Chapter 048: Market Sense
Zhao Yang was well aware that these SSR stocks were not just possibly susceptible to manipulation, they were definitely going to be manipulated!
It could be said that each SSR stock would be manipulated several times overnight, and if they weren't manipulated, they wouldn't be called SSR!
The key was that there were no signs when these stocks were being manipulated. They were manipulated suddenly without giving any reaction time!
If Chen Wei wanted to make money tonight, there was only one way: he had to close his positions immediately!
If he didn't close his positions now, as soon as these stocks were manipulated later, he would definitely lose money!
Seeing that Chen Wei didn't seem to be preparing to close his positions either, and was calmly watching, Zhao Yang sneered.
When he lost money later, let's see what he had to say!
The others stopped trading as well, quietly watching.
As time passed, these dozen or so stocks still hadn't been manipulated and were gradually declining.
Chen Wei's unrealized gains were increasing, and with what he earned from QTT, his total profit was approaching thirty thousand.
People began to whisper:
"Chen Ge's luck is unbeatable!"
"Yeah, a dozen or so SSR stocks and not a single one got manipulated upwards! Impressive!"
"This is not just about skill, it's mystical!"
"By the way, which God of Wealth does Chen Ge worship at home? I want to worship one too!"
...
Zhao Yang's face darkened.
He cursed inwardly. It was really bizarre. Usually, these stocks were manipulated like crazy. But today, not a single one was manipulated; they all just went down quietly!
Was Chen Wei's luck really that good?
Listening to the discussions around him, Zhao Yang felt increasingly annoyed and couldn't help but shout, "Shut up! Go back to your desks and trade properly. What are you all gossiping about here for?"
Everyone obediently returned to their desks but kept an eye on the stocks Chen Wei was trading.
Chen Wei was also puzzled.
Why weren't any of them manipulated?
He had multiple windows open at the moment, each monitoring a stock, and he had prepared exit orders in advance. He was waiting for them to be manipulated so he could reverse his positions and go long.
But now, none of them were being manipulated.
Although he could still make money this way, it felt somewhat unsatisfying...
Just as he was feeling frustrated, suddenly, five of them were manipulated almost simultaneously!
The most manipulated one rose by 1.5 RMB, while the least rose by 0.5 RMB!
Chen Wei held a significant number of short positions in these five stocks, with the most being over 300 lots and the least being over 180 lots.
The five stocks together incurred a loss of over 120,000 RMB!
The whole office erupted!
Zhao Yang stood up abruptly, shouting loudly, "I knew it! I knew it! I told you to close your positions..."
But before he could finish his sentence, Chen Wei took action!
Time rewound ten seconds.
Zhao Yang was still frowning, but then he saw Chen Wei quickly closing his positions and going long!
Zhao Yang was bewildered!
He had been watching the market all this time and hadn't noticed anything unusual!
Chen Wei's actions left Zhao Yang scratching his head!
Just as he was puzzled, Chen Wei's five long positions were manipulated almost simultaneously!
Because he had to manage multiple stocks simultaneously, Chen Wei couldn't place large orders for each stock. He entered only 100 lots for each.
In an instant, he made over 40,000 RMB in profit!
The office erupted again!
Everyone rushed over, eager to see how much money Chen Wei had lost.
But when they looked, they were stunned!
"Wow, Chen Ge, when did you go long?"
Someone asked in astonishment.
Chen Wei didn't have time to explain; he quickly closed his long positions.
The five stocks earned him over 43,000 RMB.
Together with the previous earnings of 28,000 RMB, his total profit for the day was over 71,000 RMB!
He closed all the remaining short positions and leaned back in his chair, looking at Zhao Yang with a smile, "How about it, Supervisor Zhao?"
Zhao Yang was still dumbfounded.
When he heard Chen Wei's question, he asked, "How did you know?"
At that moment, Chen Wei had over a dozen stocks in his hands. Within seconds, he closed five of them and went long. The rest of the stocks he held remained short. And exactly those five stocks were manipulated, while the ones he didn't touch remained unaffected!
This indicated that Chen Wei must have seen that these five stocks were about to be manipulated, or he wouldn't have acted that way!
However, there were no signs of manipulation on the market at that moment. At least Zhao Yang hadn't noticed anything unusual!
So how did Chen Wei see it?
Not only Zhao Yang but everyone else was puzzled too.
They all stared at the stocks, unable to see anything unusual. They thought Chen Wei must have lost money, but when they checked, he had actually made money!
Everyone looked at Chen Wei in disbelief.
"Market sense,"
Chen Wei said with a faint smile.
Everyone was speechless.
Zhao Yang was particularly frustrated.
He thought inwardly, What nonsense is this? Fooling around with amateurs is one thing, but Zhao Yang had been a trader for over a decade. Did he not know what market sense was?
Market sense was based on signals on the market!
But just now, there were no signals on the market at all. So where did Chen Wei's market sense come from?
It was almost like he could predict the future...
"Supervisor Zhao, about our bet..."
Chen Wei looked at Zhao Yang's back and called out.
"Do whatever you want. I can't be bothered with you!"
Zhao Yang didn't even turn around and walked back to his office angrily.
"Nice one, Lao Chen! How did you do it?"
After Zhao Yang left, Zheng Junpeng exclaimed in amazement.
He had been watching those stocks too but hadn't noticed anything unusual.
"It's hard to explain. I just had a strong feeling that these five stocks were about to go up, so I went long."
Chen Wei couldn't explain it properly. The system's operation was confidential, but since Zheng Junpeng had a good relationship with him, he didn't want to brush him off.
"Wow, that's really impressive market sense! It's almost like predicting the future! No wonder you dared to do it. If I had that kind of market sense, I'd do it too. But anyway, next time you have such an opportunity, give us a shout. You eat meat, and we'll have some soup."
Zheng Junpeng shook his head with a smile.
