not just do something similar to what they've done with limit orders? Sep 20, 10:46
why dont you just quit playing, then. Sep 22, 07:56
Why on earth should a stock even flip that much unless there are traders manipulating it? {nm} Sep 20, 10:08
so what if a stock flips and flops, theres no law says you have to play it. {nm} Sep 20, 10:08
Eliminate commish free and be done with it. {nm} Sep 20, 10:15
I like the way you think {nm} Sep 20, 10:53
This is where I stand. Do away with commission free. {nm} Sep 20, 17:11
Nay {nm} Sep 20, 10:35
Why not just do something similar to what they've done with limit orders? Sep 20, 10:47
Nay! I say let a stock flip as much as traders cause them to flip. There are bigger problems to address first. Sep 20, 11:06
How do you figure that? It flips up, then it flips down, then up, then down, etc... won't it either end up down or up? {nm} Sep 20, 20:50
Right, except one Sat.evening or morning(PST) in late July, this person(s) took SHRK4 up 20-30 points. {nm} Sep 21, 15:57
That was pure manipulation. Had nothing to do with trading. I think that was probably somebody hat had a beef with HSX. {nm} Sep 21, 23:51
So you support these unusual 3% or more manipulations but you are against constant fluctuations at a smaller percentage? Sep 22, 16:34
