Iron Bull Legend

"No, this is my first time doing futures operations. I have done operations in the financial market some time ago, but I didn't try it myself, and I felt a little regretful. So, I decided to try it myself today." Tie Niu answered in a very soft voice, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Actually, we should be more cautious with this kind of operation. You may not know that the crude oil futures market is not like the financial market. It may collapse or soar in the next second due to a piece of news or an order. So, we should be more cautious with this kind of operation next time. I am doing this for the safety of your funds."

"I understand what you mean. In fact, both the financial market and crude oil futures are the same. Look at the trend chart of the market. It's just that the daily fluctuations are somewhat different from the financial trend chart. However, look at the 20-day line and the 10-day line here. There is not much difference from the financial trend chart. It's just that the amount of funds is larger, which creates a roller coaster feeling." When Tie Niu said this, he also realized a problem that he had never thought about before.

That is, even though the crude oil futures market is large, with a market value of tens of trillions of US dollars, entering the market so blatantly with high leverage will definitely attract the attention of certain financial giants. Generally, such leverage operations are carried out in small and scattered orders.

"Oh, I was really careless. Natasha, you should hurry up and increase the amount of margin. Otherwise, if someone spots it and directly raises the price, our short positions will be squeezed out. Ignorance is truly fearless." Tie Niu slapped his forehead in self-mockery and quickly took out another bank card.

Without looking back, he began to analyze the direction of the market. Although he didn't see much fluctuation now, there seemed to be a dangerous trap ahead. A huge hole was dug for him, waiting for him to enter, from which there would be no escape.

"Sir, do you want to increase the leverage ratio? This really carries endless risks."

"No more leverage, this is enough for now. Go quickly, otherwise we will be blown up by the other party or we will have to eat sand tonight." Tie Niu felt that the dangerous murderous intention was approaching, and it seemed too late to withdraw now, as the long orders in the market were constantly expanding.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Natasha ran out of the main room like a gust of wind, without even having time to close the door. Her footsteps became messy and noisy.

"Well, to be honest, I was a little uncomfortable when I played with this thing for the first time. I plunged into it so blatantly. Haha, I was digging a hole for myself." Tie Niu muttered to himself as he looked at the direction of the time-sharing chart. Then, he realized that a more serious conspiracy was approaching him.

"Sir, why don't we just hold half or one-third of our positions without waiting for them to push up the price? Our margin financing funds will be enough to avoid a margin call," Sinai suddenly said something that surprised Tie Niu.

"Do you mean that we should reduce the amount of capital now?" Tie Niu squinted his eyes and watched the slightly upward momentum of the market. The long buy orders were constantly piling up. Then, his brain was constantly thinking and calculating. The price was 65.11 yuan when he bought it, and now it has risen back to the highest point in the morning in an instant, 65.3 yuan, which is 41 cents away from the highest point of 65.71 yuan in the morning. Compared with the 11 yuan he bought in, he has lost 19 cents.

Don't underestimate this is just a 1.9 cent increase. Every one cent increase in price means a loss of millions or tens of millions, which is reducing Tie Niu's margin. Tie Niu is calculating whether those capital giants who are long on the market will push up the price today, and is carefully analyzing it on the 60-minute line.

"Yes, if we reduce our positions, we will reduce our losses. At the same time, the other party will pay less attention to us. In fact, although I have never worked in the crude oil futures market, such a quick and direct exit is still easy to be discovered, which is very disadvantageous to us." Sinai said cautiously.

"Then why didn't you remind me just now?" Tie Niu asked deliberately with some anger.

"Sir, I am following your orders. In operations like this, we only have to obey orders and have no right to speak or make suggestions. This is the rule, and it is also the rule for a qualified trader."

"Haha, you know a lot. Okay, hold on. I just made less money today. I guess this short position won't have much impact on them. If they are so stingy with a market worth tens of trillions, I really can't see their vision. There is no need for them to be my enemy."

"Sir, you are so generous." Sinai seemed to be mocking Tie Niu, but also seemed to be deliberately derogatory.

After Sinai finished speaking, he saw the entire market rise up and then fall down again. He couldn't help but shout to Tieniu again: "Sir, why did the other party fall down again? What's going on?"

