>>1063412
It's an annual comp, but if it drags on I'll try to adjust it to a 6 or 3 month thing.

If anyone is having trouble signing up, let me know.

>>1063373
Cool. I might sign up.

Just signed up. Fuck all experience but it sounds fun.

>>1063422

I see. I won't start trading for a few days anyway, on vacation and can't be bothered.

But going for that #1 spot for sure.

what are the terms of the competition? how long does this run for?

Can I buy 100% of an index fund and see how it fare against the genius of /biz?

I'd join in but I'm already in my own game but only trading with 25k, to keep it realistic for myself. I'm also fairly deep in the hole after recent events and learning how to recover.

I would say that I seem to have some great beginners luck with options. I've only opened a couple of puts and a call but I've hit each one perfectly and done quite well with them.

Just put all 500k in inverse leveraged etf's and get "rich" when oil prices take another shit monday morning. Then sell before close that evening and reinvest in regular leveraged etf's for the rebound.

>>1063373
Also, A bunch of NEETs and newfags haven't placed any trades yet. Get those trades in /biz/raelis.

Even if you lose overall, no risk assumed = no learning from mistakes. Even Vishera with his -100% portfolio return per annum is on superior ground to you right now.

I tinkered with a few settings:
Margin Interest 2%
Cash Interest 3%
Allow Portfolio Viewing: No

No portfolio viewing to stop NEETs from trying to copy each other's trades.

>>1072400
Cool thanks. Since the reason is failed volume and it says 10% daily volume on attached I guess it means I need to be under that. Thx much.

>>1072994
It wasn't a panic sell, I just never should I tried my luck. I bought at 2.60 and it immediately dropped 14 cents after that. As for the shorts this is my first time using them so I'm just trying to get a hang of it.

>>1073081
I'm shorting CVX too, both in Put Options and actual shorts.
Made some nice money with my Put Options.
Still expecting an even bigger fall, and I've went into fuckit territory and actually put a big risky Put on CVX that is bound to yield a hefty profit if it works out. It just needs to happen this week.

that ETF is a day-by-day return investment

>>1075610
W-why?
I've been holding it for over a week.

>>1075613
really?
well, I good for you.
Still be careful.
From the ETF page:
>These leveraged ETFs seek a return that is +300% or -300% of the return of their benchmark index for a single day. The funds should not be expected to provide three times or negative three times the return of the benchmark’s cumulative return for periods greater than a day.

>>1075619
basically, If I understand it well, you're bound to get smaller returns over time with that ETF.
On the long run you may very well end up getting negative even if the S&P 500 is tanking

Someone correct me if I'm wrong

tl.dr: If I where you I would sell that and collect the gains, and rebuy it if you feel confident, or reinvest it in another short ETF or whatever

The thing about cretins is they tend to be the loudest people in the room.

There are some good investors here. The rankings will show it. If you're running a live portfolio, placing the same trades on a play account isn't hard.

If you're a cashless NEET you get to learn rather than post "how do i get rich quick" threads.

I don't see the problem here? Are you losing or something?

Just part of the settings. Brokers charge commission. It's intended to add some realism.

So, is everyone just daytrading here or do people have long-term strategies?

>>1077255
yup.
in my humble experience long term investments require proper planning and analysis whereas im just looking at graphs and making bets on what its gonna do.

>>1077255
I have a long-term strategy. (kinda)
More like a mid-term strategy.
Depending how this bear market evolves, I'll delineate a complete strategy.
I mean, thats the only way I see myself making any decent money day-trading on this current market, by going long for the year

>>1077275
>>1077283

I guess, with the huge amount of money and low broker fee, day trading is the way to go, at least for now.

I'd personally prefer the competition to have much less money and larger fees, so as to make it more about planning and less about daily time allocated to looking at graphs.

>>1077162
>Join ours, just mirror the trades. It's what I'm doing.

Don't get too comfy, Ackbar.

shouldve banned leveraged stocks to raise the bar a bit

>>1077465
Would've just encouraged degenerate gambling in small cap bio and tech. With leveraged products you're at least encouraged to do some research into the macro view.

SEC is going to ban them before the end of the game anyway. MLPL is already gone.

>>1077468
i can safely say ive done 0 research and made a fuckton of cash from energy etfs

Don't want to see artificial restrictions. We're already missing real tools that are available in real markets.

If anything I want to see and learn more of how to go about making money in the markets no matter how it's done. The trouble is that when it's not for real people take much bigger risks than they would if it was their own real money. That's the beauty of something like robinhood. You're playing with real money and that helps focus things a lot more.

I definitely want to see more people explaining what they're doing. How they're hedging etc etc. That's what I'm sure what we all want to see more. How to actually manage risk properly.

