So much for my prediction of a turn.

UK gaming sales defy spending squeeze

[nimbo1] 01/3/2018 16:48

out of interest, they have started releasing some teasers for individual dinosaurs.

[bamboo2] 01/3/2018 16:39

Good luck nimbo.

I notice that the PRO real time charts that generate auto trendlines have potential apex based turns falling between today and tomorrow. Mid price charts show a potential turn yesterday/today.

Last market based chart has potential turns 6-7/3/2018

[nimbo1] 01/3/2018 16:10

suspect the turn will come tomorrow (should do from a technical perspective!) - hope so as ive just been snapping a few up. weak again on low volume and constant small sells.

[bamboo2] 28/2/2018 12:05

Just finished topping up.

I have a potential turn on the chart today/tomorrow. Hope I got the timing right.

[nimbo1] 27/2/2018 16:43

To be honest i am not sure. Almost all of the trades going through are AT which is the computers at work. These are for tiny quantities like 8 or 50 shares etc. There are very few ordinary trades here direct from the market from the likes of you and I. Thats why FDEV is prone to such large spikes (in both directions) because when excessive buying or selling comes in there is no orderly market in the 'traditional' sense. I hope when JWE is released and more interest arrives liquidity will improve for both buyers and sellers.

Finally managed to get 300 at 1235 late in the afternoon. Will look to get some more over the next few days.

[bamboo2] 27/2/2018 16:08

Hi nimbo, thanks for the post. You have confirmed my experience that despite all the so called sells, that have led to a lower price, there is just no liquidity.

Just how is this possible? Have the sells not really been sold to mm's?

I have been trading this stock a long time, but have always struggled!

I just tried again to buy while the spread was 12.25-12.30, most I could get a quote for was 10. lol.

[nimbo1] 27/2/2018 15:00

hi bamboo, price is being walked down on small shown sell side volume. Currently there are 319 shares to buy below £12.40. Which is why you cant buy in any volume. And there are only a further 768 shares available below 12.65. WINS are currently on the bid at 12.25. I think we need news to bring back some liquidity from buyers and sellers. Ive just put in an order for some at 12.30 and will let you know if it gets filled.

[bamboo2] 27/2/2018 14:17

This afternoon is another good example of market obscurity. I can see the spread, currently £12.25-12.30.

I am happy to buy a reasonable amount of shares at £12.30, but I can't get an autoquote for 50, let alone 500.

This is despite the balance of 'sells' to 'buys' being approx 16074 to 2622. Where are nearly 14,000 shares?

If people like me can't buy, it's no wonder the price has dropped!

edit added, Also quite annoying to see others seemingly able to buy at these prices.

[bamboo2] 26/2/2018 08:54

maurice, I am unsure. If there is an order in place to buy a certain amount, will the trades be reported on an ongoing basis, or once the order is complete?

[mauricemonkey] 23/2/2018 17:27

I thought MIFID II meant all trades had to be disclosed?

[bamboo2] 23/2/2018 17:19

Hi nimbo, thanks for the above. I agree that we are currently not seeing all the volume.

I'm not a great one for blaming the mm's and other conspiracies etc, but from my recent experience with 'dummy' and real trades, can only conclude that shares are being accumulated somewhere along the line.

[nimbo1] 23/2/2018 13:21

Bamboo in response to your post from yesterday i've been watching FDEV on l2 last few days and i think many of the larger trades aren't being listed. Market has gone very thin - for example there are currently c.400 shares available up to 12.70! currently quite a few buys listed at 1240. Volume v low and market has gone very thin.

The latest results presentation is available on Frontier's website, which is worth a read.

[shanklin] 23/2/2018 07:21

Starts:

"Although Jurassic World 2 has yet to reach cinemas, the folks at Universal Pictures are already pushing forward with a sequel.

The studio has now confirmed a third Jurassic World movie, along with a release date and the team of writers who will once again bring dinosaurs to cinemas. "

[mark4231] 22/2/2018 15:06

Where are all the shares being sold going to?

[bamboo2] 22/2/2018 14:54

I want to complain!

I can get an autoquote to sell 1000, but can't buy any more without placing an order.

I have added a few dribs and drabs this afternoon, but it is a bit frustrating.

[nimbo1] 22/2/2018 11:34

Looked back at my notes - i don't know about officially or unofficially but Elite is not available in china through official channels - cant sell it at the moment because the government won't support content such as smuggling and overthrowing governments etc. Perhaps this could change in the future if they loosen up but nothing is certain in this regard. PC is available in china.

[mark4231] 21/2/2018 12:26

Will be interesting to see whether the first release of Beyond gives a bump up in sales. I'll be watching the Steam top sellers list with interest.

I thought Elite: Dangerous and Planet Coaster are already available in China via Steam? Just not localised and without local servers.

[nimbo1] 21/2/2018 12:04

hxxps://www.polygon.com/2018/2/20/17033334/elite-dangerous-beyond-release-date-price-pc-playstation-xbox

New Elite dangerous chapter released 27th feb - free content release.

In time it would be great for FDEV to get permission to sell elite dangerous in China. Though of course there are hurdles to do with content etc.

[nimbo1] 20/2/2018 09:49

for now selling volume has dried up - cant buy more than 1000 but can sell 10x that amount. bodes well. I might have to buy level 2. Any of you use it?

[mark4231] 17/2/2018 16:57

Anything is possible as the unlikeliest of games has sold many many millions and game sales can go through the roof if it takes off with the wider community. In reverse it can all go horribly wrong, a terrible or bug ridden game. However with PC selling 1.4m I think, and with JWE being multi-platform and tied to a major film franchise I would say 2m to 3m is the probable area with other numbers quite possible but in the struck lucky region.

Although JWE is exciting of course in the next few months, it's the Chinese angle and further franchises building up and solidifying the company in the long term that really appeal.

All IMHO.
