@franciscocz8384
January 30, 2024 at 3:38 pm
He didn't lose, I'm more than sure that americans are "targeting" chinese traders.
The chinese have realized about this and they are opening trades on the opposite direction of what they think the market is going to do.
Meanwhile they accumulated greater positions on the direction they think the price is gonna move on third parties overseas account.
Who is going to short the nickel, wheat, oil, paladium… after the invasion of Ukraine? It's totally unrealistic.
Even if he shorted it before the invasion, he is experienced enough to close that short after the invasion.
@franciscocz8384
