“Did you know...that most commodities traders lose money? About only 1/3 make money.”

Is that true for commodity traders in the oil futures too? Or are they being averaged?

All commodity traders, means all.

I'd even stand on a limb...and tell you it's worse in "energy commodities". But, I couldn't prove that. Just anecdotal stuff.

I think the University of Illinois did a study a few years ago...and various private entities have done them.

FWIW-
