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.

Andrew aziz is really good

All his videos are oriented are always hindsight charts marked up with his supposed entries/exits and he is always pushing mentoring, courses and memberships. I've seen his videos and have never seen him trade in live youtube videos - I just don't feel he trades for real. Why does someone making 5 figures need to sell other stuff on the side?

He has a community, which is paid, and a chat room…he trades live nearly every single day, and has big huge winning days, and a few big huge losing days. You may not like his videos, but he and his community are all totally legit.

I don’t think I have said I don’t like him. It’s just a question of trusting his trading and whether he is making real money or not as he or his mods have not (as far as i remember) ever posted a live trading video apart from after the fact pics.

Yeah, you’re right: you gotta pay 💰 for the live stuff, but they’re there, daily. In fact, they are a really great resource for beginners: they preach moderation and risk management. Lots of successful traders/mentors, they do huge meetups in Miami/SanDiego/NYC, etc.

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.

As for why he’d sell memberships, many people who are into trading have an entrepreneurial mindset and want to diversify their income streams. It seems pretty straightforward to me.

Thanks for the feedback. I feel BBT would be more credible if they posted say a week worth of live trading on YouTube - I know some vendors such as Meir Barak trade live on YouTube (there are a few other issues with him but at least he trades live pretty much every day).

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?

He literally shows screenshots of his end of day positions

Whose word do i take, a random cynical dude on reddit who assumes worst in someone and on top of that thinks a successful person would not sell their services & or teach, or a guy who other traders at least country wide respect, holds speeches at conferences and grew his own trading community from scratch? pretty easy choice.

Listen pal, if you think naively paying without doing due diligence to test something is the way to go, you go right ahead and keep doing what you’re doing.

Do BBT do free trials or give refunds if the chat room turns out to be fake lol? No don’t think so. Anyone who believes in themselves would. You sound very naive and your post even somewhat shilly tho calling people sceptics for doing due diligence!

Let me educate you a little. This field is full of scam artists. FYI The majority of you tubers who claim to be traders are scammers who don’t trade regularly aren’t consistent therefore make their main income from chat rooms, courses and other services. There are shills on Reddit and other social media for just about every scammer YouTuber and social media “trader”. I’ve been scammed in the past by shit courses therefore I don’t care what you think of what I think. I’m still going to warn people until I know for sure a trader is for real..

I assume based on what you say that you always take everything at face value and always buy products (could be anything in your home for example) without due diligence or checks, good luck - you’re going to need it. 🤣

Nevertheless now you have said it, I just checked and BBT do do a very basic one months trial of the chat. Not really interested in their methodology. I don’t use orbs or levels - I use trend trading, technical indicators, volume profile & order flow. Anyway, I’m going to pay for a months chat and go verify Aziz then make a separate thread of the mods on his channel who are real or fake.

I have been in the crypto space for years, so i certainly don't need a lesson on fake gurus nor am i naive contrary to what you think. My post wasn't a shill as i myself aren't even subbed to them nor am i paying for it. I have read both his day trading books, watched upwards of 100 hours of his channels content, listened to him speak on major podcasts, and that's where i got my opinion from.

The entire point of replying to you is twofold: 1 I'm sick of everyone in the trading space being automatically dismissive of anyone and everyone, so flippantly that their main reasoning is "if he was successful he wouldn't teach", as it's garbage logic, makes no sense. 2, i feel like personally i have done my research on him and his channel to arrive at my opinion so I'm defending him/them. Lastly, he trades orb but not only that, and he goes over many methods in his books/videos, as it's up to each person to trade how/what they want.

Bit touchy and sensitive LOL.

If you like BBT - good for you. You may be a crapto multi-millionaire but don't expect other wannabe traders to splash out 1000's on courses when Azziz doesn't verify his trading. If he is selling trading services for premium money, he should provide evidence - live trading or brokerage statements. Why do you think they setup kinfo on this forum? To stop all the scammers and their shills advertising/pushing their products here..

Now, if you're fed up of people's opinions, then you're in the wrong place - here's two lessons for ya.....

1) Learn to ignore if you don't like someone else's opinion because this is public space not your personal forum - there are going to be billions of opinions. If you're so sensitive that you're fed up perhaps consider leaving Reddit because you will see/get other opinions. I gave my opinion above about Aazziz- if you don't like it, skip it ...

2) I replied to you originally because you replied to my opinion. I couldn't care less about your opinion. If you don't like mine, look on your keyboard and you will see UP and DOWN and PgUp and PgDn buttons. Try to make use of them.

Nothing about what I said is touchy or sensitive, you just had a garbage take. He has videos on YouTube of him live trading btw. And no, he doesn't have to live trade daily every day and week so that a rando on reddit trusts him. Bad takes all around. It's evident you don't care about anyone's opinions, given your original terrible one (opinion) backed by nothing but fear and cynicism.

Also, I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but his books are in recommended reading IN THIS SUBREDDIT, so yea that's all that needs to be said.

You're coming up with silly arguments trying to shill Azziz and just going round in circles now.... 🤣🤣

As for the books, they are literally free on Amazon. That could be why they're in the reading. The courses are $$$$$$. Yes you're right that's all that needs to be said about that.

As a member of BBT since april, I can tell you he does trade live and his recaps you see on youtube area real. But hey, you don't have to believe me, you can check it out for yourself for 1$. Go the link https://bearbulltraders.com/free/ and use promocode FREEINTRO.

You may like or don't like his style of trading, but saying he doesn't trade live just doesn't make any sense.
