Chapter 2 Applying for a Trader
"I am still the boy I used to be, without any change..."
Li Yue really wants to sing a song.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible not to change. Time and experience can change a person too much. At least Li Yue's mood has undergone earth-shaking changes.
He is no longer the boy he used to be!
If there is no change, it is only the appearance, and it is still so handsome!
Is handsome capital?
yes!
However, being handsome is not very important to a man, and he has not yet planned to make a living by his face.
What Li Yue wants to master is real capital. He wants to make money, make a lot of money, at least realize his financial freedom first.
Yes, set a small goal first, not one hundred million, not marrying a rich and beautiful woman, but achieving financial freedom.
No one is more eager to achieve financial freedom than him. He has been desperate for this, climbing to the top of the mountain, and falling into the abyss!
Now that I’m back, I still don’t change my original intention!
This time, he wants to see the most beautiful scenery.
Looking at the night view of the Magic City with bright lights and wine, Li Yue felt like a dream, and at the same time, his heart was surging, and he had another goal.
In 2007, it was too late to conquer Erma and take the ride!
Well, he's late!
However, there are still many things that can be done. With more than ten years of foresight, if he cannot take off, it would be better to find a piece of tofu to kill him, so as not to embarrass the reborn.
What big incident happened in 2007?
The only thing that impressed Li Yue was that the Chinese stock market has been booming this year, rising to 6124 points. Countless people made a lot of money in the rise, and eventually lost their underwear during the fall.
At the same time, this year, Li Yue graduated from university and stood at the crossroads of his life.
Before reporting to Tencent, he was a trainee trader for US stocks for three months. This trading experience even planted a spark in his heart and eventually changed his life trajectory.
In 2007, US stock traders were still a very fresh and mysterious profession for Chinese people. They seemed to have only appeared in Wall Street and some Hong Kong films before, and Li Yue also accidentally broke in.
Many years later, he was tired of the nine-to-five days, and the fire in his heart was ignited. He made a decision to resign and trade stocks with cruelty. He made a fortune of over 100 million yuan, but lost to nothing. His life was ups and downs several times, and he had seen the most beautiful scenery on the mountain and was the most poisonous beaten by the social teacher, but he never regretted it.
Perhaps, this is fate!
"Damn, I'm a little nervous. We all study computer science and are not majoring in finance. I wonder if we can successfully apply for this US stock trader?"
Standing in the center of Lujiazui, Wei Ran looked up at the towering office building in front of him, rubbing his fat hands, and looking nervous.
Becoming an awesome trader, killing all over the world and dominating the world in the capital market has always been a dream in his heart.
Although this dream is a bit too late, just like when I was a teenager, I always felt an excitement and impulse in my heart when I watched the Hong Kong movie "The Great Time".
"Hao nervous? The trader's profession does not look at majors, academic qualifications, or work experience. There are no questions at all after passing the interview."
Li Yue waved his hand and led Xiaopang into the office building.
It is indeed not difficult to apply for a US stock trader. The difficulty is always how to make money from the market!
Whether in the US or domestic market, only a small number of people can truly make money.
Since he set a small goal to achieve financial freedom, he cannot take the conventional path, and of course this first pot of gold must be seized in the US stock market.
It’s better to make money from Americans than to make money from Americans, and it’s great to think about it!
When Li Yue and Wei Ran entered the company called Sweet, they saw that there were 20 or 30 young people coming for the interview at the same time. They were all ready to go and their faces were full of excitement.
Li Yue knew that among this group, there were graduates from prestigious universities, ordinary undergraduate graduates, and even many technical school students from colleges and universities.
As the saying goes, heroes don’t ask where they come from, US stock traders don’t look at their education, or they don’t mind whether they are just a piece of paper, and only look at who can really make money after the big waves are washed away.
An unknown boy may also have tens of millions of dollars in his hands, and even become a Wall Street wolf.
There are very few professions that do not discriminate against education, have no work experience requirements, and have infinite possibilities.
There is no upper limit for this profession, you can make a lot of money if you have the ability. This is the most attractive thing for young people.
Of course, this industry is also very cruel, and the elimination rate is very terrifying.
