money trouble

Chapter 637 Long-Space Contest (4K Chapters)

The ups and downs of international crude oil futures are determined by the funds for buying up and down. The funds are provided by investors, and the investors who determine the flow of funds judge the future trend of this commodity based on a series of information.

The news that can really affect investors' judgment of ups and downs is very, very confidential. In the whole world, only a very small number of people can know it in advance, and some of these very few people are not allowed to participate in futures trading.

For the outside world, it takes a short process to digest the news. When the digestion is completed, the outbreak will begin!

"Maoziguo is about to conduct military intervention against pirates in the Gulf of Aden"

(No mention of Sergey, let alone Wu Qian)

The title of the official news did not mention Solan, but in the detailed content, it still mentioned that it would provide military assistance to Solan at the same time.

The amount of information in this news is not insignificant. First of all, the Gulf of Aden is an extremely sensitive topic. Pirates in the Gulf of Aden have a long history.

Furthermore, the Solan Kingdom has not gained sovereignty, and has continued civil wars and been eroded by surrounding warlords. Why did the Maozi Kingdom provide military assistance to such a third world country?
Countless people have realized from the news that war is about to break out in some areas!
To solve the Gulf of Aden issue, the consumption of oil is huge, which is positive.

Military assistance to Solan will inevitably lead to an escalation of the war between the Solan government and the warlords, and the oil consumption will continue to intensify, which is good.

The news determines the flow of funds. Countless funds are thrown into the international crude oil futures market like [-] tons of TNT explosives. Of course, gold and foreign exchange are also affected to a certain extent, but not as directly as crude oil.

In an instant, countless long buying orders, that is, buying up orders, were poured into Brent crude oil.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Brent crude oil, which was originally entrenched at the price of 55.49, was like a kitten whose ass was pricked by a needle. It took only a minute for the price to climb by nearly ten percentage points, breaking through the 1 level in an instant!

This kind of increase is not unprecedented, but it is absolutely rare, very amazing!

It can be seen that after hearing the relevant news, countless speculators around the world chose to go long, that is, to be bullish on the crude oil market.

The chain reaction triggered by this further stimulated the sentiment of the bulls, and more people joined the ranks of the bulls.

At the same time, Wu Qian can see that Woodward and Barbara are intensively operating the computer through the video screen, and the light from the screen illuminates their cheeks red and green, which is the light emitted by the K-line diagram .

Hundreds of millions of funds in seconds, it is really not a joke!

"The Canadian account closed [-] lots and made a profit of more than [-] million pounds..." Woodward reported without taking his eyes off the screen, talking to himself.

The trading unit of international crude oil futures is "lot", one lot is 0.01 barrels, and the minimum transaction limit varies. Some trading platforms allow trading 0.1 lot, that is to say, at least ten barrels can be bought at a time, and some are [-].

Wu Qian took out 20 billion pounds in cash, and Woodward and Barbara used the allocation rules given by the trading platforms of various countries to turn the 20 billion principal into 350 billion pounds.

In the crude oil futures market, [-] or [-] times leverage is considered very conservative. Some aggressive investors will choose [-] times or even [-] times leverage to play games, which is extremely risky!

350 billion pounds, if the position is full, it is enough to buy about 50 contracts, but since leverage is used, it is impossible to operate with a full position, and a certain amount of margin needs to be left, otherwise the position will be forced to close when the short position is suppressed, and the loss will be exhausted !

The two used more than ten hours to build a position of 20 lots, close to 40.00% of the position, and the branches were in trading platform accounts in many countries.

If you only use 20 billion pounds to build a position, you can only buy [-] contracts at most. However, using leverage, the position has increased by four times, and at the same time, a large part of the surplus can be used to cover the position, and the risk factor is greatly reduced.

The charm of leveraged trading magnifies profitability, and at the same time, magnifies the risk of loss! (Novices do not touch!!)
This is definitely a game for the rich. The richer you are, the less risk you have. If you make a mistake, you can use the pyramid to make up for your mistake.

"The Swiss account closed [-] lots..."

"The French account closed 6000 lots and made a profit of [-] million pounds..."

The voices of Barbara and Woodward came one after another, and good news came frequently.

