HeavyWeights
Living legends with a PROVEN record of making millions in the market. These guys are a guarantee in a sea of fake gurus.
đˇ @DanZanger â Dan Zanger is the World Record Holder Top Swing Trader. This beast turned $10,775 to over $18,000,000 during the parabolic move of the dot.com bubble. Dan trades in the style of William OâNeil, the legendary author of âHow to Make Money in Stocksâ and founder of Investorâs Business Daily. Check the book, check Dan, build a solid Technical Analysis foundation before getting too âcreativeâ.
đˇ @markminervini â Mark Minervini is the author of âTrade Like A Stock Market Wizardâ and âThink & Trade Like a Championâ (amazing books, read them!) and, most importantly, heâs one of the best traders of all time. Again, before following the magic trading system of â@yoloCryptoGuruMagic599â, and jumping from system to system in search of a magic holy grail (that doesnât exist), follow and learn from people that have a proven record (and put their name and face out there).
Advanced Technical Analysis: Classic Charting
Excellent classic Technical Analysis
đˇ @RedDogT3 â Extremely transparent classic TA from the team at T3Live, theyâve been around for centuries, they know what theyâre doing. Very balanced analysis based on price levels for day-trading stocks and indices. It doesnât get much better than this if you want to day-trade.
đˇ @traderstewie â As solid as they come, a pattern trader with a lot of experience and great teaching skills. Honest, skilled, transparent and very calm (so he can help you a lot also in the trading psychology department): one of the best choices especially if youâre new to trading and need guidance. Heâs not flashing lambo dreams, just some great cooking recipes now and then. Higly recommended.
đˇ @alphatrends â Brian Shannon, author of âTechnical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframesâ, one of the pioneers in Multi-Timeframe analysis and market phases. Often copied by fake gurus that specialize in re-naming patterns to sell them as their own, please go directly to the source and save yourself some pain + money. Living Legend.
đˇ @FusionptCapital â Experience matters. A LOT. Sure, you can be a ânaturalâ (barely/rarely), but experience makes all the difference in navigating the market. Great technical analysis, charts and a lot of funny tweets, mainly mocking the usual mistakes that newbie traders make (for example, picking a generational top every 3 days, or doing TA on the VIX, weâve all been there :))).
đˇ @commander10 Another great follow keeping it clean, simple, and effective. When you have some experience, less is more. The more you clog your charts with indicators, the more your newbiness is showing. Less is more. Heâs going with less, and the more is surely showing.
đˇ @MysteryTrader99 â great clean charts with traditional classical patterns, outstanding accuracy on major markets and sectors turning points. If you love charts, youâll love him.
Advance Technical Analysis: Specialty Kings
Technical Analysis focused on a specific system such as Elliot Waves, Demand and Supply, Volume Studies, Fibonacci ratios etcâŚ
â -
DeMark Traders
Tom DeMark brought several innovations in the trading world. Most known for his 9â13 counts, but thereâs a lot more to discover.
đˇ @TommyThornton Demark counts with a focus on the broader market environment = what the heck do you need more.
â -
Elliot Wave Traders
Elliot Wave is an extremely complex discipline. Be very careful: EW attracts a lot of traders, but 99% of people preaching the method are just wave slappers that will get you rekt. These ones, instead, are extremely good:
đˇ @SmartContracter is changing my mind on Elliot Waves (and thatâs something, I thought the quickest way to become a millionaire was starting as a billionaire and apply EW)
đˇ @WyckoffOnCrypto â Wyckoff analysis for Crypto, imagine that. Extremely transparent in his process, and, most of all, turning points in Crypto probably call him before proceeding. Amazing accuracy, if you want to swing trade the best crypto pairs, following him, and, if you follow him and still lose money, seek medical attention.
đˇ @AviGilburt He doesnât tweet a lot (and thatâs a shame), but you can find his analysis all over the Internet. A master of the craft that also added some personal elements to it, absolute must follow both to learn the ropes and to discover some advanced EW concepts.
â -
Short Side Traders
So youâre feeling bold and you want to short uhm? Think againâŚthis is an extremely difficult route that only few can master.
đˇ @team3dstocks one of the few demonstrations that you can be a permabear and a great trader at the same time. His feed is literally an advanced TA goldmine, focused on volume analysis.
â -
Fibonacci Traders
Iâm not a fan personally (Iâm more a fan of the ârandom line theoryâ) but there are some traders that found a way to use Fibonacci levels effectively (vs flip-coining them).
đˇ @Fibonacciqueen â multi-timeframe Fibonacci cluster analysis for both price and time to nail potential reversal points. Carolyn is one of the most known technical analysts out there.
