Useful. Trader Tom is a crack. Anyone who shows their live accounts, faces trolls and helps novices deserves a medal. The world of retail trading is very closed, and TT brings some positive light. Also, the guy likes it.

I'm just looking for channels with well-explained strategies, that I can test and check if they really work... I recommend the channel �Forex Club House�. It works in several pairs, calculated on the last 5,000 candles. EAs programmer brutal... https://t.ly/AZjRM

Hello everyone, In my experience, the financial channels on YouTube are useless except for the basics. They are biased: they need views or they are pure covert promotion. There may be some gem, but they are the exception. I follow channels more focused on financial history, entertainment or general knowledge. None of those stories of �I turned $100 into $100K.� Some I follow: Economics Expanded Company Man Dan Pe�a (it�s very funny

Trader Tom is a special case. He really wants to teach. And he does it 100% free. If you really want to learn, he is an excellent choice. If you expect to get everything chewed up, maybe not. The founder of the Turtle Traders said they could post their signs on the cover of the Wall Street Journal and still most would lose. I recommend the first video of Tom.

Helpful. Trader Tom is a freak. Put your accounts on screen, deal with trolls and rookies... that has merit. Trading retail is a dark world and he puts it some clarity and reality. Besides, he is a very cool guy.

I've already put in a poll... now to see what the community thinks.

Hello everyone, My experience with financial channels on YouTube is that they don�t serve much more than the basics. Everyone has agenda: monetization or selling something. The few who are worth it don�t shout or promise miracles. I follow channels like: Economics Expanded Company Man Dan Pe�a Kevin O�Ready Ken McElroy Peter Schiff The Plain Bagel Yapss

Trader Tom is weird... in a good way. Teach because he wants to help, not for money. If you want to learn and work seriously, it�s ideal. If you�re just looking for shortcuts, better not bother. Like one of the Turtle Traders said: you can put your signals on the front page of the newspaper and people will still lose. Start with Tom�s first video, that�s where you�ll understand.

[Xesba01]

Trade Prime is pure smoke. Who swallows the �86% hit strategy� that doesn�t even reach the real 50%? Here I disassemble it: Inserted Video And here�s more proof that it doesn�t work: Inserted Video EAs Programmer Brutal... https://t.ly/AZjRM

Most YouTube trading channels are made by people who earn more from their visits than from their operations. Don�t be fooled. If someone really was lining up, I wouldn�t waste time editing videos with epic music. And yes, I know it sounds borderline, but you have to wake up. Cost-effective trading is done in silence, not with squeaky thumbnails.

[Xesba01]

Still, not everything is rubbish. Some channels teach very well explained basics for those who start. Not everyone has access to books in English or expensive courses. The important thing is to know how to filter and understand that what serves one may not serve everyone. We have to test.

[Xesba01]

One that I found interesting was SMB Capital. It�s not perfect, but its approach to trader psychology and risk control is quite mature. They don�t sell smoke. It�s all in English. But if you can do that, you�ll learn more than seeing a thousand TikTok gurus.

[Xesba01]

I've been following people like Rayner Teo or The Trading Channel for a while. They're not the panacea, but their videos are structured and don't make unreal promises. That's already a lot in an environment full of empty promises and magical returns.

[Xesba01]

Honestly, if the channel starts with �become a millionaire in 30 days,� closes the tab. That�s pure marketing to catch desperate. I�m not saying that everyone is scammers, but most play with the beginner�s illusion.

[Xesba01]

There are useful channels... but not strategies, but mental content. Videos of Mark Douglas, Brett Steenbarger, or even interviews of real traders. The problem is that everyone is looking for the miraculous strategy. No one wants to work the mindset, which is where the gold is.

[Xesba01]

YouTube serves as a starting point. But if you stay there, you will stagnate. Real knowledge requires deep study, backtesting and real experience. Do you want to be profitable or just entertain yourself with nice graphics? Decide.

