I like "When someone tries to sell you their profitable trading patterns". I swear more of these gurus on social media make more off their views, hustling e-content sales and courses or affiliate sale of signal services then they make actually trading. I would go as far as to wager the majority of the "gurus" have never learned basic risk management, perfected their own trading psychology, or even made enough for a substandard of living off of solely trading at any point yet in their careers' or lack there of. Great video again. I had subscribed to this channel a while ago and today I had some free time when the markets slowed down for a NY session lunch and started exploring your content more deeply. Glad I did! Great channel Great Work. Hopefully your channel gets millions of subs, Thank you for you efforts

This channel is a goldmine im currently exploring. Really nice to see that my idea of that no strategy will work for a long time in the market seem to be a very true idea

Great video. Well researched, and cool visual effects. I'd like to see your format applied to a decade (20's/60's/80's 90's 00s etc) series that could show the time, the bubble of the era, the villains, etc. Keep up the good work!

A video about Bill Huang would really slap at this moment.

Your channel helped save me from the delusion of day trading. I realize now what resources it takes to get an "edge"in these markets, and the lone wolf just doesn't stand much of a chance.

Great videos and production.

I think your amazing channel deserves above 1M subscribers.
It'd be amazing if you could make more technical videos and talk more in-depth about the quant strategies, research process, data, models, and ...

You should make a video on Jane Street Capital or Hudson River Trading

The title of the video implies that Two Sigma stole models, not that an employee stole from them. That's not fair to this particular firm.
Two Sigma may or may not be the good guys in this game. That depends on whether we support the organizations that invest with them. Is Two Sigma trying to help a bunch of nonprofits while charging reasonable fees, or are they trying to just grab 150% of the benefit for themselves? The video didn't address that question at all.