"Yeah, this is... Haha, I understand. They are just bluffing. If they want the price to rise again tomorrow, they need to throw some unsteady longs off the bus today. It happens that we are shorting today. Although we have added a leverage of more than 1 trillion, we are also doing the other party a small favor. That is, we are giving many small and medium-sized investors a false impression that shorting has begun and the price of crude oil futures has shown a downward trend." Tie Niu analyzed and explained to Sinai.

For a market worth tens of trillions of US dollars, controlling a trillion US dollars is like a child playing house. People will not take it seriously at all. If you rush in like this, people will think you are a fool and a tourist on a day trip.

According to the large-scale international crude oil futures market, an order of 180 billion yuan can only cause a small ripple, which cannot shake even a corner of the entire market. This is the general trend, and it is probably the truth that small trends cannot be the trend of the general trend.

"Sir, then we won't move from now on?" Sinai still wanted to remind Tie Niu.

"Well, let's wait and see. I guess the other party will take advantage of the decline to create a panic among small and medium-sized investors. It's almost two o'clock, and I guess it will start in the next second." Tie Niu figured it out, and the dangerous and tense feeling on his back disappeared without a trace.

The clattering sound of high heels in the aisle was heard again, still in such a hurry. This should be Natasha jogging back. The additional 10 billion US dollars in margin made her feel panic. She was the only big client she had caught, and she must not be allowed to follow because of too much loss.

In that case, she would lose her only chance here, and in the future, no one would ask her to serve as a big room waiter. It is possible that she would never have such an opportunity again in her life. So, Natasha's inner panic was immediately reflected on her face, that is, nervousness.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my big client and my brother chatting leisurely. There was no trace of the nervousness I felt when I left just now. Could it be that the market has stabilized and the margin on my side has worked?

With a head full of questions, Natasha nervously grasped the corner of her clothes with her hands and came behind the two people. Her eyes were fixed on the screen in front of her brother Sinai, watching to see if there were any changes in the numbers on it, whether he had reduced his position or suffered too much loss.

"Fortunately, I didn't delay anything." Natasha patted the bag on her chest exaggeratedly. She had seen that the numbers on the screen had not changed at all, which made her completely relieved.

"What's wrong? Are you worried that we will lose a lot? Now the price has basically fallen to our opening price. I estimate that it will fluctuate and fall slightly in a while, and will fall sharply by 2:30. That is when we will earn our first pot of gold," Tie Niu analyzed with a smile.

"So, are we going to hold on to these chips today? Or should we just sell them out when the market hits its lowest point today?" Natasha asked, reaching out and holding the mouse while sliding it.

"I will definitely exit my position. My prediction is that the price will go up tomorrow. So why don't we take advantage of the situation and go long at today's lowest point, and wait for tomorrow's highest point to make a profit and exit?"

"Then why not go in tomorrow? Our crude oil futures trading is different from the T+1 in the financial market. You can buy and leave on the same day if you make a profit or close a position. This way, your funds will be safer. If the price drops tomorrow, won't you lose money?" Natasha looked at it and analyzed her own point of view.

"Natasha, you see that today's entry has already aroused the other party's vigilance. So, wouldn't it be better for us to just leave these funds alone and go long on the opposite side? This 100 billion yuan fund will not attract anyone's attention if it remains untouched. We will leave when we make money, haha."

"That's what you said. If the funds are not moved and kept in there, they will not attract the attention of the big moneybags. Your strategy is really good. I have learned another trick. In the past, I have always worked in the lobby. The inflow and outflow of small capitals did not make any splash at all. So, I thought it was the same. This is also the reason why the scattered inflow and outflow of small funds are not paid attention to."

"What you said does make some sense. If you want to directly influence changes in the large capital market, it is better to enter in a diversified manner. It would be best to get more small-cap accounts. However, it will be very troublesome to control them, and it will require the cooperation of so many people." Tie Niu said after thinking for a while.

"That's true. In the crude oil futures market, big funds and big money holders are very eye-catching. As long as those big money holders come, it means they are going to make money and eat meat again. This has become the norm in our hall. Outside, there are also special people to supervise the big money holders. Our retail investors also form a Jedi to pay some money to those people who keep watch. It has become a habit."

"There is such a way? Wisdom really comes from the wise. Those with great wisdom are hidden among the people and the market. The old predecessors were right." Tie Niu couldn't help but sigh.

Tie Niu listened to what Natasha said and admired the wisdom of these small and medium-sized investors who traded in crude oil futures. He was even more impressed by their wisdom. After all, not everyone has such wisdom, nor can everyone think of it.
