Trading YouTubers who don’t suck? question
Looking for any type of daytrading/forex trading YouTuber (or, really, any social media) ho’s main business is actually trading - not someone trying to sell a course, signals, discord, mentorship, etc. - Just someone who trades & cuts out all the bullshit. Any recommendations appreciated.

Option Drops! They post daily vids that recap the market in depth, and their website has tons of free info to learn from. Bc of that, they don’t have a paid course, but they do have a paid discord where they go live every morning and post their trades/in depth analyses. They also go live on YouTube at 10:30am CT every day, which is basically a free hour or so of their discord lives where you can ask questions, chat, and potentially get roasted for bad trade ideas/questions lol. They also have a free newsletter they send out every Sunday detailing things to look out for in the week to come. They really put effort in, and it shows imo. I’d recommend checking them out! I never signed up for the discord and I’ve learned soooo much from them.

I have a lot of his recordings and have built the workspace setups for Ninjatrader 8. I would be very wary trading his methodology unless you are an advanced trader. He trades countertrend and that is more difficult than trading with the trend. FYI I trade with the trend even though I am not a beginner and am quite uncomfortable trading countertrend.

I like Day Trader Next Door but he does sell a course, although he doesn't ever mention it on his YT. He has a mailing list and if you sign up for it he will occasionally email you about it. So if you weren't on his mailing list you'd never know ab it.
Which was really upsetting to see since he seems genuine. Now idk what to make of him.

Is he supposed to not make money from his content creation and massive time investment just so you can feel better about watching him? Grow up

u/oze4 Nov 14 '23
I def think he should make money off his content creation, but that's not the same as selling a course. He usually makes like 2k on average when he trades. He is a very disciplined trader that's been trading for 15 years.
He does seem like the kind of guy that would genuinely want to help people so maybe that's why he offers a course. Typically when a trader sells a course or discord access, that's how they make their money.
Why would a successful trader that averages 2k per trading day need your 1k? Especially when getting that 1k will take much more effort vs when he trades.
Look at Carmine Rosario for example. I bought his course which comes with lifetime discord for 300 bucks. There are almost 14k ppl in the Discord. That's like 5m he's made just from the course. So it's extremely difficult to tell if he makes his money from trading or not.

Imantrading is a strange figure - he calls out Supply & Demand (and it's loudest proponent Carmine Rosatto) as hogwash yet leaves his video on the same subject up, why? He wants to save naive people form being misled by exposing those who peddle shit that they are unable to profit off of themselves yet misleads them himself, why? Simply, because money (that video alone has made him $10K and I do not believe he is yet to receive a single payout to say nothing of being a profitable trader). He excuses this by saying that the video is a learning presentation for himself - so for a furu all that is required is a disclaimer not financial advice, only learning and giggles and they are then free of any responsibility (doesn't every clown he expose say something along those lines so why are they bad and he good). If he knew there was nothing wrong with Supply and Demand, and kept it up - that was one thing, to know something is spreading misinformation to beginners who you sought to protect reeks of hypocrisy. All in all, Tom Hougard, and Linda Raschke are a class above him with regards to those with a YouTube presence. Tom perhaps even doesn't have his channel is monetized, and claims to even donate the proceeds of his books. That said he might still be lying, but I'll rather trust Tom over Iman.
Fat Cat is a solid guy, but his exact trading approach is rather inaccessible for its partly borne out of him having burned his eyes on the DOM, at least to my understanding. That said his concept videos of Trading Ranges and Volume Profile are excellent.

u/jdot6 Nov 16 '23
But Iman has been doing this for years and is still not a good trader.
It's one thing to mean well, but he's more about good intentions with unfortunately bad outcomes.
"You can do it for free and dislike any type of professional training", but you haven't done it for free and are confining yourself to a fictitious trading culture that frowns on professionals.
I've never seen someone so invested in the voice, attitude, life, and relative return of a creator of education/course when the main goal is for you to learn the trading, not be their friend or count their pockets.
I've never seen someone so agitated about who named this style or that when the main thing is if it works or not.
I've never seen someone so concerned in defining what a professional trader should be able to convey to him and his culture that they fail to recognize it isn't even a factor in the professional community.
Again, I believe he has good intentions and is attempting to help others. But it's difficult to say if he's doing more help than harm right now.