>>1076461
TRAP

>>1077535
I actually spoke to a hedge fund manager a couple of weeks ago and he told me people don't really hedge anymore.

A couple of risk management/hedging methods you might use in a real portfolio would be:

-calculate correlation of your stocks: you don't want to lose money on all your stocks when one goes down. this can be done in excel and it's a pain in the ass to do.

-learn about hedging stocks by finding out their beta or calculating it then creating a spread trade using beta hedging

then some obvious things:

-set a stop loss

-don't actually buy in unless you've seen a trend of positive price action over a set period

this stuff may seem really obvious but i think once you know the basics you just learn the rest on your own

>>1077535
You're not going to get that with this game, yeah.

>>1077545
Watch your fucking back, Ackbar.

>>1077535
Agree with >>1077567 that it's about the basics. Learn to set your stops nice and tight once you buy, before you buy find the lows and limit buy, watch the volume and adjust accordingly. Another big one you learn is cash management. You should always look at your buying power, whatever it is, and then knock 33.3 percent or so off that. That's your actual buying power. Divide that by the price point your looking to get in at and that's your max buy.

It's the little things first basically. After that, it's just paying attention and always be learning etc.

Is there a way I can quit and rejoin? A stock I owned just did a 1-5 reverse split, but the simulator did that twice, making my 100K shares, 4K, and as a result I'm out about $150K.

That said, i should be winning but i slacked yesterday and watched netflix instead of paying attention to my stocks

>>1079935

End of week statistics.

Congrats to Vishera for clawing his portfolio back from the jaws of death last week.

>>1080884
NB: S&P500 average market return is time lagged- was last month (End. Dec to end Jan.) Will update to reflect this month at month end as a more realistic indicator.

So far, with an average porfolio return of 16.39%, /biz/ is actually proving itself to be decent at investment. Though admittedly much is due to ackbarR

Hey /biz/

Normie here

How accurate to the actual market are sites like these?

Thanks in advance

>>1080853
I don't have enough money to pull these kind of trades in real life. I'm only trading with $8000 of my own money but my trades are non-risky trades.

But with $500k of paper money, I get to make extreme calculated yolo trades.

I take a lot of ideas and speculate yolos from /r/wallstreetbets/

>>1081070
How do you mean? They're real prices, just delayed 15 mins. The liquidity can be a bit touch and go at times but that's because the game is corrected for 10% volume to simulate real life. It's mostly realistic.

>>1081158
Yeah well I can't blame you. In the real world leveraging should only be used for a portion of your investments anyway.

>>1080884
let's get some clients to invest in us but don't tell them our strategy cos it's a secret :^)

>>1080884
ayy fucking lmao i forgot i bought LNKD puts earlier in the week and I'm up 70k...

so I'm basically a beginner with trading and such, but would it be possible to recreate this irl? as in spending $2-3k on a put/call and then guessing right and having these kinds of returns (10x)? i have quite some money that I'm fine with losing btw

>>1082778
Yes, it's possible in the same way putting that money on 13 black at a casino roulette table can have incredible returns. That kind of jump comes from big announcements and how people interpret them. What sounds like a great thing might get read as horrible and vice versa, you're counting on other humans to do what you expect them to do. Not even splits are safe because sometimes a report comes out and it goes completely unnoticed.

TLDR: You got lucky, even if it was foreseeable.

>>1082778
>>1082788

The other thing people don't factor in, which is a huge issue, is controlling emotions with real live money.

It's easy to take ridiculous gambles when your stake is effectively zero.

As a technical tool, this will help but good luck trading live cash. You'll live and die 1000 times in a week based on your trades. Very few people have the stomach, or balls to do it successfully.

In other news: I've been slacking on this. Got caught up in another project. I think I placed like 3 buy orders and 3 sells last week. Need to sort that out before today's open.

good luck today friends :^)

Never done anything like this before. Just made an account and stuff, what should I do now?

I was expecting to see graphs and stuff like on youtube that I could learn my way around but I suppose I was wrong.

>>1083060

Started today at around 2:00 PM late into the trading day.
Bought some FB, SPY, SPXL, and went heavy long on OIL

Bought puts on oil to hedge if they go into the dumpster
Shorted VXX, UVXY because why not and yolo on SPY calls

lets hope tomorrow I will see massive gains

lost 10k because i had to go take a shit and my stops were too generous

a-am i fired

Wow, it's almost like 80% of a portfolio shouldn't be oil related.

Thank you for the lesson /biz/.

I promise to never make a meme portfolio is bullshit games again.

>>1083575
care to explain your logic?
Because I sure as shit dont.

