Hello PPC,My guess is that many YouTube trading influencers have egos that love attention, admiration, importance, etc.
Deep down they’re probably not happy with their own lives or their own trading performances.
What always makes me laugh is how people promote the dollar amounts (eg. “turned $9,100 into over $80,000,000”), while in the real world (most) traders track their performance in R/R units, expectancies, etc, knowing that percentage size of their returns (and drawdowns) is a function of position sizing (and the frequency of trade opportunities).
One rare example of genuine trader who tells you how it really is in the real world is:
Whoever this guy is in the video is a Scammer and Liar.
How I know he a scammer and liar, because he talk for 23 minutes and never showed a track record to prove his trading theories.
All trading theories is lies if not track record to prove the trading theory is the Truth.
Another youtube scammer.
