(Note that any currency pair used was based on General currency notations in order to prevent misconceptions on my part as the Author.)
Having dismissed Zaria, who left not a long while ago, Rino now lay in bed, with his attention focused on the bright screen of his phone.
He had agreed with Zaria to go and visit the Red Tann by night, since, that was mainly their time of operation.
Now he had free time to himself, he wanted to make use of it immensely.
He will now place his trade accordingly, and complete a second goal after which, he will begin working to complete the third and get a mission.
His finger hovered over the apps on his phone as he selected the WeBull app.
He went straight to open the economic calendar.
If he was going to need the system, he would call upon it... but this was his area of specialization.
He was sure to have mastered trading in his former life but had only lacked the funds to put into action what he learned.
However, he was going to make use of the system to ascertain the correctness of whatever his output would become.
In the economic calendar, he went right to the integrated news section and began to read the information based on the two currency pairs he had always gotten the advice to invest in.
"GBPUSD and EURUSD."
And there, he saw it.
Based on these pairs, two upcoming macroeconomic events had been highlighted in red, and this was expected to be happening the next month.
"Good thing I'm a month trader, the best trading timeframe."
He swiped down the notification bar of his phone and saw the date.
It was the 30th day of May in that year, which meant, his expected returns would be coming at the end of the next month.
He opened the two macroeconomic events, and read them carefully.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
«↓ Bank of Lagu Interest Rate Decision | Scheduled to take place on 25th June ↑»
«↓ Esme Central Bank (ECB) Policy Statement | Scheduled to take place on 28th June ↑»
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bank of Lagu?"
Rino grimaced.
That was the same area where his Titan Vault's Bank was located. And, the system had projected a possible establishment that was going to boost its potential.
Maybe, this interest rate decision that will be reached on this day will serve as a foundation factor. Therefore, an increase in interest rate is expected.
Plus, the system had scheduled its prediction to be July.
"That makes sense," Rino murmured and scrolled to the next set of pieces of information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
«↓ Analysis on the proposed interest placement projected a hawkish tone from the BOL ↑»
"Okay, okay. Hawkish tone, which means there's a likely increase in interest rates."
Rino scrolled as the news continued.
«↓ The projection was driven by stronger-than-expected inflation and consumer spending data in Lagu ↑»
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That's it for BOL. Let's see what Esme Central Bank has in stock too."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
«↓ The ECB is likely to remain dovish ↑»
«↓ This is due to the fact that ECB has been extending stimulus efforts to support weaker economies of the country ↑»
------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was the information contained in relation to each event.
Using his strategic mind, Rino believed the market would begin pricing in the expectations before the official announcements were made.
This was the foundation for him, for a swing trade using the two selected pairs.
He, however, was going to apply the strategy he knew too well.
Smart Money Concept (SMC) Strategy.
It was the type of trading methodology that mimics institutional logic.
This was the kind Rino blended into.
It mainly laid its focus on:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
«↓ Liquidity Pools | where stops are usually placed ↑»
«↓ Order Blocks | zones where banks place large orders ↑»
«↓ Break of Structure (BOS) | Change of Character (CHoCH) signals ↑»
------------------------------------------------------------------------
He brought up the GBPUSD daily market chart, using the 4-hour timeframe and marked out the previous swing low.
The previous swing low is a spot, where retail traders would have placed their stop losses.
Of course, he wasn't an average retail trader.
After marking this spot, he noticed something interesting.
A bullish order block was just sitting below the liquidity pool, and so, he thought according to Smart Money.
Smart Money will intend to go long, thereby pushing the price down so as to grab that liquidity, after which they will launch a reversal.
"Perfect!"
He exclaimed with a flick of his thumb against his middle finger.
Changing the market chart to EURUSD, he noticed it was entirely the opposite.
There was a bearish order block above a key resistance zone, where he spotted a Break of Structure, followed by a Change of Character.
These were classic signs that smart money was ready to short.
