"So, are you saying that the financial market hunts our liquidity(money)? How does something that is supposed to give us money take our money?". Black asked Echo.
THE MARKET IS DESIGNED TO TAKE FROM MAJORITY AND GIVE TO THE SMART DISCIPLINED MINORITY. IT MOVES FROM MONEY TO MONEY, LIQUIDITY TO LIQUIDITY, PETER TO PAUL.
"Amazing...So, who are the people who partake in the market..?"
INDIVIDUALS, HEDGE FUNDS, BANKS, CORPORATIONS, INSTITUTIONS. WE HAVE LIQUIDITY PROVIDER THAT PROVIDE HUGE FUNDS, AND ALSO BROKERS THAT FACILITIES THE DAILY TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN TRADERS AND LIQUIDITY PROVIDERS.
"Sounds like a huge mesh network of stinking rich money folks.."
YES, BUT NOT REALLY. INDIVIDUALS LIKE YOU CAN PARTAKE IN SUCH TRANSACTIONS, HOWEVER MINUTE, YOU CAN SCALE UP AND BECOME RICH VIA THIS NETWORK. IT IS STATED THAT ABOUT 3% OF RETAIL(INDIVIDUAL) TRADERS MAKE IT LONG TERM IN THE INDUSTRY. HOWEVER, WE HAVE NOTABLE MENTIONS WHO HAD MADE A FORTUNE, YET EXCEPTIONS DOES NOT NEGATE GENERALISATIONS.
"I see, I think it is time you put me on the path of top 1%, what do you think?".
YES, HOW ABOUT WE TEST SOMETHING. I ALREADY HAVE YOUR $10,000 DEPOSITED AND REGISTERED TO A BROKER IN YOUR GOVERNMENT NAME. THESE ARE THE LOGIN DETAILS BELOW. HOW ABOUT WE TAKE A TRADE ON GOLD(XAUUSD).
I HAVE ANALYSED THE STRUCTURE AND BIAS OF GOLD MOVEMENT FOR TODAY, DUE TO USA, CHINA AND RUSSIA/UKRAINE RIFT, I PROJECTED THAT GOLD WILL HAVE AN INCREASE OF 1% IN PRICE MOVEMENT FOR TODAY.
"Oh, nice. I have lot to learn then. So what do I do with this information?".
OPEN YOUR BROKER, AND PLACE A BUY ENTRY AT 2054, AND USE A STOP LOSS PRICE AT 2052, WITH A TAKE PROFIT TARGET AT 2078 PRICE. THE EXPECTED LOSS IF I AM WRONG IS $2000. WHILE IF I AM RIGHT, THE EXPECTED PROFIT IS $28,000. A ONE RATIO FOURTEEN RISK TO REWARD TRADE.
"Really!" Black coughed as he choked on his saliva.
"What the hell...?".
"But if you're a machine built on 100% accuracy, why should you expect losses....?"
WELL, I AM MAN-MADE AND PRONE TO A POSSIBLE 0.000001% MALFUNCTIONING ERROR. SO LOSSES MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.
Black logged in to his broker account, with a sweaty and fidgety hands, he place the transaction order exactly as stated by the Echo.
Looking at the AI bot, he asked, "So, what should I expect next and how does this works?".
The bot was still conversing with Black when the screen flashed and instantly his broker's balance started reading in a negative -$500.
"Wow, we are in loss I think..."
The AI bot (Echo) blinked, WELL, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STAE OF AMERICA, DONALD TRUMP JUST ANNOUNCED A 100% TARIFF TAX ON CHINA PRODUCTS, THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE SHARP DECLINE, WHICH IS IN RESPONSE TO THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
THE MARKET WILL HAVE AN AFTER EFFECT REACTION IN 30 SECONDS.
And suddenly, his balance which was at negative -$654 started moving in profit, in 10 seconds, it was already on $1200 profit and running.
"This is amazingly unbelievable. Why does the balance colour changed from red to blue?".
THE RED COLOUR OF YOUR EQUITY MEANS YOU ARE IN A LOSS, WHILE THE BLUE INDICATES YOU ARE IN PROFIT.
"That is $4800 right now on the screen. What the fuck! I'm richhhhh... Can't you see ?"
WELCOME TO THE CLUB, BLACK.
The bot twitched all of a sudden.
"What?" Black asked.
I HAVE THREE MINUTES LEFT TO THE ALLOWED FIFTEEN MINUTES OF CONNECTION, AND I HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO THE ONE MINUTE BENCHMARK FOR WARNING, BUT I CAN FEEL THAT I AM BEING ATTACKED BY A MALWARE. THE ONLY SOLUTION I HAVE NOW IS TO SHUT DOWN, ELSE I MIGHT BE BREACHED.
"Shit! Shit!!. Okay, shut down now".
Black pulled out the device from his computer before Echo gave a shut down prompt. His heart beating fast. After he had calmed down, all that was before him was his computer and his fluctuating equity which was already at $13,456 in profits.
"That was close."
"Arthur really did know how to make a lot of enemies. Nice try boss..".
30,000km away, another wave of rants from frustration rolled and shook the building.
In another location, Arthur's lawyer, Mr John D'badtson was signing off documents with a bold visible Land and Properties on its cover page and belonging to Mr Arthur Lannister. Below Arthur's name was a property transfer note typed eligibly with William Junior name below.
It seem Arthur had planned and prepared that his Real estate properties be transferred to William Junior with certain conditions. The conditions are stated in the documents which are closed, of course. All that was need was William Junior's signature.
But with the nature of Black's situation, as a fugitive, he cannot progress with the process. Even if Mr John D'badtson knew the residing location of Black, he would be risking Black's security and anonymity by going there to facilitate the transfer of Arthur's will. So all he could do was ensure the documents were safe, secured and away from people.
The weather suddenly turned dark. John checked his window to see what is happening. It was not looking like it is going to rain. Yet, he felt a dark aura around him. It seems disaster loom around.
On instinct, he arranged the documents and placed them in the box in front of him. He slid one of the floor tiles under his desk, opened an underground safe, and positioned the box into the safe. Locking it shut, he inputs his password and slid back the floor tile.
Mr John stood up and walked towards the door to stretch his legs, few steps away from the door, suddenly, his door was breached open by a force he could not comprehend. The door shattered, and the force wave slammed John into the wall. A group of black well equipped uniformed men rushed in, with laser focused guns pointing headshot towards John.
"Freeze! Lay down with your hands slowly raised up". One of the men shouted.
John was disoriented, as his eyes were blurred and his hearing was distorted with high pitched noise.
Two uniformed men swopped in and immediately cuffed and bundled John, he was dragged up and ushered towards a black van.
The rest of the men ransacked his office, checking every nooks and crannies, pick up interesting and valuable documents or equipments that might be of use.
Along the way, John regained some orientation enough to ask those men who took him hostage who they are and where they are taking him to.
"We are from Black Rock Inc. And if we are clear, we know that you are Mr John D'badtson, who happened to be Mr Arthur Lannister's lawyer before he died". One of the men answered.
"Yes, I happened to be late Mr Arthur's lawyer, but what does that have to warrant this unauthorized and unacceptable method of arrest?".
John's questions was met with a moment of silence.
"I demand an answer to this, else, I am going to file a lawsuit against Black rock for ....."
One of the men slammed the butt of his gun on John's head, and John fell into another episode of unconsciousness.
The van drove speedily to their destination.