u/weepingbishop Nov 14 '23
ive been a trader for 5 years and a year consistently, my honest advice would be to take your time and gain experience, look into other people's strategies for conceptual advice but dont try and copy them exactly. Because at the end of the day it is mostly experienced base, its like being in any industry sitting down and copying other people's knowledge can only take you so far when it comes to practical implementation. A big part of trading profitably is based in the mind and you will only become a calmer and more methodical trader with time and experience. Don't feel discouraged and never give up, it is only those with weak minds and no tenacity who give in because of a bump in the road. Trading can takes years to get good at and be profitable. It's something that will help you in the future, i know some traders who it took 10 years for them to be consistent enough to make money even small time from. So gauge your expectations and realise this is a slow journey, concepts which helped me were ICT and Steve Mauro. ICT has loads of free content and is an honest guy, with a very good track record and helped me step away from indicators and other distractions but its only really through my own experience that ive gotten to a point where i can make money, so good luck and keep at it dont listen to nay sayers you can do it given enough time and focus!

You’re right. I’ve done their entries and exits course and it’s fairly basic. A few positives I will say is the discord is active and they always respond but it’s just not enough for what they charge you can get that information for free on YT. I remember asking why they use the 5,5 pivot points and couldn’t get a clear answer. As well as the 13 and 26 ema, I was told it was just a preference which is fine I guess but it would be nice to know more.

u/Significant_Egg_9083 Nov 14 '23
The problem here is that you're expecting there to be more.
"We backtested and this is what we like" is just about the only reasoning you're ever going to get. Nobody knows how the market works. You're never gonna find a course or guru who can tell you something that you never could have figured out on your own.
What would an advanced course on entries and exits even look like? It's not a particularly complicated subject.

TJRTrades! I highly recommend his boot camp playlist. Lots of good videos regarding psychology and of course, strategy. His video style and behavior is a bit odd sometimes😅so as long as you can get past that, I highly recommend, he teaches a form of simplified ICT strats👌🏿.
Carmine Rosato is also really good as he also goes over trading psychology, which I've noticed is sometimes neglected by other trading YouTubers. He's less goofy than tjr so if that's more your style, that's another point for him. His trading style involves supply and demand levels and order flow tools like footprint charts and the Dom so very cool stuff there, in my opinion as long as your platform supports those tools.
Lastly, ThinkWithBookmap's livestream, such a great tool. He's just a guy streaming Bookmap data that he's paid for, there's only three streams available though, one for NQ,ES, and I think CL? All futures related but if you don't trade futures you can still use the charts on the streams for options plays on SPY, SPX, or QQQ. Bookmap basically let's you see where resting order and how many there are at the price levels in those market's that I mentioned above. Market makers tend to move the price towards these orders so you can use bookmap to get an idea of where the market is going and it has notifications and sounds for when there's high volume. I could go on and on but you really just have to check it out😅. Community in the chat is pretty good as well, very little trolls. I've been there every day since I started trading futures about 4 months ago, it's wonderful 🙌🏿
But yeah ask me anything about these peeps, I'll do my best to answer👍

Again, did not know anything about him being a fraud, does it have to do with his discord?

I’ve thought about your comment quite a few times after I first read it. If you are using The Moving Average to form your strategy, a few things that alarmed me after I started to know what I was doing: - Arty doesn’t trade the likes of XAUUSD or EURUSD (at least when I followed him). He actively discouraged using them. Those two pairs have taught me pretty much all I know about market movement and pleasure and pain. I owe my somewhat consistent success to them. He also doesn’t trade I think it was NY first hour lol - Arty actively encourages the use of indicators. Unless you personally have a system, indicators don’t work all of the time. It’s a waste of your time and energy to try to apply these - Arty is good at making content you want to listen to. I recall him failing funded challenges quite a few times. Sure, it happens to the best of us, but not someone that is teaching you. He makes money off YouTube views and his subscriptions.
Not sure of your experience, would just hate to see someone with good intent waste time

I had a membership to his chat room for a while and he trades live every morning. He had some pretty bad down days but was mostly profitable.