Switching over to the GBPUSD market chart, he dropped his phone on his bed beside him and stretched himself well enough before returning to his phone.
System.
He called on the system to help him make the trade calculations carefully based on his analysis before execution.
He already planned to use $1 million for the Forex trade investment, splitting the sum into halves for the two currency pairs.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
«↓ Manual Analysis Confirmed | 90% Accuracy Detected ↑»
«↓ Based on Analysis | GBPUSD Long Trade ↑»
> Capital: $500,000
> Entry Point: 1.23750 [After liquidity sweep and BOS confirmation]
> Stop Loss: 1.22500 [125 pips SL]
> Take Profit: 1.27000 [325 pips TP]
> Lot Size: 50 standard lots [Based on the notation - 1 lot = 100,000 units = $10 per pip]
> Expected Gain: $162,500 [325 pips x $10 x 50 lots]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rino smiled.
"That would leave me with a balance of $662,500. Not bad."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
«↓ Based on Analysis | EURUSD Short Trade ↑»
> Capital: $500,000
> Entry Point: 1.08800
> Stop Loss: 1.09850 [105 pips SL]
> Take Profit: 1.05000 [380 pips TP]
> Lot Size: 50 standard lots
> Expected Gain: $197,600 [380 pips x $10 x 50 lots]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"$697,600 is well... not so bad."
Rino muttered, then clicked EXECUTE.
After he had placed his trade, he switched over to the Stocks tab.
That was the main determinant where he was sure to gather an extremely huge sum, depending on his evaluations, and the current statistics.
First of all, he watched Halford Tech's market trend and noticed it had begun to diminish.
"Just as expected."
He wondered if the Hedge guy was able to sell his shares before this moment. Well, it shouldn't bother him.
"I should get on with my business, Mister Cat," he soliloquized.
Switching to the data platform, his interest was piqued on sighting two tickers that blinked red to green on SolaraTech and VantaCom Industries.
He chose to begin with SolaraTech.
Before he performed any trade on these, he sought his system's help.
He was not too good with stock trading, and wasn't ready to ascertain huge losses.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
«↓ SolaraTech [SLT]
> The company had just signed a long-term solar panel contract.
> A bullish pennant pattern will form in seconds
> Rise in volume will be steady
> MACD crossover will occur.
> RSI was at 49-neutral, but will shift to bullish
> Estimated Surge: Market shares are predicted to reach the price of $152/share in the next 4 weeks ↑»
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rino immediately moved his eyes to the current pricing of the shares and was shocked.
$20/share?
"Holy Jesus!"
He immediately entered 25,000 shares in the order dialog and clicked BUY.
So, he was flipping $500,000 as investment capital to $3,800,000 expected income.
"It's... Okay."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
«↓ VantaCom [VNTC]
> Has just patented a new microchip cooling technology.
> No headlines yet, but inner purchases had increased over time.
> Prediction: 75% Profit expected. 25% Loss expected.
> Estimated Surge: Market shares are predicted to reach the price of $130/share in the next 4 weeks ↑»
------------------------------------------------------------------------
75% profit was not showing a promise for Rino, but he was going to take the risk.
The cost per share at the moment was $25/share and was going to reach the point of $130/share.
That wasn't going to be a bad deal after all.
He purchased 20,000 shares and counted his fingers.
If everything goes well, he will be expecting $2,600,000 by the end of next month after he sells his shares.
That meant he was going to be profiting $5.4M from Stock Trading.
"Well, still nice."
Having placed his trade investments, he dropped his phone by his side on the bed and rested backward.
Then, he got the usual notification from the system.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
«↓ 2¡3 Goal Achieved ↑»
«↓ 2¡3: Make your first trade investment using funds from your WeBull account | Completed ↑»
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now, we plan the next goal," he folded his hands on his chest, wanting to smile himself to sleep when he got a call from the intercom.
"I wish to see you now, Rino."
That was Josh's voice.
