Inside the trading room, the atmosphere was tense and heavy, as if the air itself had frozen. On the giant electronic screen, the WTI crude oil futures price ticked like a frantic, dancing sprite, constantly changing. When the price reached $20, they immediately sold their futures.
However, the market was like an unpredictable ocean, turbulent and irregular. Futures prices continued to rise, quickly soaring to $20.23. Li Muchen's brow furrowed, his gaze fixed on the constantly fluctuating numbers, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
His heart felt like it was being gnawed by millions of ants, a source of anxiety. "Am I going to miss out on even more profits?" he wondered to himself. But he knew the market's risks well, so he didn't dare act rashly. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, like a fully drawn bow, ready to make a decision at any moment.
Outside the window, the sunlight was gradually obscured by dark clouds, and the light inside the house also grew dim, as if foreshadowing the uncertain situation. Li Muchen no longer hesitated. He told himself, "I can't be greedy anymore. I need to quit while I'm ahead!" Then he turned to his agent, Lu Yuan, and said firmly, "Lu Yuan, we can't wait any longer. Sell everything!"
Lu Yuan immediately followed his instructions, his fingers moving quickly on the keyboard as if racing against time.
Ultimately, the average price of these futures transactions was around $20.26. Li Muchen breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body finally relaxing. A huge weight lifted from his heart, and he said, "This is a great opportunity."
Lu Yuan responded, "Mr. Li, your decision is very wise."
Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen were also delighted, praising Li Muchen's courage and sharpness. Wen Bixia gently patted Li Muchen's shoulder and said, "Muchen, your composure in the face of danger is really admirable." Li Lizhen also smiled and agreed, "That's right, your judgment is so accurate."
In this transaction, Li Muchen held a total of 1,000 futures contracts. The average purchase price was $15.5 per contract, and the average selling price was $20.26.
The total profit is 4760×1000 = USD. However, due to the deduction of various transaction fees and costs, the actual profit is approximately USD.
After the transaction was completed, Li Muchen thought for a moment, then said to his broker Lu Yuan, "Lu Yuan, help me withdraw $200,000 from my futures account tomorrow. I will need it soon."
Lu Yuan nodded and responded, "Okay, Mr. Li, I will do as you say."
At this moment, a trace of envy flashed in Wen Bixia's eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her cheeks flushed lightly, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she whispered: "Mu Chen, you are really courageous and lucky."
Li Lizhen blinked her big watery eyes, with a somewhat delighted expression on her face. Her cherry lips parted slightly as she said coquettishly, "Yes, this amount of money can do a lot of things."
In the following days, whenever night fell and the lights came on, Li Muchen followed Wen Bixia and Li Lizhen to fully enjoy the carefree and comfortable life.
They go to high-end restaurants, savoring delicious food; stroll along the neon-lit streets, feeling the bustling city; and release their inner joy in luxurious entertainment venues.
During the day, Li Muchen would plunge into oil futures trading with vigor and energy. He was absorbed in analyzing market dynamics, and with his keen insight and decisive decision-making, he thrived in the futures market.
One day, broker Lu Yuan excitedly came to tell Li Muchen, "Mr. Li, good news! Your futures account has now skyrocketed to 17 million US dollars!" Upon hearing this news, Li Muchen's mouth curled up slightly and said, "That's right, my hard work has paid off."
Wen Bixia said coquettishly: "Mu Chen, you are really amazing. The speed at which you make money is simply amazing."
Li Muchen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. The market is unpredictable, so we need to proceed with caution. However, we should also enjoy it appropriately."
Li Muchen's eyes were determined, and he had already made up his mind. He planned to wait patiently for the oil futures price to drop, and then continue to buy without hesitation.
