Trading is brutal because there’s nowhere to hide.

Trading is brutal because there’s nowhere to hide. If you fail, it’s on you. If you succeed, it’s on you. In most areas of life, there’s always someone or something else you can point to. Your strategy failed? You chose it. You overleveraged? You chose it. You revenge traded? You chose it. You blew the account? You did it. In a normal job, you can blame your boss. In business, you can blame your team. In life, you can blame circumstances. Trading strips all of that away. Your P&L is a mirror. ✅@futures

    Before the 2000 dot-com crash, the S&P 500 jumped 12%, returning to previous highs. Investors who bet heavily on the internet’s future were right in the long term, but lost 50% of their capital over the next two years. Three separate 20% bear-market rallies kept bulls in the market until they went bankrupt. The bottom came in 2002, after all participants had been wiped out, and it took about 14 years to return to breakeven. ✅@futures

    Today’s focus is the Fed’s rate decision, which will determine whether markets move higher toward the midterms (spoiler: they will). JPMorgan says holding rates is bearish, while a 0.25% hike is bullish, somehow confusing everyone. ✅@futures