The violent fluctuation of Brent crude oil has aroused great attention worldwide. After a round of sharp increase, the price remained stable between 61 and 61.5.

In less than 5 minutes, Wu Qian closed a total of 20.00 lots, making a profit of more than [-] million pounds, and the profit rate reached an astonishing [-]%!
Standing in front of the computer, Wu Qian listened to the series of numbers, and realized what it means to be emotionally excited, the kind of nervousness during trading, the kind of race against time, the sensory stimulation is too strong.

In particular, when these software are successfully closed, there will be a loud sound of gold coins falling into the pocket, which is very pleasant!
At this moment, images of the bustling crowds in the London and New York Stock Exchanges appeared in his mind, and he could completely understand why some traders would tremble and get excited when typing on the keyboard!

No wonder so many people are keen on capital operation, it is so attractive, and the money comes in so fast.

He made 5 million pounds in 12 minutes, but the war is not over yet, because now Wu Qian still has [-] contracts in his hands, and all of these must be delivered in order to be considered a real profit and escape.

If you can't do it, in case the remaining positions lose money, all the previous victories may be wiped out!
At this moment, Woodward in the video call let out an exclamation, as if he had discovered something serious.

Although the two sides were connected, there was actually a slight delay. One second after Woodward exclaimed, Wu Qian discovered the problem.

Crude oil, which had already rushed to 61.37 yuan, suddenly fell back and fell to 59.68 in one fell swoop.

When someone buys up, someone buys down. Long and short have always been on the opposite side of the transaction. It is difficult to achieve a one-sided situation when interpreting a news and predicting the trend.

It was not over until 59.68, and it remained at this price for about 15 seconds, followed by another drop, and the price hit 57.52, and then it seemed to stabilize, fluctuating by a few cents up and down.

This round of smashing was quite violent, and the bulls were caught off guard, and the bull investors who had just entered the market might be frightened.

It lost 5.00% in an instant. Under the magnification of the leverage effect, it may be a loss of several hundred percent!

In such a short period of time, if it is an investor who uses [-] times leverage and has a heavy position, his position has been forced to close!
Bloody capital market!
It's also the sound of gold coins falling into the pocket. When making money, the gold coins fall into one's own pocket. When losing money, it falls into someone else's pocket!

"Boss, there's a short seller coming into Brent, the momentum is very, very strong! Farke!" Woodward's face was tense, and sweat was visible on the forehead, which was cold sweat.

Futures trading is a game between people, funds and funds. It is a transaction with opponents. No matter how great the good news is, you should never underestimate the opponent's order!
When the external information shows that it is positive, and most of the disbanded groups and some large investors, even most of the large investors are optimistic about the market, we must beware of the appearance of opponents.

Obviously, there is an army of bears among the Brent crude oil at this moment!

Rosalind's hands on the keyboard were tightly clenched into fists, because the price fell again from 57.52, and a short order appeared in the transaction records of various trading software, hitting the price to 54.98!

This price is already lower than the average price ten hours before ten o'clock in China time.

You must know that if there is no major announcement, international futures such as crude oil, gold and foreign exchange will not fluctuate violently.

Wu Qian held more than 20 contracts, with an average price of 55.3, that is to say, at the current price, his remaining 12 contracts are at a total loss!

The long-short battle of Brent crude oil appears!

Wu Qian looked at the price that had already fallen, and was a little puzzled. He asked, "Why didn't you close all the positions when you closed them just now? Are you still expecting it to continue to rise?"

The Canadian account was the first to close the position. At that time, the price of crude oil had not reached the highest point of the previous round of climb. If all the positions were closed at the same time, the profit of 20 lots would be one billion pounds, which was very, very amazing.

Wu Qian thought it was Woodward and Barbara who were greedy, but it was not like that at all.

"It takes time to match the deal. Boss, the short sellers are attacking very quickly. Before your contract order system has time to match, the price has already been suppressed."

Barbara explained.

In principle, as long as the price is reached, there will be no failure to close the position, but there is also a short time difference involved here.

The amount of contracts in Wu Qian's hands is really too large, and it is impossible to sell them all in an instant, unless it is a private large-scale transaction, just like the transaction between him and the Australian Macquarie Investment Bank for the shares of Thames Water Company.

