which youtube "traders" are legit?

  1. On occasion I still watch the odd 13-market-moves channel out of humorous interest. That guy used to advertise/spam the hell out of it on Youtube. Things were so hokey and cringy with poor images and shots of porn models etc.

    You have to ask yourself... even if there were such a thing as a real mensa-verified day-trader. Are you trying to really learn how to trade, or are you looking for someone spamming you with hot pics of chicks all day? Isn't that a warning bell right there? But again, I guess 'things are different this time' ehh. Totally credible advertising!

  2. Oh, something to further add. While I shy away from most Youtube gurus... I am taking a look at 'ShadowTrader' lately, only because a retired bonds-desk guy I know has said a few good things about him.

    At least it's not some young & dumb millennial giving some advice on how to make millions (while he's at the age that he still thinks he knows everything). Haha!

    Anyhow, ask me in a couple months what I think of this guy and we'll see...

    Elon Musk buying a stake in TWTR and now it is skyrocketing. That is why you cannot rely on the news. By the time you get wind of it, it will be too late. Looking at the stockchart of TWTR, it was starting to move higher. I do not own TWTR in the interest of fair disclosure, merely, using it as an example. Learn to read stockcharts, you will be better off for it.

    Kullamagi has all but stopped streaming so lately I been watching Day Trader TV's live stream just to have some "white noise" in the background instead of silence. Occasionally they tip me off to something I might have missed. When Kullamagi does stream it's usually short (20 minutes?) and he's been a foul mood lately, this market just doesn't fit his favorite strategy(break-out).

  8. I do find it hard to believe someone who should have over 50+ million trading account, claiming to have made 10s of millions in profits uses a paper trading account/charts....

    (see top middle of the page)

    I guess the question you should ask yourself is, if you had a 50+ million trading account would you be streaming on twitch. I will answer for most that do... of course not!

    I see most of what he streams and writes is free, so people will ask what his motive for this all is. Well that's the oldest trick in the book, build up a following, build trust, show value and then hit everyone with your state of the art trading course etc.

    I can't put my finger on it, but I would be willing to bet all that I have this guy his not a million dollar day trader/swing trader.

    Just to add, pictures like this on IG....

    I know of big time traders, but still they are a lot smaller than what he is claiming to be. Their set ups are insane, unreal! 6-8 screens, high powered cpu etc etc.

    This guy, laptop on the beach!

    I think Kris is a very good trader and very skilled at what he does. He's been at it about 12 years now. I think he took full advantage of the great bull market from 2010-2021. He recently said his account was over 100mm for 3 days in november. Whether you believe him is a different discussion I suppose. In this current market he's been "forced" to trade mostly slow-moving,grinding commodity and energy ETFs...NUGT,COPX,etc. I guess he keeps streaming because he just loves trading. If I had 100mm in the bank I wouldn't be streaming,I'd be on my yacht in the south Pacific somewhere snorting cocaine off a supermodel's ass. LOL

  10. People who are not rich make all kind of assumptions based on what they think they would be doing if they were rich.

    Warren Buffet still goes to work every day and lives a frugal lifestyle, although he clearly does not need to and could be snorting coke on a yacht.