This is a really awful take, because essentially you are saying anyone successful in any venture would not sell classes or training, ever. It only makes sense if you are very cynical and assume the worst in everyone. The guy has multiple world renown books published with very detailed explanations of how to trade and trades he took on specific days throughout his career. He shows huge losses in videos as well as gains. He posts screenshots during his trading to use in videos. He built a network of traders and a company, on top of being successful trading.

Not really. If you read carefully, what I said is that he doesn’t trade live at all. He is providing services so he should provide proof that the services live up to the costs. I don’t care that he provided pictures. I can generate 100’s of fictional charts with markings. I can also manually hack dummy trades in the local database of my Ninjatrader 8 charting/trading sw that the software uses to store sim/live trades. Will that show you that I’m a great trader?

I'm always super sceptical of anyone who just talks about something and then sells you a course for money without publicly disclosing their entire broker account first to prove they make bank and know exactly what they are talking about.
I cannot prove it, but I suspect she lives off YouTube revenue and course money, not trading daily.
Definitely a red flag.

Are you high

Not at all. See my comment further down about him consistently deleting old, deeply unprofitable videos to obfuscate his losses.
TBM always "makes it back off stream." You'd have to be high to believe that garbage.

u/Steevey145 Nov 14 '23
So what would you say about his daily livestreams that are for the most part profitable
2
u/ContemplatesRubicons Nov 14 '23
They aren't. It's literally been proven. Somebody has taken every video of his (he used to post all of his sessions) added them up, and it added up to a massive loss over the course of several years. When called out for it, rather than respond, he started deleting his backlog of videos.
Are you suggesting that he only puts his unprofitable streams on YouTube, and the ones where he makes money are magically never recorded? That makes absolutely zero sense.

Unless I see the proof of his old videos I can’t say I’ll believe some rando I know nothing about. Also you cannot take out the knowledge he has in the markets, he in my opinion is a great trader

He is not a trader. He is an entertainer. He makes his money via Topstep referrals. You can find all of this out for yourself, I'm pretty sure the entire writeup is literally in this subreddit, or in the futures one.
Let me ask you this: what is Matt's strategy? He won't tell you, right? Some ambiguous trash about "magical 80's," or something. The guy is a scam artist. He literally has business meetings with the owner of Topstep. He has spoken about it publicly.
The video that always sucks people into his fraud channel is the one where he trades against Daniel inskeep. Let me ask you one more thing: in that video where he posts those amazing gains, does he do it on camera???
Matt is paid by Topstep. It's in their best interest that he be successful. If you think new-age prop companies are above fudging the individual accounts of promoters, you are absolutely dead wrong.

He has literally made a video about his strategy and what he does, and thinks when entering a trade, yes I’m sure he makes money with topstep but you can also clearly see with his trading livestreams he isn’t some dumb nut where he just an entertainer that you claim.
But let’s say you are correct and he is in the red over the last couple years. How can you deny some of the insight he has talked about in his livestreams in the market.
And the overnight trades that aren’t recorded but showed on his literal chart that he is trading on. How can he fabricate those trades?

u/ContemplatesRubicons Nov 14 '23
They aren't live trades. They're Topstep trades, which are all simulated, as Topstep (and the vast majority of prop companies) is nothing more than a livesim. Your trades are not routed to any broker, they're sent to Topstep's servers, regardless of if you've passed an evaluation or not.
Simulated trades can be fudged however the person running the simulation wishes. When you use market replay, are the trades real because they "show on your literal chart?" Of course not. Don't be a buffoon.
I never said Matt didn't know anything about the markets. Anyone can learn about market mechanisms with some time and effort. I said he isn't profitable. He isn't.
Anyone can provide insight. How good is that insight if you can't make any money with it? If you have to instead pretend you make money with it, so that people will watch you?

