Howdy Oppo! Come one, come all and join the stock market game where Opponauts can compete against each other to see who exits the game as the richest player at the end of 2016. Opponauts can join now! The game launches today, January 4 with trading beginning in 30 minutes. We’ve got 25 Opponauts, lets get more!

Kinja'd!!!

The game is on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The game is always accepting new players even after starting!

To sign up, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , create your account, then click on the link in the above paragraph. When registering to create your account, you can use your full Oppositelock username (this is highly recommended).

What To Expect

The game’s password is “oppositelock”, with no capital letters.

Each player starts with $2500.

The commission price has been removed.

Margin selling (or borrowing), is disabled.

There is no limit to how many shares a player can purchase of a stock.

There is no minimum limit to the price of stock a player is allowed to purchase.

An internal discussion board is available for all players that are participating . I will frequently post helpful information and useful articles that are worth taking a look at and provide my own brief commentary once in a while. Discussion is recommended for anybody wanting to discuss anything related to or surrounding the game, seeking help, etc. Glance over the discussions once or twice a week for new posts!

Players can only view their own portfolio. If one desires, they may talk about what stocks they own in the game’s internal discussion section.

The game will end on Friday, December 30, 2016.

Information in this post will be continuously updated before and after the game has begun.

Have any questions or concerns? Ask away!

Quick Tips

The stock markets begin trading at 9:30am Eastern and stop at 4:00pm Eastern, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

To search for stocks you would like to trade, you must enter the ticker symbol for the company. Entering a name of a company will yield blank results.

All quotes on the website are updated in real time .

Certain stock quotes on MarketWatch may be delayed by 15 minutes . (You can view this by checking the quote’s page on MarketWatch and looking underneath the quoted price) All stock quotes on MarketWatch display time stamps for when the price was last updated (which may also be representative of when the last trade took place). To see if more recent or real-time prices for delayed quotes are available, search for the ticker symbol on Google and on Yahoo (Yahoo Finance) . Sometimes stock quotes may transition from real time to delayed and vice-versa. Quotes for OTC and UTC stock markets are always delayed on all three websites.

If a stock’s quote is delayed on MarketWatch, a buy or sell order for the stock will be delayed by 15 minutes. A buy or sell order on a stock’s delayed quote cannot be cancelled.

Objective — While the game will have a rankings list, your goal should be to end the game with more money than you originally started with. Finishing the game with the #1 ranking (a.k.a, the highest net worth) ought to be a by-product of the goal.

Essential Information

Have no fear on constantly needing to check up on the game! There are features available to control your portfolio when you aren’t looking!

Kinja'd!!!

Short Selling — How it works: You borrow a stock that you do not own and sell the shares you borrowed at the stock’s current price. If its price drops, you buy those same number of shares back at the lower price, thus making a profit and return them back to the lender. If the price of the stock goes up, you’re shit out of luck, and have to buy it back at the higher price, or you can wait for its price to come back down to where you break even or profit.

Short selling is extremely risky. This is a very quick way to lose all of your money. To learn more about short selling, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

The next two features described below are useful for when you cannot readily view your portfolio’s performance throughout a certain period of time. These features are going to be very useful for those who don’t have the time to stare at a screen throughout the day, week, or month.

However, utilize the below features carefully and thoughtfully to avoid losing money on a mistake. For those of you who are going to be holding stocks for the long term, the Stop Loss feature will likely be the only useful feature. Limit Orders are going to be more ideal for those who are heavily short term focused (more risk).

Kinja'd!!!

Limit Orders — How it works:

Say you wish to purchase a stock at a specific price point. You place a buy limit order. This order will execute when the price of the stock you wish to purchase is at the specific price point (up to 4 digits in cents, e.g. $5.2341) you wish to purchase it at. A buy limit order is created on the trading page when buying the shares of a stock. (example shown above)

If you wish to sell a stock at a specific price point, you place a sell limit order. The order will execute when the price of the stock is at the specific price point you wish to sell it at. A sell limit order is placed through the portfolio holdings page.