[Xesba01]

I�m surprised to see how many �successful� traders make lives on YouTube every day. If you really earn so much, why are you streaming for eight hours? Either they have a lot of free time or they�re monetizing at the expense of illusions. There�s not much more.

[Xesba01]

One channel that I recommend a lot is �The Plain Bagel�. It is not pure trading, but it is logical finance. No emotions or exaggerations. Sometimes what we need is economic context and common sense. And that is scarce.

[Xesba01]

I personally created a blacklist of channels that sell �owner� courses, signals or indicators. All of those are off my radar. If it really worked, they wouldn�t be selling it for $97 with special discount �only today.�

[Xesba01]

Some technical trading channels have good weekly summaries. Not to copy, but to contrast ideas. Yes, never take an operation because you saw it on YouTube. That�s financial suicide.

[Xesba01]

If you�re new and don�t know where to start, look for channels that teach capital management and emotional control. That will save you more times than any setup. Whoever understands that from the start has half a way done.

[Xesba01]

Most trading youtubers don't even operate real accounts, they do backtests, simulations, and paper trading, but they sell like they're hedge funds, and the worst thing is that a lot of people fall, because they'd rather dream than work.

[Xesba01]

I used some channels at first, but I quickly understood that if you don't apply what you see and don't validate it yourself, it doesn't work.

[Xesba01]

If you have to choose between watching 10 videos or doing 1 hour of backtesting on your own, choose the second one. The first one fills your head. The second one gives you experience. YouTube can accompany you, but it cannot replace the work.

[Xesba01]

Useful channels? Depends on your maturity. If you are looking for the holy grail, you will be swindled. If you are learning with judgment, you can draw gold. The tool is not good or bad. What counts is how you use it.

[Xesba01]

There are youtubers who know what they do, but they adapt their strategies to YouTube to generate clicks. That distorts everything. The algorithm does not reward quality, rewards the show. Be clear.

[Xesba01]

One thing that did help me a lot was to see post-trade analyses of honest traders. They explain what they thought, what went wrong, what they learned. That�s worth more than any �setup winner.� Because that�s real.

[Xesba01]

If you get excited about every new channel you see, you go wrong. Overinformation is as dangerous as ignorance. Filter, select, apply. Not everything serves everyone.

[Xesba01]

Sometimes I wonder if many channels are not just excuses for not operating. Talking about trading is easier than actually trading. But well, everyone with their process.

[Xesba01]

If a channel doesn't show its equity curve, history, evolution... what do you expect? Blind confidence? It's one thing to protect privacy, another very different thing to hide lack of results.

[Xesba01]

My advice: don't get obsessed with YouTube. Use books, simulators, and if you can, talk to real traders who aren't selling anything to you. In this world, free is almost never without interest.

[Xesba01]

A good channel I discovered recently is �UKspreadbetting�. No shows. Just pure and sensible technical analysis. Sometimes the soberest is the most useful.

[Xesba01]

In short: yes, YouTube can help you... if you are prepared not to let yourself be fooled. Not everyone who shoots videos is a trader. And not every trader has to record videos.

[Xesba01]

My best advice: look for channels that show more losses than profits. That shows humility and transparency. Don�t trust the one who always wins. Something hidden.

[Xesba01]

There is a brutal difference between teaching trading and teaching how to live trading. Many know the first thing, but they have no idea what the second thing is. And that is not learned on YouTube. It is learned on the market.

[Xesba01]

If a channel tells you to win every day... run.

[Xesba01]

What I value most about some channels is when they show their mistakes. There you see who wants to teach and who wants to impress. Because learning is showing vulnerability as well.

[Xesba01]

I once got carried away by a famous youtuber. I lost $500 copying an �infallible strategy� in demo he used live. Never again. Since then, I have operated my own plan.

[Xesba01]

Don�t get carried away by the number of subscribers. Many are only there for the show, not for learning. In trading, noise sells. The content, it costs to find it.
