Commodities Explained

Why commodity markets move explained by an overworked trading analyst 📈
Gossip & drama from the trading floor 🐒

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

(Most) News is noise

Plenty of accounts posting the latest “update” and/or “policies” that sound important but go nowhere

I focus on WHY & HOW markets move & behave. W some true drama from the trading floor

That’s why I don’t post much about
- “Straits reopening happening soon!”
- US-Iran deal or no deal
- Trump tweets

Real alpha is hidden BEHIND the headlines

@Jim_Adventures @boysbelnboys I’m no 3 & I take offence to this ���

Because it’s 100% true 😂

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

Just like in trading, when everyone “thinks” whoever has higher computing power & info wins

No matter how hard people try to “control” the trade, it’s uncontrollable

High noise-signal ratio makes you even more paranoid

Control the controllable. Embrace the uncontrollable

When you let the trade breathe, you’ll be surprised at what life shows you 💰

@TetraChad - “How did you do it”
- “But did you [insert nitpicked nonsense you “failed” to achieve]”
- *awkward silence to hide their seething envy*

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@notyetadegen I love these prompt answers before it tells me to just avoid

Real interested ladies won’t sprout such crap

Issue is that prolonged exposure to such negativity will infect you

Fine line

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

In trading, they say it’s lucky than to be right

- Attractive but aloof lady
- Had to constantly keep the convo going
- “I never want to see this lady again”
- Sent me a photo of her painting the next day since we chatted abt art
- 🤷‍♂️?
- Most feminine lady I ever dated afterwards

@DaygameCharisma Uneven distribution in life strikes again

When it’s good it’s good, when it’s bad it’s bad

Just focus on the top % of ladies

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@DaygameCharisma Diamonds are like the (latest) iPhones

Both are flexes for those who ain’t rich but want to appear so

AVOID overpaying. Much better value purchasing precious metals (gold/silver ring)

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

That’s what I want to tell my traders, but it’s not a hill worth dying on yet 😂

If their customers demand a view, it’s hard to lead w “nobody knows”

So it’s good biz sense to crap out smth, until everyone realised that it’s unpredictable

Glad I’m not the only one who thinks this way

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@LifeMathMoney Because there’s so many 🐳, men have gone in the other direction to go for overly muscular gym girls or sticks

A healthy level of fat IS feminine. It’s essentially for that feminine glow, sway, & softness

Look at ladies in past decades (pre 1990s). That’s the ideal look

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@abigbluebird No wonder all my “mutual” recommendations have been garbage vs what I was sold

Middleman/lady upsells them as though they are the last BTC

Then when it doesn’t progress, I get blamed. toxik

In trading terms, FOB > Delivered

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@thebeautyofsaas Asymmetry > Linear

In trading, most $ is made on ASYMMETRIC trades

Not the paltry linear deals

Best article

& that’s saying smth given the Alpha written on the regular

Reminds me of what you wrote years back:

“To leave with some seemingly contradictory advice, we’d like to help you improve your chances with a simple sentence. “Stop Caring About the Results”.

When the average person reads that, they think this means sit around and be lazy doing nothing. No. It means you should shot gun as much as possible and let the chips fall.

Notice? The guy who needs money the least tends to attract even more money. The guy who doesn’t care about getting the girl at the bar? He usually get the girl. The guy who has a smile on his face after the 50th sales call that ends with a no? He usually ends up being the head of sales later on.

The single thread that connects all of these “coincidences” is not caring about the *result*. If you care about the end-result the end-result is unlikely to be positive. You end up focusing on things that don’t matter which drain valuable amounts of time from your pool of energy.

Simply stop caring about the result. Iterate. Repeat. Iterate. Repeat. The habits you build will drive the results over the long-term.
And? Once you see something works, step on the gas.”

@abigbluebird Hyrox is terrible for one’s physique aesthetically

The exercises develops one into a bulky rectangle

Ofc it’s better than no exercise. But long-term? You become a fridge

Don’t see Hyrox “athletes” looking anything like these Greek physiques

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@abigbluebird More developed = Ruder people

Why? Because the SAME laws that protect you allow legal animal-behaviour

Try that in Thailand & you’ll get elbowed / shot / both

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@LifeMathMoney Even the only begotten Son of God suffered this

Didn’t realise how bad it was until I started living for myself

Esp w the massive improvements

Strange to be welcomed by strangers overseas & on X at first but it makes sense now

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@haste111 Explains why I keep drawing links between dating & commodities trading

It’s due to my high IQ, not my autism!🤓

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@nicholashojx Good insight - trying it out for yourself vs the industry’s “solutions”

Totally behind natural toothpaste. The lather’s not as good (as it’s organic) but my teeth have been great during dental checks

Now I’m pumped to get some A2 milk

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@LifeMathMoney Tons of insecure 🐍 in the grass

Do better than them? You trigger their wrath
Do worse than them? They rub it in

Nth but headache.

“How are you doing?”
My fav trick is to tell them my eclectic interests I’m pursuing. Watch their confused faces & comparison qns drop off.

[Commodities Explained @CmdtyExplained]

@abigbluebird @B4n4L1ty Uni is a clean slate fr

Bottom 10% but put in the work. Top 10% after freshman year

The confusion & insecure energy from those scholars was priceless

“Who is CommoditiesExplained? He’s in this class?” 🤯😠

But shunned the BB route so getting overworked on the trade floor 😂
