🧠 Why most traders quit
CME floor trader Lewis Borsellino explains why trading is different from any normal job.
You can work all week, do everything right, and still get paid nothing. That pressure is what most people can’t handle.
It’s not about being smart. It’s about handling losses and still showing up.

⚡️Energy markets break apart as global prices diverge
US crude is now trading at a $20+ discount to Brent, one of the widest gaps on record, while physical oil in Oman is priced above $150 per barrel.
At the same time, European natural gas jumped another +30% in a day, pushing the region deeper into an energy squeeze as the US ramps up production and taps reserves.
❗️ US vs Oman oil spread near $70 per barrel
❗️ European gas surging sharply again
❗️ Market now pricing 2 rate hikes in 2026 for Europe
❗️ US rate cuts largely priced out as Core PPI hits highest since Feb 2023
Energy is pulling macro in opposite directions across regions, and policy expectations are shifting fast.
That kind of divergence usually doesn’t stay quiet for long.

😮💨 The Economist: Trump’s Iran conflict is backfiring
The Economist released a new cover story titled “Operation Blind Fury”, arguing that Trump’s military move against Iran is weakening his position.
The longer the conflict drags on, the more it erodes his key political advantages and puts additional pressure on the White House.
War is starting to cost more politically than it gains.

The traders who survive long enough to become consistently profitable all share one trait.
Not a better system.
Not a better mentor.
They stopped caring about being right.
And started caring about being consistent.