The interviewer was a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old and slightly fat. He was not wearing formal clothes, but just dressed in casual clothes, T-shirt and jeans, and looked very casual.
However, there was a faint sharpness in his eyes, like a gloomy wolf's eyes. This was a cruel man who had really fought in the capital market.
He didn't read everyone's resumes, but just threw them aside at will, and then directly took dozens of people to the trading hall.
I saw dozens of computers in the huge trading hall, each computer host is equipped with two monitors, and the monitors are densely packed with US stock codes.
Young traders were sitting in front of the computer. Perhaps because the US stock market had not opened yet, they all looked very lazy. Some chatted casually, some lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones, and some even lie on the table to sleep.
As for the boss who came in with a wave of newcomers, those traders didn't even raise their eyelids, they did what they should do.
This atmosphere is a world of difference from ordinary companies.
Here, the one who can make money is the old man. Everyone just trades without looking at anyone's expression.
There is no need to be humble and kneel, nor do you need to try your best to think about unnecessary social interactions. As long as you can make money, the manager will serve you. Those risk control ladies will also give you admiring and envious eyes from time to time.
This is also the initial reason why Li Yue likes trading.
Of course, his career has nothing to do with the young lady, he just simply likes trading.
Simple, exciting, pure!
This feeling cannot be experienced in a coder's position.
Looking at the scenes like Wall Street trading halls, it can make people's adrenaline soar in an instant.
"Damn, this is the US stock trading company? Many stock codes are pounding in front of your eyes, as if they are coming to the trading hall on Wall Street!"
Wei Ran looked at the colorful stocks on the computer screen, and looked excited and excited, with a urge to enter the capital market and make a big move.
The young man is still so irritable and not calm at all.
"Calm, calm, impulse is the devil!"
Li Yue was calm inside and patted Wei Ran on the shoulder gently.
In fact, there is not much difference between US stocks and domestic A-shares. It is simply that the market is more mature and the trading software is more complex and perfect, and there are no limits on daily limits and limits.
By the way, you can also short.
If he remembers correctly, his childhood friend was too excited because of his first trading US stocks. As a result, he lost his position on the first day because he shorted GS (Goldman Sachs), which led to missing his favorite trading career.
The little fat man is quite brave. On the first day of trading, he dared to short the big investment bank Goldman Sachs. As a result, he was taught to be a person every minute. He lost his position in three seconds and handed over the first life tuition fee of $20.
Finally, he somehow lived to Africa and lived a happy life without any shame or impatience.
He had just arrived in the other end of Africa for a few years and occasionally sent himself some photos.
Yes, the girl is very dark and the scenery is beautiful.
Li Yue is not sure whether he should change Wei Ran's fate afterwards.
"U.S. stock traders do not value education, but only look at actual trading ability and ability to control risks."
The hiring manager spoke.
"Here are some trading rules for US stocks and risks that need to be paid attention to. You can understand it first!"
Then, a beautiful risk control lady handed everyone a piece of paper of A4 size, which listed some rules and precautions for US stock trading.
"You can study the trading rules. As long as the US stock market has traded 20 transactions before the close of the closing and there is no liquidation, you can stay and become an intern trader. If the transactions are less than 20 transactions or liquidation are all eliminated."
The hiring manager spoke lightly.
"In principle, our company will not restrict the trading of stocks, that is, traders can choose any stock to trade. However, I need to remind you at the end, newcomers should not be too ambitious and not be stocks other than their abilities. Remember, controlling risks is always the first rule for a qualified trader. The loss limit of newcomers is only $20, and they will get out if they lose their positions on the first day."
The hiring manager's eyes gradually became sharp.
He is also a trader and is very aware of the newcomer's impetus and ambitions, as well as various problems.
If too many restrictions are made at the beginning of trading, it is very likely that some talented traders will be directly killed.
Without risk control, these newcomers will turn into wild horses that will break the reins and will lose to bankruptcy in minutes.
Of course, the loss amount of newcomers is very small, and their company can still bear this risk.
From an intern trader to a formal trader, there are also a series of assessments.
Today, we must first eliminate a group of people who are ambitious and have no ability to control risks.
Chapter completed!
