King of the Wilderness

Chapter 498: Chapter 274: Massive Gains After Exiting the Stage (Part 2)

Aliya looked at Lin Yu’an’s calm profile illuminated by the cold light of the screen, and asked softly, ”Honey... how’s it going? Scoot and the others...”

”They’ve all boarded the ship.” Lin Yu’an didn’t turn his head, just reached back to hold their hands, pulling them to his side.

”Now,” he took a deep breath, his voice deep and powerful, ”let’s end this war.” 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

He moved the mouse to the trading interface of his offshore trust securities account.

Aliya and Emily leaned in at the same time, their heads tightly pressed together, staring at the small screen.

At this moment, the GME stock price K-line chart had completely broken free from all technical analysis constraints. The green bullish line, like a firework lit by the hand of God, was shooting up crazily!

US Dollars... 450 US Dollars... 500 US Dollars! Each jump in the stock price represented tens of millions of dollars in book value growth.

Aliya felt her heart almost leaping out of her throat, and she instinctively covered her mouth with her hand, afraid that she might scream out loud from being overly tense.

She looked at the account valuation section, and the string of numbers had turned into an astronomical figure she couldn’t begin to comprehend, making her feel dizzy.

”Honey... it’s still rising! It’s still rising!” Her voice trembled with excitement.

”This is the final madness.” Lin Yu’an’s voice, like a piece of ice tossed into boiling oil, instantly calmed the atmosphere, ”What you’re seeing isn’t value; it’s greed. And burning greed can’t last long.”

He pointed at the screen’s almost undistinguishable buy order data flow: ”Look, everyone’s buying now, no one is selling. This is not normal. It means liquidity is drying up, and once the tide turns, a stampede will happen with no chance to escape.”

He added, ”We have too many shares, almost six hundred thousand shares. If we dump them all at once at market price, it won’t just lower our own average trade price, it’ll also immediately alert the SEC and everyone else.”

Aliya asked nervously, ”Then... what should we do?”

”We need to leave the market like a ghost, silently.”

Emily’s eyes lit up: ”The ghost trading method?”

”That’s right.”

Lin Yu’an offered no further explanation, his fingers began to dance across the keyboard and mouse with astonishing speed.

Instead of using the simple trading interface, he opened the algorithm trading module built into the trading software, extremely complex.

The screen instantly popped up dozens of parameter setting windows filled with terms that ordinary people couldn’t understand: VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price), TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price), Iceberg Order...

”Matty’s ghost trading method, the core is splitting and disguise.” Lin Yu’an set the parameters rapidly while giving live instruction to his two lovers beside him.

”First, splitting. I will split our total of 577,777 shares through the algorithm into three hundred separate, small random orders of between 500 and 3000 shares each.”

His finger chose a complex option in a dropdown menu labeled ”execution logic,” ”Then, disguise. We can’t act like a panicked retail investor, frantically placing sell orders.”

”We need to make the algorithm mimic a high-frequency trader. It will automatically place buy and sell orders at the bid and ask prices, rapidly canceling and reposting, creating the illusion of normal market fluctuations.”

”The real trick is the iceberg order here. This command further hides each of our split small orders.” He hit the final confirmation key.

”For example, a 2000-share sell order will only show a 100-share order size in the market. Only when these 100 shares are filled will the next 100 shares automatically appear, until the full 2000 shares are completed.”

”Like an iceberg floating in the sea, everyone can only see the small part above the surface, never knowing how big it is underwater.”

”Through these three layers of disguise,” he finished setting the last parameter and pressed the button to start the algorithm.

”Now, our near six hundred thousand shares will flow into the frenzied buying river of the market like countless small streams, quietly without making a ripple, until our positions are completely empty.”

As he pressed the button, the data stream on the screen began to roll at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Countless buy, sell, and cancel orders were automatically completed in milliseconds.

Aliya and Emily were completely stunned. They felt like they were witnessing not a stock trade, but a digital war dominated by code and algorithms, full of precise calculations and the art of deceit.

Lin Yu’an leaned back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest, like a general who had just commanded an army, calmly watching the screen’s continuously decreasing position count.

500,000 shares... 400,000 shares... 200,000 shares...

The whole process lasted nearly fifteen minutes. During these fifteen minutes, GME’s stock price was pumped up by thousands of retail investors from 480 US Dollars to an insane high of 550 US Dollars.

Finally, when the position count on the screen turned to a large ”0,” the algorithm stopped running automatically.

The study fell into a dead silence.