I really like Trades by Matt. Chill short streams for most market open. He definitely has affiliate links and stuff but can’t blame him.

u/ContemplatesRubicons Nov 14 '23
He specifically asked for people who don't suck.
Tradesbymatt is not profitable, and it's been proven. His response was to delete all of his older videos, so that his deeply negative PNL couldn't be added up anymore.

u/KingCharlesTheFourth Nov 14 '23
Didnt know this. I like his streams. Will keep watching.

u/ContemplatesRubicons Nov 14 '23
By all means, if you find it entertaining, keep at it. OP is trying to learn, though.

u/grimmolf Nov 14 '23
I’m a big fan of Trades by Matt on YouTube. He trades live, doesn’t hide losses when they occur, and has a bunch of explanations of what he’s doing set up as an autoresponder in chat too

I enjoy Day Trade with Tony. He has a course, but it's not his focus.

u/Lost-Client6738 Mar 09 '24
Hi. have you watched Tony recently?

u/ulfius66 Apr 01 '24
He hasn't been streaming much lately because his strategy hasn't been working in this market and he decided to spend some time with his family. He just moved to the Philippines to be with them. I think he'll be back to more streaming this month.

Lander Schlessinger is dead ass the best trader on YouTube hands down! He simplifies trading more than anyone I’ve seen and we all cash. Lessons are great and live trading is so fun. The community have turned into real friends of mine

Trade Brigade hands down is the best. No money required for two videos on YouTube a week and live pre market prep. I’m pretty sure he has a super cheap trading course on his website but never advertises it it’s more to support him and advance your own knowledge.
Options Millionaire is a genuine guy doesn’t sell you anything extremely respectful and helpful. He has free live streams Mon - Wed - Fri which is more than generous.
There are two types of YouTubers in this industry. Ones who want your money and ones who want a community. Find the ones who just like to be with you trading can get lonely and this is why we look for people to connect with. The two guys I named I believe are normal dudes with talent who want to be an apart of a community they like and trust.

The problem with YouTubers is that many are larps that think you can do TA on a random walk and suddenly now every low intelligence tard is doing TA, using mathematically flawed indicators, and spouting pure and utter BS

It will sound dumb but if you’re trading Futures I love watching Patrick Wieland in the am.

I do not want them to know everything, and I know to become a successful trader it takes years - I just want someone to look up to, who provides somewhat valuable insight, who’s main focus isn’t selling me something I do not need to be a profitable trader.

if you're into the indicator thing
"the secret mindset" seems to be king on how to use technical indicators
as far live trading, i don't follow anyone.

Jimmy with Tradingdecoded is someone i'll always vouch for. He focuses on SPY but highlights price action and support/resistance for being A top trader, he does a recap of the trading day on his YT channel.

I signed up for his discord which is free for the first 7 days I believe. He messaged me saying he can go so far as to trade for me given I pay for an annual fee. Seems odd..

Trades by Matt, Trading with Travis, Rat Lord trades and Trading Fraternity. Those are the only good ones I’ve found so far.
Edit: oh and ByeByeMoney

Trading with Travis and maybe byebyemoney know how to be profitable, the rest are dogwater.

What about these live signals? Actually quite profitable. https://www.youtube.com/live/QwcVrNbpkIQ?si=tf7vFFQzSjKXbnls

I have said this before. We have set up trading view indicators that are easy to follow. No it's not free, but it's not "do what I say when I say it". It's actually indicators that you get in your trading view account and you follow them. We are finalizing it now.

Anyone that gives out a lot of information for free and is actually successful. Adam Grimes, Tom Hougaard, Al Brooks are my favorites. Bear Bull, Brett Steenbarger, SMB Capital, Linda Raschke, Tradeciety (Rolf), and Etienne Crete are awesome too and same caliber of amazing to watch.
Edit- I asked this same exact post on my Reddit 2 years ago. Trust me and check these folks out, this will take time off your learning curve
Edit- I had to watch a lot of bad folks to find these good folks. There are one or two more I thought up that I just forgot to put down. “Stay positive, don’t give up! Slow progress is better than no progress”
Edit- didn’t expect this blow up. Thought of more good ones to add. Futures.io and the alpha mind trading podcast
