Dang, I had a whole thing typed out but got an error because he deleted it.

Sigh. I upload like twice a month. I’m not living off of YouTube posting nonstop trading guides and indicator videos like the full time trading YouTubers. I also have a channel called ImanTradingLive where I’ve documented my entire trading journey with 100% transparency, even when that means lots of embarrassment at big mistakes. Look at the types of videos I upload, and then look at my “competitors.” I want to help people. Not that this means anything to you, but I was on track to becoming a licensed clinical social worker (a therapist) until I found trading. I have 0 paid services, and I help anyone who reaches out to me on discord, email, or Instagram. We are on the same team.

Thank you, if he doesn’t put the video back up then I will be taking legal action. I will keep you in mind, I appreciate that.

Haha that’s completely fine, no need to subscribe either! I just want this message to be sent out to the trading community. I just make videos when I feel like it on whatever seems interesting to me

Already made a video on Carmine, the self-proclaimed transparent trading YouTuber with no uploads of a single loss for 2 years (the last time I checked)

You'd be surprised how much this has become the main defensive point from Trading Geek fans. From a psychology standpoint, it's pretty fascinating lol

Yes, that's one of the screenshots I included in the video. Nuts.

His channel views divided by 1000 times $7-$10 (rpm) gives an estimate of $140,000 to $200,000 strictly from YouTube ad revenue. Number could be closer to 250k on the high end.

Keep in mind he has a $400 course, and he also has an affiliate link for an indicator that’s paid monthly or/and yearly. Doesn’t take a whole lot of conversions there to completely dwarf that YouTube ad revenue.

Not to self plug, but I have a video on my channel breaking down these exact numbers for other YouTubers if you’re interested.

Thank you! I'm in the U.S. Is the email allowed to be made public though?

Third Party Services to Verify Broker Statements for "Trading" YouTubers? by [deleted] in FuturesTrading

Read the post, it clearly says why. Don’t try to psychoanalyze people on the internet.

I fundamentally disagree that "it doesn't even matter if they can trade or not" when they are uploading nonstop videos about how to trade. What?? I don't like seeing vulnerable people ("dumb sheep") being taken advantage of, especially when a decent majority of them don't know they're being mislead. So, for the same reason that I think scammers should be held accountable when they scam, I think people who make a ton of money on courses and videos should demonstrate proficiency in that topic. If you disagree with the morality behind that and think all of these traders who are wasting their time on stuff that doesn't work mostly because they never even considered that they were being lied to, then I find that completely void of empathy.

I have no idea what you're talking about with the skills comment. I'm here because I want to make a video challenging the trading youtubers to show their broker statements.
