Game change proposal: time to end the halt and adjust? Sep 21, 13:07
i personally like the way game is now. best of both worlds: Sep 21, 13:16
I assume the traffic today for Saturday is quite a lot higher than it was, comparatively, before this late-halt, right? (NM) Sep 21, 13:59
+1 {nm} Sep 21, 16:57
I'm for ending halt and adjust on the stocks. we have the derivatives that halt and adjust anyway..... Sep 21, 13:32
Personally, I prefer halts and adjusts... Sep 21, 13:36
You make some good points there. But wouldn't we have constantly changing multipliers based on history... Sep 21, 14:49
to expand more, i remember the multipliers at 3 the 2.8 them 2.7. Are you saying to just change the multiplier... Sep 21, 14:58
Well...HSX could adjust it as needed...it's a hard choice to make, but I'm probably biased. Sep 21, 16:38
I'd also prefer going back to Friday halts...more fun in the game. {nm} Sep 21, 16:42
I agree with you on both accounts. I think the community will have to find a middle ground on maintaining the Sep 21, 18:27
I think it is an extremely bad idea... Sep 21, 14:56
Agree 100%! {nm} Sep 21, 15:13
I have to say i 100% agree as well. I want hsx to be more accurate, thats why if antibody says removing adjusts Sep 21, 15:38
Before going that drastic, maybe lower the adjust multiplier and try no adjust for Christmas movies. {nm} Sep 21, 15:39

You make some great points Razor {nm} Sep 21, 18:11
Negative ports and reset trading are short-term blips that don't really affect the long-term pricing of the MovieStocks. {nm} Sep 21, 15:45
Yes, but if they are annoying and don't serve the goals of the site why not get rid of them? {nm} Sep 21, 17:05
We can't nor want to control how players trade their investments. {nm} Sep 22, 10:52
+1 {nm} Sep 21, 17:00
+1. Excellent solution. {nm} Sep 21, 19:15
+1 on rolling 24-hour changes instead of daily resets {nm} Sep 22, 11:40
AGREED - 100% PERCENT {nm} Sep 21, 22:45
I really agree mostly with RazorHawk....keep the system. Tweak it..... Sep 22, 06:50
Isn't this what markets do? Sep 22, 09:03
my one objection to your post (while agreeing with most everything else you said) Sep 22, 12:52
I completely agree {nm} Sep 22, 14:24
I agree completly with Razor. Sep 22, 14:36
Answers... Sep 25, 13:26
Those are obviously negative accounts, but if they're already negative they probably are not making any trades. Sep 25, 13:43
Agreed 100% {nm} Sep 28, 20:02
Yeah Razor has some *very*good points. {nm} Oct 19, 10:13
Respectfully, how and who determines what the prices "should" be? {nm} Sep 22, 08:55
/game {nm} Sep 21, 13:47
I don't have a problem with it...I'm already thinking ahead to how I need to change my approach on weekends =P {nm} Sep 21, 13:53
If you really care above all else for OW predictions.. Sep 21, 13:57
I do have to say, years ago before the ow derivatives, the halt of the stock on friday at 9am was more exciting Sep 21, 14:41
The issue here.. Sep 21, 14:48
Very good point. Well then maybe something can be changed with the OW derivatives to compensate for that... Sep 21, 14:54
ugh meant to reply to Antibody's post. {nm} Sep 21, 14:38
I've suggested ending the halt and adjust several times already, so it will be fine with me to see it go away. {nm} Sep 21, 14:08
EDPGod! {nm} Sep 21, 15:06
ED209 {nm} Sep 21, 15:08
Keep Halt/Adjust and move it back to Friday. It's part of the game. Do not get rid of it. {nm} Sep 21, 15:08
I enjoy the halts and adjusts too... Sep 21, 15:15
What if we just halt and catch fire? {nm} Sep 21, 15:26
Thoughts inside... Sep 21, 15:30
The MovieStock value has always been delist at the 4-week box office. The adjust brings the price closer to the delist. {nm} Sep 21, 16:20
That was the intent, but the average doesn't work for movies that don't behave like the average. {nm} Sep 21, 16:24
Being that a lot of us are open to moving the adjust back to Friday as it was. The saturday traffic seems to be... Sep 21, 18:38
My two cents- the game is too easy. Oct 21, 22:12
One thing that I think would enrich the conversation is Sep 21, 15:51
Getting rid of the adjust makes the game more realistic, but less fun. I vote fun! {nm} Sep 21, 16:16
+1 {nm} Sep 21, 17:18
Pretty good idea! I can get behind that. {nm} Sep 21, 18:29
There are some good ideas coming out of the community here. {nm} Sep 21, 18:31
Didn't the .CX derivative not halt and adjust? Maybe try that out for the fall/winter? {nm} Sep 22, 09:54
Depends on what the data is trying to predict. Are you trying to predict OW or delist price? Sep 22, 10:24
How does the multiplier being off for xmas hurt HSX as a predictive tool? Sep 22, 11:39
Right, I was pointing out that a wed thanksgiving has a different multiplier than normal wednesday openings. Sep 22, 22:39
You'd need a different multiplier for each year, and you'd have less data on which to set each multiplier {nm} Sep 23, 10:38
A lurker's take Sep 23, 09:04
Would be a shame to see adjusts go, would rather that moved back to before a movie opened. {nm} Sep 28, 21:09
I'm all for it! {nm} Oct 11, 11:51
The goal of HSX may be as a predictive tool for box office but it is also mainly a game for the users. Oct 21, 17:48
Why not try this for two months ( dec-jan ) and see if we get more acurate, and after that more fun discussion {nm} Oct 21, 23:35
