My Side Job is a Trader

After returning home, Zhang Xin took a shower immediately to wash away his exhaustion, made a cup of tea, and sat on the open-air balcony to enjoy the cool.

This is the reason why he likes this house the most. In Songjiang, although the rent is not as high as that in the urban area, this house is still more expensive than other houses.

One is that the location is good, close to the subway station, and it is convenient to travel; the other is that this house is rented directly by the landlord, so there are no partitions in the house, and the people who live with me are of high quality.

Of course, what surprised Zhang Xin the most was that there was an open-air balcony outside the room in the attic on the second floor. Sitting on the open-air balcony at night, playing with the mobile phone while blowing the breeze, was indescribably comfortable, which also made the originally fast-paced Life is a little slower.

In fact, Zhang Xin doesn't like this kind of fast-paced city life very much, it will make him feel like a walking dead, but the position of programmer determines that he must stay in this kind of first- and second-tier big cities, because there are only first- and second-tier cities. will provide a lot of job opportunities.

The next day, Zhang Xin got up at seven o'clock on time, washed his face and brushed his teeth, took care of his messy hair, and then changed into business-like clothes.

Since coming to this company, Zhang Xin has estimated the distance and time very accurately. It takes 20 minutes to walk to the bus station, and then it takes about 5 minutes to wait for the bus. The total distance is about 10 kilometers. It takes half an hour on a sunny day and rainy Days require an extra ten minutes delay.

Generally, it is around 8:30 when you arrive at the company, and you can just eat the breakfast provided by the company. The working time is 9:30. During this period after breakfast, you can just watch the financial news in advance, and then observe the stock market before the market opens. bidding situation.

The opening auction time of the stock market is from 9:15 to 9:25. Generally, the opening auction of the stock market can reflect the expectations of investors on the market that day, and sometimes the main funds will also use the auction to test the trend of the day.

The stock market opens on time at 9:30, which was stipulated at the beginning of the stock market's establishment.

As a programmer, the working atmosphere is relatively relaxed. I have just started working, and everyone has not yet entered the working state. Everyone is chatting and turning on the computer.

Those who have just graduated are chatting about where they ate yesterday or what movie they watched with their girlfriends.

Those who are a little older focus on various financial management, and many of them are investing in stocks.

"By the way, Brother Xin, don't you also speculate in stocks? What do you think of the recent market situation?"

Suddenly Chen Shiqing asked Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin smiled and said: "How can I compare with Chen Ge? There won’t be so many people losing money.”

Chen Shiqing and Zhang Xin belonged to the same project team, and Chen Shiqing was in charge of back-end development.

Zhang Xin's project team is relatively large. When Zhang Xin participated in the project requirements review meeting for the first time, he was shocked.

Zhang Xin had only worked in a small company before, and the total number of IT personnel did not exceed six. As a result, this company had twenty or thirty people in just one project team. At that time, a conference room was full of people, and even Half of the people need to bring their own chairs.

This also opened Zhang Xin's horizons, knowing what the so-called R\u0026D department of a large company is all about.

One of the biggest differences between a large company and a small company is that in a small company, one person needs to do many things, and even one person is responsible for the entire project.

But big companies are different, they will recruit a lot of people, and then disassemble a project into modules one by one, each person is only responsible for a small part of the business, and then upload and submit the code through the version control tool, and then the person in charge will package and upload it to the server .

Therefore, large companies put more emphasis on teamwork, and sometimes it is inevitable to modify the same code. Code conflicts can be prevented through version control tools.

Zhang Xin had never used these necessary foundations before, so it took him almost a month to adapt to this team development model.

After Zhang Xin completed his task, he opened the stock software.

Because I was busy adapting to the new company some time ago, I didn't spend much energy on trading, and the market has not been turbulent during this period of time, always fluctuating around 3000 points.

Now that he has stabilized in the new company, after the work tasks are completed, he can study the market to see if there is a chance to move the funds that have been dormant in the bank for three months.

Since Zhang Xin's funds are limited, and the smallest transaction unit in the stock market is one hundred shares, Zhang Xin doesn't have many options.

I found a more authoritative financial website, took a quick look at the titles of the articles in each section, and basically could determine the section that performed better today.

With that narrowed down, all that's left is to pick individual stocks.

This is a bit like buying vegetables in the vegetable market. First, decide whether to eat meat or vegetarian. After the general range is determined, the next step is to go to the stalls to choose and compare.

Stock trading is essentially speculation. At least the domestic stock market has a relatively strong speculative atmosphere. Many people want to make a fortune in it, trying to achieve wealth freedom through the stock market.

Zhang Xin scoffed at this. He used to work in a brokerage company and was trained as a trader. As far as he knew, few people in this market could successfully take money out of the stock market.

It may be easy to make a profit once or twice, but it is very difficult to make a profit continuously. Even Buffett, who enjoys the title of "stock god", has an annual rate of return of only 20 to 30%.

But there are always some lunatics who want to obtain more than ten times the profit through the stock market.

Of course, the stock market is indeed a place where miracles happen, because it is not uncommon to get rich through the stock market. Zhang Xin once saw a report before, saying that someone in Jinling made a few hundred thousand principal through trading. Ten million.

It is because of these myths of wealth creation that it attracts a steady stream of people to speculate in stocks.

Zhang Xin knows how scary the market is, so he has been walking on eggshells with great care, full of fear for this market.

Small capital means that the risk that can be taken is very small. If you don’t pay attention, the money you have saved in half a year may be in vain.

Therefore, Zhang Xin tirelessly observes every stock to be selected, including the company's operating conditions behind it, disclosed financial information, and even some gossip. He will pay attention to it.

When he picked a stock of a steel company, Zhang Xin suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart.

This is completely different from the previous whim feeling. Zhang Xin was a little overwhelmed, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to obey the feeling, so he clicked to buy stocks, and he bought with a full position.

The trading volume of a few hundred shares is not impressive at all in the stock market, and the transaction was completed almost instantly.

Surprisingly, not long after buying it, the stock turned green, but Zhang Xin was not too nervous. After all, he bought everything, and he couldn't sell it today anyway.