Limit orders will only execute if the price ever changes to the desired buy or sell price (or exceeds them). Be careful when placing limit orders on volatile stocks (stocks that fluctuate in price often or all the time)

Buy and sell limit orders can also be placed on stocks that are being shorted.

To learn more about limit orders, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Kinja'd!!!

Stop Loss — How it works:

Say you wish to sell a stock that you have held for a long while and you anticipate its price dropping, you create a stop loss order through the portfolio holdings page. In the event a stock’s price drops, this allows you to cut yourself loose before its price drops even further and stop your losses. This kind of stop loss can also be utilized to lock in a profit — if you are making a profit from holding a stock, you can lock in that profit in the event the stock’s price drops dramatically. Be careful on how you use a stop loss order on volatile stocks.

If you wish to sell a stock you are short selling to reduce any losses from an unexpected increase in its price, you can place a stop loss order.

————————————————————————————————

Even though utilizing the features above will be quite useful, the least riskiest and safest way to make a profit will be to buy low and sell high (or hold the stock if it stays high) with a long term outlook.

Invest in companies you are familiar with or are comfortable investing in. Keep up to date on companies you invest in, as news and announcements, whether good or bad, can affect the stock price.

————————————————————————————————

Disclaimer : This game is not a 100% realistic simulation of the stock market (but quite close in terms of investing in stocks). If and when you invest in the actual stock market, be prepared to learn more. Certain aspects or actions performed in the game may even be unrealistic or highly unlikely to be a possibility in actual trading without the player even realizing it.

Looks like we’re going to be stuck putting all our eggs in one basket at the beginning, though. That $10 commission is going to be a bitch until I inevitably become a bajillionaire.

It was a really tough decision on whether to have a commission price or not. What I found with some researching is that the average price is $10. If others here know anything about commission prices, I hope they chime in.

It was either no commission price or $10. The only instance where I found a place that didn't charge a commission price was an app for mobile devices.

The problem with the current game is that it is the normal version. I checked out the advanced version and it is glorious. Way more flexibility and justifies the use of a commission price. The commission price in the normal version of the game ought to be zero.

That’s an annotation on the video as far as I know. Not a watermark in the actual video. I have annotations automatically turned off.

Which, by the way, if the video actually had a watermark, I wouldn’t touch it at all. I dislike them first and foremost, secondly I don’t want to be an asshole who crops watermarks.

You’re right, it’s usually around $6-10 per transaction. My issue isn’t with commissioning, rather with starting sum. $1,000 means that not only are you limited in # of holding and transaction ($20 per stock adds up quick), your first few buys better make you money. Make a mistake and commission will eat you alive.

It’s a valuable constraint in real world, but for a fun game I would recommend at least $5,000 starting pool.

It would — if one is already a stock investor playing with real money, I imagine they’d have some doubts and find a certain stock really sketchy. Best solution to see if that stock sucks or not? Might as well play with it with imaginary money.

Edit: However, don’t think you will be a pro coming out of it. But I’m certainly more confident about what I should be doing after one month.

I was doing great in the short term one, and then the market took a complete shit on the last day of the game before I could sell out. Went from 7th to 23rd or so

1 request - no limits on the number of stock you can buy of any one company. It was silly in the short term one where I would just end up doing 10 transactions to get as much as I wanted anyhow lol

From the start, I made sure there were no limits on the number of stock that can be bought. I’ll now add that in to this post. I am currently testing out the advanced format of the game so that I can describe here how to use it when the game gets opened.

Managing your game away from the computer will be easier than ever, with the ability to sell stocks that are dwindling or sell stocks at a certain price point to achieve a profit, as well as buying stocks when they dwindle or if one is shorting, buying a stock when it rises in value with the hopes its price will drop.

I’ve got to make sure I outline all of this so we don’t have players left and right losing their $1000.

The website is streamlined for mobiles when you visit it, but the gaming side of the website is not streamlined for mobile sadly.

You can still use it, but it can get a bit iffy when buying or selling stock — the trading card that is supposed to pop up in the middle of the page cannot be moved, so if you’re zoomed in on the page, the trading card flies out of the webpage.

