What are some youtube channels you guys have come across/or use that actually provide valuable information and are not trying to sell you a methodology?
Here's one you don't see recommended often, who shows some real chart "artistry" in my book (but also constantly reinforces strict risk management and patience for newbies):
Timothy Morge:
https://www.youtube.com/user/MarketGeometryVideos/videos - A vast majority of his webinars (2008-2014) hosted at Interactive Brokers are also worth one's time, from which I gained perspective that trade management and psychology (for discretionary traders) might be more important than nailing great entries. I like his "where are the positions now?" attitude as bars develop, almost feels like lessons in poker. It's also entertaining to get the occasional anecdote of when he throws some tens of billions at a (Forex) market to "slap it around" and shake weak hands out. He does sell a membership thing, but barely mentions it in passing, and there's nothing "special" hidden there, it's just a way to offer more of his time.
Adam Grimes was mentioned earlier, although he doesn't have much on YouTube his free content stands on its own. He does sell research, but his education is much more than mere bait. He also does have (free) webinars at I.B. but they seem to mostly cover what one would learn from his book.
One which I enjoyed for the entertainment and reinforcement of patience, simple horizontal vision and risk management for newbies is
Jason Stapleton, specifically his live trade videos. Forget the click-bait title (which is the only reason I checked it out, I admit it!) it's actually fun to watch:
first,
second. He
does up-sell memberships, but I personally found value in his handful of live videos like those two, if nothing else as reminders that the #1 tool to master is one's own mind. He likes Fib ratios which I can tolerate, and usually has nothing else on his charts, focusing on re-testing recent levels. Sometimes he throws in a "Gartley pattern" which I don't care for, but that's it, not even moving averages.