Or there is another way, which is to place a lower price than the current price to make a matchmaking transaction. For example, the current price is 60, and the pending order is [-] to [-] cents lower, and the transaction speed will be greatly improved.

But when there is no turning point, few people will place orders in the opposite direction.

Human nature is more or less greedy.

Woodward and Barbara didn't dare to operate like that. With 20 lots and a difference of 0.5 per barrel, they lost [-] million pounds in the end. Who can bear this responsibility?
After the decline started, if you want to place an order at a low price, unless the operation speed is extremely fast, the price will fall further before the order is placed.

"The British account closed 2000 lots, with a loss of [-] million pounds..." Seeing that the price had stabilized, Woodward hurriedly closed the position, not daring to delay for a moment.

Seeing that the situation is not good, you need to stop the loss immediately, otherwise you may get deeper and deeper. If you can close all positions at the current price, you can still lock in a profit of more than 1 million pounds, which is still considerable.

"Shet!!!"

However, before Woodward and Barbara continued to close their positions, the price of Brent crude oil fell again, falling to 53.35!

New low in 24 hours!
This phenomenon is very bad, the momentum of the bears is very strong, while the bulls are caught off guard and appear to be defeated.

Not to mention Woodward, who was already quite irritable, even Barbara and Rosalind had serious expressions on their faces.

To close the position at the current price, the previous [-] million pounds will be paid for!
Facing the nervousness of several people, Wu Qian couldn't understand it a bit. He said, "Isn't it normal to go up and down? Don't be so nervous. Since you didn't have time to make a deal just now, just wait a while, and it will go up in a while." The one who went up, that...forget it, it’s nothing.”

Wu Qian originally wanted to ask whether he should take advantage of the current price drop and buy some more, but he thought it would be better not to influence the judgment of professionals at this time, so he didn't express his opinion.

Barbara smiled reluctantly when she heard the boss's comfort, and said: "Boss, the game between long and short in the futures market is not that simple. Judging from the volume of transactions, the short is extremely resolute and strong. Just a few minutes ago, Already bought at least 20 short contracts!"

20 lots, Wu Qian had so many contracts at the beginning, but it took more than ten hours to buy slowly, which did not have any impact on the overall situation, but if the 20 lots were condensed into a few minutes, the transaction would be completed. That would be very scary!

Wu Qian didn't speak, and looked at the K-line chart on the screen seriously. He really didn't understand futures trading, but he had a very strange feeling in his mind, and there was a flash of light in his mind.

But that flash of inspiration was too short, and he didn't have time to catch it.

"Gold is rising, and the dollar is also rising... Boss, this is not a good sign." Woodward analyzed crude oil through other dimensions, and felt that it was not easy for the bulls to win this battle!

"Hey, the situation has changed..."

It seems that in order to confirm Wu Qian’s previous words, the bulls began to organize an effective counterattack. Facing the attack of the shorts, the bulls could not sit still. Boosted by the good news, the bulls poured a lot of money into it.

Behind the long Yin line, a long Yang line appeared, and the price rose to 56.22, and then rose again ten seconds later, reaching 57.5 where the short sellers stepped on the market before.

Wu Qian looked at the trading data that kept flashing on the screen, as well as the candlestick chart that jumped up and down violently in seconds, and suddenly said loudly: "57, close all positions! Quick!"

The night in the port was very quiet, and it was even more silent in the top guest rooms of the cruise ship. Rosalind was startled by the roar above her head.

Woodward and Barbara, who were far away in the UK, couldn't keep up with Boss Wu Qingqi's brain circuit for a while.

"Hang low clearance? Good!"

Although Woodward raised doubts, his hands were not idle, and the two quickly operated quickly.

At this time, the counter-offensive organized by the bulls has not ended, and the price of crude oil is still rising steadily.

57.5, 57.6, 57.7...

Every ten seconds and 15 seconds, the price will go up a step.

This kind of market, to put it nicely, is that the bulls are steady and steady, but if you put it another way, it is...

Wu Qian said: "It looks like this bird is going to die, take a step and rest for a while, it is so difficult and painful, walking is difficult, hurry up, throw it away!"

　Thanks to the book friends for the old love and nostalgia, E's 100 rewards.
