I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 385 - 237: Program Bugged

During his days at the provincial office, Li Xiang found life quite comfortable. Unlike in Jinghai City, where he was busy solving cases every day, he finally had some leisure time to gradually develop Xiaomu.

After a busy period, Lin Feifei finally managed to get her studio up and running.

On his days off, he’d go take a look, and it was already taking shape.

Though small, it was fully equipped. Just the recording studio alone cost Lin Feifei two million.

Add in all the miscellaneous costs, Feitong Fanfan Studio had a total investment of around four million.

With a registered capital of five million, a million was left for operating costs and wages.

This money was almost all of Lin Feifei’s savings.

She went all-in on this venture.

Don’t be fooled by her previous hesitation, which made her seem timid.

Once she made up her mind, she truly demonstrated a "burning the boats" kind of courage.

In this aspect, Li Xiang admired her quite a lot.

"Do you have enough money? How about I give you the more than a hundred thousand for now? The home renovation can wait."

Li Xiang didn’t want to see her under so much pressure, so he decided to give her the more than a hundred thousand she had lent him back then to start her studio.

"No need, I have enough money for now. Don’t worry, if I don’t, I’ll tell you. You know, I’m glad I pulled the money out of the stock market, it has dropped quite a bit recently. As long as the Securities Regulatory Commission doesn’t cancel high-frequency trading, the stock market won’t recover."

"High-frequency trading? What’s high-frequency trading?"

"High-frequency trading uses computer models to buy low and sell high in the market, earning the spread. These price changes are extremely short-lived, totally beyond normal people’s ability to grasp, but computers can do it, hence high-frequency trading was born. Even if it earns just a penny in price difference per trade, given that computers can trade ten thousand shares a second, it’s like having a money-printing machine at home."

The speaker had no intention, but the listener took note.

Lin Feifei lamented the harm high-frequency trading brought to the stock market and was relieved she withdrew her funds to help Li Xiang renovate. Had she not decided to pull out just in time, she could have lost tens of thousands in just these few days.

But when Li Xiang heard this news, he immediately thought of Xiaomu.

Trading stocks as a police officer isn’t illegal, right?

If he still wanted to avoid suspicion, using Lin Feifei’s account to trade stocks should be fine, right?

All of a sudden, Li Xiang developed an interest in this way of making money.

As Lin Feifei mentioned, high-frequency trading seeks extremely short-lived price differences using models, which is the roughest model, earning only some spread.

But with Xiaomu’s intelligence, he could entirely develop an intelligent model, analyzing each stock’s data to determine which ones are being favored by capital. By following the trend and buying in, he could exit in advance when the capital retreats, given his small scale. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Once the idea formed, a seed was planted in his heart, quickly taking root and sprouting.

"Honey, honey, what are you thinking about? Why do you seem unresponsive when I’m talking to you?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing. By the way, can I take a look at your stock account?"

Li Xiang planned to first study how stocks worked by checking Feifei’s account.

"What are you planning to do? I’m telling you, don’t trade stocks. It’s a trap designed to cut leek."

Lin Feifei became alert the moment Li Xiang asked for her stock account. She couldn’t let Li Xiang get into trouble.

They’re already short of money, and if he fell into the stock market trap, it would be hard to climb out.

"I know, don’t worry. I just want to see how you lost money. Besides, if I want to play with stocks, I could open my own account. Why would I need yours?"

Lin Feifei thought about it for a moment and realized he was right. If Li Xiang wanted to invest in the stock market, he could just open his own account. So, she handed him hers.

After coming home, Li Xiang used his off-hours to study the stock market, the K-line trends of the stocks, turnover rates, and various parameters.

However, as he delved into the research, Li Xiang realized that looking at these data points was pointless.

The only way for a stock’s price to rise is capital inflow; outflow leads to a price drop.

Other parameters didn’t offer any reference value.

As long as he created a real-time model to monitor capital inflows and paired it with Xiaomu’s intelligent trading, he could completely capitalize on the market forces.

With this line of thought, he began modifying Xiaomu, adding in stock models, and opened a virtual account, starting simulated trading in the stock market.

On the first day, the million-dollar simulation account lost 10%.

Li Xiang immediately started diagnosing the issue; it turned out the model had loopholes. He promptly fixed them.

On the second day, the simulation account gained 2%.

In the following days, the profits and losses of the model were unstable. Li Xiang found that the issues lay in his parameter design.

But when it came to adjusting these parameters, solving the problem, there was someone more suited to the task than him.

That was Xiaomu.

Xiaomu utilized its own parameters to continuously adjust and record profit margins, finally identifying parameters with relatively high profitability and returns, completing the model tuning.

This achievement was thanks to Li Xiang’s gradual enhancement of Xiaomu’s learning ability.

"Let’s have Xiaomu use the simulated account in the stock market for a month and at the end of the month, we’ll see how well Xiaomu manages the account."
