Here’s a thread for you.
How many trading modest 7 fig accounts post daily gains on twitter? NONE

How many of those post #webull gains cards ever? NONE

How many successful multi year profitable PT traders quit jobs like every kid on fintwit? VERY FEW

What I say is opinion. Just watch people and see who are fake. Info is alleged until proven, any most fakers will slip up and show their hand. Paper trading, screenshots of fake or other’s gains, showing fake win %, show winners only = marketing. False advertising imo.

How many successful FT traders managing large accounts are posting 20x a day? NONE

Why does everyone want you to move to options - esp 0dte - and now futures? To sell you something. Long term losing strategies, unproven, highly dependent on your perfect execution.

Why are all “furus” 18-25 with no education or job and 1-2 years trading? How did several seem to come from Wallstreet but trade on fintwit now selling services but never shown where trained on WS? Content creation is the scheme.

You don’t need a paid room if you cannot speak unless pay high prices & listen to mods chat away all day. Successful traders don’t have time to chat on 3 platforms all day. Most mods are not even profitable, many trade tiny accounts, gains of “Room” used to draw you in.

Notice the 4pm tweets and retweets. Marketing. Follow those who will show setups, entry, exit. Atlas used to say could not show bc their size moved the market. Lies obviously. Always said anyone who could show proof of highly successful strategy could charge whatever want

EOD gain polls likely not true. Followers don’t want to say lost money today. Amount of followers usually faked (why you only see 100 active but 3000 online). Same for twitter / IG followers, many bought. 30 engagements with 100k followers is likely fake.

Rooms not doing 1:1 teaching so why ever limit subs? It’s marketing. They will gladly take everyone if willing to pay.

Don’t buy indicators. 10 mins online you can find free ones.

Daytrading takes time to get good yet every guru is 18-25 with no job and 1-2 yrs trading.

Everyone just wants to share their success & help you be successful, but for $100-500/mo. Don’t buy course on vwap or emas, take 15 min on YouTube. Avoid anyone saying have 90% win rate strategy. Somehow 20 yo’s just figured out markets over algos and MM’s overnight.

Most paid services are from young kids who just started. Many started llc’s before even started trading. Look them up. Guys make millions but all live with parents or in tiny apartments but have expensive trips, cars, watches = show=marketing.

Anyone saying no/few red days are likely lying. Same for scalping $10-100k in 0dte options in minutes daily without also experiencing huge losses when wrong. Notice many use no SL but also never get caught on wrong side.

Notice which ones run together.

Furus usually back each other and compound on same followers. Is why the Atlas 1.5m followers claim weak, mostly same followers. Content providers are new scheme. Many good ones, some even charge modest fees, but most seem to be in it to scheme. To me scheme when false adv

False gains, exaggerated wins, no losses, fake lifestyle to get you to pay for their knowledge. Some I see still work low-mod paying jobs but say make $1M year. Believe that?

Watch the hanger-ons they usually gearing up for paid subs. Eddie C usually touted others to get…

Name recognition, more followers, and push interaction. More action = more clout / followers / money.

Whatever outcome of Atlas trial, still unethical & predatory on new traders. Same imo as educational scams. Constant recurring payments from 1000s > trading any day.

Finally, some really good guys teaching with subs. Nothing wrong with that. Falsely promoting is wrong if not illegal. Ppl desperate for quick gains will pay something and they prey on you. You are the product. So how to beat the system?

Get platform like TV, add data, add indicators. Make few tabs with diff indicators and timeframes, study price action in those, refine, then trade. Options, buy time to start. Quit chasing idiots showing 600% gains those are lottos and likely 1 con. Those happen every day.

If a room doesn’t let you ask questions then leave. Have seen gurus who don’t know what a fib or ema are but have paid room. You’d be surprised how many paid guys can’t trade themselves. Avoid anyone bragging or who blocks for questions. Avoid those from old Atlas group.

Can you make $ trading short term daytrading, YES. Is it easy and will you make millions, almost def NO. You can supplement income, learn something new, even become highly successful but not in months. And you will lose often. Best of luck, do great, and avoid scams.