If you can get past the issue of trading on a tiny phone screen, you’ll be fine. I’ve done it quite a bit on my iPhone. If you’re using Android, I think the issue still stands. I’ll have to try it out on an Android device to verify.

Indeed! It’s also a learning experience, and if you ever do want to put in some real money into stocks in the future, you’ll be able identify a safer stock better. If it’s only like 1% of your income or net worth, you don’t have much to worry about and can diversify in what stocks you invest in. That way, in the long term, if one goes bad, or even a few go bad, one or the rest will be doing decent or well. I’ve learned a lot in one month of game play!

I didn’t know anything helpful about the stock market either. A month ago it was all just a bunch of jagged, sharp, squiggly lines to me that moved in random directions and looked a lot like gambling.

A month later and I understand why the jagged, sharp, squiggly lines that move in random directions and is far less riskier than gambling, even as a beginner.

I’m hoping a few years of learning this, once graduated from college and with a career, I can maybe take my hand at some long term investing with a few hundred or thousand dollars.

I played this game for the first time in a month long series created by another Opponaut. Everything was a learning experience for me. Everybody started with $500k and $1m buying power. The first two weeks were crappy (for everybody) with majority of my money in Amazon. Then Amazon was doing well on the third week of the series and my net worth went from $480k to $514k (ranking 3 out of 34 Opponauts). I fell back down when I decided to stay with Amazon and it slumped on the same day it picked me up. With only two weeks remaining in the game and desperate to get back up to the top, I made a couple of bad moves, sinking my net worth down to $380k, but I rebounded a little bit on the last day when I profited off of the plummeting price of a stock. Jumped back up to $430k, and would have made it back to $500k with a week or two more, but it was the last day of that series.

I’ve made this game so that I have the motivation to play it with fellow Opponauts, while gaining experience to do it at some point in real life with small sums of money.

Short selling and trading multiple times throughout the day will be much more riskier at the beginning.

My strategy will be finding some long term investments. Maybe some risky moves in the 2nd and 3rd quarter of the year, and reduce all risks by the 4th quarter.

I’m in!

A good tip is to use a limit order even if you want to place a market order. Because there are ridiculous millisecond trades going on, sometimes a price spike or drop can cost you a surprising amount. So if a stock is currently $6.28 a share, place a limit order for $6.28. Most likely it will fill right away, but sometimes not (and then you get to go figure out why). This will save you from “buying” at $6.28 on a market order, then finding out that you paid $6.30 (it can be much more significant at times) because that’s what happened to the ‘market’ price for a moment...

However, if you aren’t worried about a few pennies here and there and just want to make sure the order goes through (hey it’s just a game, right?) use normal market orders.

Hey, that’s true as well. And I just realized, the limit orders can work in any direction. If a stock somebody wants is priced at $5 you can buy in at $4.90 or $5.10, buying, selling, or shorting.

It will be hard to make money in this game. A $1000 starting point makes a couple of stocks so that you can barely buy 1 share. Can you buy partial shares?

No, partial shares will be disabled, as from what I’ve seen, it’s generally not allowed.

However, the commission price may be removed or lowered dramatically. The only business/company/entity that doesn’t charge a commission price is an app called Robinhood, but they only allow buying and selling, and not short selling, or the other useful features I’ve listed in this post.

Upon further research, I’m going to have the commission price be zero. Just read some interesting stuff about the Robinhood app from Bloomberg’s website.

I might sign up, but I’d rather get retro-credit for my actual portfolio in 2015 (+12%, give or take)!

You can, but it’s not doing so well. And I don’t foresee it going up until its legalization is more widespread!

This sounds great. I finally have a decent job that generates enough income to start thinking about investing some, this will be a good way to get into the game and gain some knowledge about how all this stuff works.

I fully expect to lose $1000.

Crap... Was I supposed to use my Oppo name in place of my real name? I was expecting a username section or something.

EDIT: Never mind, I found out how to change it. I’m Rainbow von Oppington.
