Quote from filter_sweep:

There are several, but austinp and kiwi_trader come to mind first.

Austin posts free videos on his website and occasionally writes for tradingmarkets. Because of ET's rules against unpaid advertising/spam, I cannot say what his website is, because he does sell stuff, but his videos are always of interest.

Quote from hermitage:

I'm relatively new to this site and read a post on ET earlier tonight that got me thinking:
Who are the members on ET that you consistently find yourself impressed by? Maybe you measure this simply by the number of positively viewed posts or by their status as big time traders. I don't know. I'm basically asking who on this board is worth taking seriously?

That Wayne Gibbous is damn smart and good looking, but he probably only comes in at number 12 or 13 for trading...

My vote goes to nutmeg.

LMAO ... Buy1Sell2 is a traders' trader, though very few can trade like him, volente_00 is a layman's trader, a smart guy and he shares what knowledge he has and what works for him.

Quote from Drew07:

For me, Anekdoten and holy grail have been particularly generous with their knowledge and have helped me as a trader.

+1. Pab(s)t too.

Just a note ... if you try to follow all of these guys, you won't be able to learn from any of them ... stick with one and see how far he can take you ... trading is all about formatting your mind to perceive a certain reality in the markets.

The swing traders (Pabst, B1S2) don't see what the scalpers (vol_00, VST_Scalper - oh yeah, didn't mention him, did we) see, and the reality of the intra-day position players (anekedoten, austinp) isn't one that they focus on.

Just a heads' up.

Several weeks ago I asked a similar question. After intense research and countless hours I have to say you can't go wrong reading the "serious" posts of the following users.

These are the ones that truly helped my trading.

(In alphabetical order)

Anekdoten
Buy1Sell2
DbPhoenix
Dustin
StealthTrader

And I take this post as an opportunity to thank them accordingly.

Wouldn't it be funny if all of these people who we think of as being knowledgable and wise about trading were complete hacks and couldn't trade their way out of a wet paper bag. I demand to see some brokerage statements before I go on name-dropping and praising others around here...who's with me?

 

[kiwi_trader]

I wouldn't vote for myself (thanks for that though). I'm more the happy satisfied trader but I haven't said much about what I do here.

Lots of good names mentioned who clearly know there stuff (you can tell after a bit). Much of their stuff is just the wisdom you can see in their comments so if you're looking for actionable material you need to go deeper.

For usable info you need to follow someone like Anekdoten who had a good thread here. dbPhoenix's stuff is good although he did a lot more at trade2win where you can also find some good educational stuff by trader_dante and also captain_currency.