Gave back last week's gains. It's almost like this market is shorting and options only for now. Alright then market. Have it your way.

Who /lowrisk/ here? I'm in it for the long term while most of you dump all your cash into a few volatile stocks. Good luck with that, lads.

>>1083636
thats pretty much what I've been doing since the beginning.
I've been doing pretty well, even though I could take a bit more risk.

>>1081070
if its not made by actual broker who want you to put your money it is accurate 100%

Was hoping there would be a catalyst to explode the SPY to go up either today or tomorrow.
Somehow AAPL today shot the fuck up 93.50 to 95.50 in one hour and dragged the entire S&P 500 with it.

I planned to buy SPY and shorted VXX,UVXY hoping for a rise on Tuesday but it came early today

I made some small gains on betting on S&P 500 and will going to hold for a few more days to shill out some more shekels

also the tech sector looked like it was rising so I bought some FB calls and the stocks as well

my plan for tomorrow is to dump all of my SPY calls and SPY, cover VXX,UVXY and hold oil for the week.

expected to earn about +100k tomorrow if all goes according

>>1083652
Same. The only stock I bought was X because of its union deal. Made a little cash and got out. Everything else has been shorting. If this isn't a bear market I don't know what is.

as of today, admiral ackbarR's annualized return = 35,431,532,780.03 %

>meanwhile my buy and hold strategy is causing me more pain that I thought a paper account could cause

>>1083711

cheers for the advice guys. i'll read up more on options trading and waste some of my own money on YOLO bets

>>1083655

oil is going to tank this week

>>1084365
By the way.. with options (and derivatives in general) you need to factor in potential counterparty risk, right?

So the risk of the other party breaking the contract.

OK SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT KIND OF GYPSY CURSE HAS STRUCK MY SHORTS? WHY THE SHIT AM I LOSING 3K WHEN IM ONLY MEANT TO LOSE 2K? GAMES FUCKING RIGGED AGAINST ME I SWEAR.

Also, once I short something, it instantly makes me lose money, even if the stock itself goes down. For example I started shorting Deutsche bank today which made $480 profit, yet in the total change, it's actually LOST $1650. Why? I only traded it one day so it can't be previous losses.

>mfw never took a loss in this entire game

>>1085837
Famous last words. Also you know the profiles are public right? Your AMD and LL losses are on the very first page.

>>1085990
Meant my portfolio never took a loss.

I swear to god, I cant use options for shit.

Lost a ton of money because of it.
fml

Why are none of my trades going through? I started just putting them in at market wtf

>>1086122
You realize the market is closed right now right? Like the app even tells you they wont be filled until the market opens.

>>1086139
It's been a week since I entered them

>>1086161
if you swipe right, go to order history, then tap on the order it should say what it's waiting on under order status.

>>1086170
Ignore me, i'm retarded apparently and thought this was the robinhood thread. My apologies. This does seem to be rather buggy, it didn't seem to take my stop loss either.

Im in get ready to witness greatness boys, also is there going to be a daily thread or something to compare stats?

>>1085105
shit, i did not consider this. surely there must be ways to mitigate this risk

i'm finding it difficult to understand options so for now i'm steering clear

i feel like if we couldnt short, this would be a LOT harder

>>1086511
This risk doesn't exist on the simulator but in real life it is a real risk.

Clearing houses and so on are used to reduce the risk for some derivatives, like futures. if you take out an over the counter contract with a bank or whatever then your only recourse would be the legal system if they refused to pay up.

Joined yesterday I'm a complete new fag invested in petrol companies. How do you guys find stock to invest in?

>>1072861
how's holding losing positions working for you then?

when you're taking a loss you cut it and add the money to your winning positions or there's a real slippery slope

Holy fuck do you like to lose money? Short EVERYTHING

genuinly don't understand how you can lose money on this

>>1086187
Yeah, you're in it, retard

>>1086859
was there a rally?
I only saw the markets autistically pretending like nothing is happening, clinging to dear life for positive news.

>>1085654
Did we get an answer for this? Happening to me too. Is the game adjusting for margin or something?

>>1085654
>>1088025

Can you two screencap this? Impossible to troubleshoot without more info.

There are margin fees. There are commission fees. And so on.

>>1087675
Equities futures are down overnight. It's gonna be a rough open.

>>1087675
Ye Dow added like 180 points at some point but it all went down hill after that

>>1086595
dude, dont buy oil, its only going to go lower and there's going to be a lot of bankruptcies

>>1088597
Yeah I figured it out, it's 2% of the sale because margin. You have to add that on when you cover.

gg easy

there's no more point in playing...i'm so far ahead it's like noone else is actually playing wtf
