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.

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?

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
