which youtube "traders" are legit?

It's gonna be tough to find. Channels that are being recommend by youtube search algorithm are those with most watch time. Most people on youtube love channels like kevin and that graham guy have. Stupid thumbnails with their mouth open and rambling about nothing for 12min.

So normal "boring" channels hardly ever come up in search results.
I 've been looking for one for years , still haven't found it.
ET offers more info then all the youtube channels combined.

Yes, but here on ET one needs to use one's brain and think whilst learning; rather than being spoon-fed on YT.

It's slightly ironic that the OP is asking a community encompassing some real experts for sources of expertise from a community of entertainers!
 
What ET offers doesn't offer any youtube channel. When you post a question in YT comment sections you will be responded by scammers and creators usually don't answer especially the bigger channels.

When you post question on ET you gonna have people responding who have some history and reputation here many with 5000 posts and more.

I get some basic news about economy from financial websites like WSJ, bloomberg and the rest can be found on ET and in the books. I am still very new to this financial world but I could leave without youtube fin. channels.

I really doubt there is even 1 successful trader on ET who gained their knowledge from a youtube trader.

There is no hidden treasure out there.

anyway, after you have learned (from youtube, books, or whatever),
you have to decontaminate your mind.
Then develop your own trading strategy.

One of the hardest things about forming a personal strategy to be honest. Having to use a somewhat shotgun approach to learning and take as much in as you can and then cut through the noise for what works for you and then focus on that.

Look up the channel of the guy who runs the RealDayTrading forum on reddit. He's legit, but I suspect he's only good in a bull market.
 
I 110% believe: any fucker making youtube videos claiming to make a fortune without 1099 tax return proof is a total bullshitter. not broker statements (bc they can have mirror long/short accounts and just selectively show long-account statements; an old boiler room trick)... 1099s/tax return proof is essential.

He and how many others?

Incredible fortunes have been made over the last 10 years by long only traders, but I imagine some of them might be giving back a lot (and some will give back all) during this downturn as what's always worked is no longer working.

Most new investors/traders never experienced a bear market or a prolonged crisis and literally don't even believe it can ever happen. Their whole market understanding is based on BTFD and daddy coming to your rescue on even the smallest drawdown.

Yeah this guy in particular, it boggles my mind how he is just staying long and decimating his test portfolio over and over.

Edit: but his hedging is VERY good and worth listening to.

All of them are losers.

The only way one can learn trading is to trade market.
