A LITTLE CAUTIONARY TALE For a moment while on 013 and 014 I had the luxury of beating myself up over whether or not to trade profit target or simply to let Winners run and this one is particularly important because I had been on a losing streak up until that point and this Thinking puts me up against a predominant trading philosophy by my self acclaimed trading mentor. But as i have found out or rather as I am finding out, trading is first a personal journey but also very importantly trading is a probability base game and in a probability base game such as this for the numbers to simply "just work" for you, you have to project them forward over a series of trade rather than just counting on the next big win that override your losses. PROFIT TARGET OR NO PROFIT TARGET, I THINK WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IS HAVING A PLAN AND FOLLOWING IT TOOTH AND NAIL.

🗼 UAE exits OPEC to boost output as war disrupts oil markets The UAE will leave OPEC on May 1, ending its participation in the group that coordinates oil supply. The country produces about 3% to 4% of global oil. The decision removes production limits set by the cartel. Current quotas capped output around 3.2M barrels per day, with room to increase significantly without restrictions. Officials say the timing is linked to the Strait of Hormuz disruption, which limits immediate market impact. The move gives the UAE full control over production as pressure builds on OPEC unity.

📱 Snap cuts 1,000 jobs as AI replaces routine work Snap will lay off about 1,000 employees, around 16% of staff, and close more than 300 open roles.

Snap expects more than $500M in annual cost savings by the second half of 2026. The cuts come as Snap continues investing in products like its AR glasses, which have already cost over $3.5B and remain under scrutiny.