â -
Demand and Supply Traders
One of the most effective trading method, very suitable both for beginners and people with limited time. This is one of the simplest yet most important discipline you can learn to decipher the markets.
đˇ @TraderSimon very experienced demand and supply trader. I suggest you do his course on Udemy and follow him on Twitter. Basic demand and supply often doesnât cut it, thatâs why Simon added some advanced concepts that can make the system much more reliable.
đˇ @korinek_trades Great demand and supply trading, no fluff, imho exceptional resources for new traders.
Forex Traders
So you feel like a ledge and want to compete in the most difficult market out there, playing heads up with JPMorgan and the Squid? I would suggest a psych evaluation first, but, if you like the challenge, make sure you follow:
đˇ @Trader_Dante One of the pioneers in trading education (most of the PA furus you follow probably stole at least some of his concepts and re-branded them), heâs also one of the most entertaining accounts on #FinTwit. His brilliant communication style allows him to educate on the most important, non-sexy concepts (keeping a journal, calculating R, waiting for setups, evaluating your pshyc) while keeping it always fun. Basically, he sneaks in the steak while joking on the sizzling. Absolute ledge.
Market Veterans
Despite what Crypto traders that have been trading for 6 months and offer a paid sub will tell you, trading experience matters. Itâs not guaranteed that youâre a good trader only because youâve been in the game since the mesozoic, but itâs guaranteed youâre a bad one if youâve been trading for less than SEVERAL years. Follow this experienced guys to get to know why nuances in trading do make a difference.
đˇ @jedimarkus77 recovering former CME member, he mainly trades stock index futures with a good dose of sarcasm. In trading, little things matter a lot and often go unnoticed in favor of BS âsecretâ indicators, but if youâre serious about trading professionally, you have to follow people like him and find small gems hidden between the lines.
đˇ @KASDad worked in Wall Street back in â65 and it shows. Always balanced, he keeps it simple and effective. No secret recipes or flashy calls, just a lot of knowledge and the strong psychology of someone whoâs been there, done that.
Master Scalpers
Traders that scalp the heck out of it.WARNING: scalping is extremely hard, an art all by itself, almost a completely different discipline. Donât think âmore trades = more moneyâ.
đˇ @PaxTrader777 very experienced, down to earth, passionated, gives a boatload of info for free and heâs very focused on helping new traders. I donât know what you can ask more. One of those rare fintwit gems you should absolutely follow.
đˇ @Dope_Trades If you didnât do his course and think youâre doing TA youâre just fooling yourself. One of the most advanced TA course out there, put in a simple, straightforward way. Extremely good if you want to learn advanced scalping concepts to apply on Futures. Rated R as Rude AF.
Crypto Traders
If youâre into TA and making money (you should be), crypto can be an extremely remunerative asset. The space is flooded 99% by scammers with 3 years trading experience holding global conferences from their momsâ basements, so the competition is much, MUCH lower than in traditional markets (you can clearly see that in the charts). The 1% left is top-notch and should be followed also by non-crypto traders for their great insights.
đˇ @SatoshiFlipper The terror of all the crypto furus out there, spewing for free info that your paid leader probably doesnât even know. Focused on big caps with an extremely practical, effective, no-nonsense approach. In a space filled with noise and charts with 783 indicators (just to be sure), a safe port and a great follow.
đˇ @majinsayan â Absolute madman, one of the most entertaining crypto trader out there, and heâs also a solid demand and supply trader. Crypto twitter needs this kind of anti-BS accounts (given the obvious flood of furus that makes the classic fintwit look like Harward). Gems such as âSomeone managing 400 million in bitcoin be like: uh-oh the rsi is overbought, time to marketsellâ are well worth a follow.
đˇ CryptoGainz Keeping it simple because heâs not stupid, he offers both great insights and some great indicators (I know, almost unbelievable) for free (I know, almost unbelievable). Great follow, he keeps it funny, interesting and useful at all times.
Macro + TA
Traders that mix Macroeconomics with Technical Analysis
đˇ @CiovaccoCapital â Data, data and some more data. Balanced research very appreciated by experienced traders, and for a good reason. Good research and objective data always beats the flood of gut instinct opinions that you find on most Twitter accounts.
đˇ @HenrikZeberg â rare mix of macro and technical analysis based on EW. The macro side + inter-market analysis (exposed in an extremely clear way for non-experts) is core skill to pin-point turning points in various markets, and few traders really have it.
đˇ @SamanthaLaDuc â another great mix of macro and technical analysis. An account to follow if youâre interested in the underlying behavior (Macro, Fundamental, Intermarket and Technical side) of global markets.
Trader Psychology and Risk Management
Best account to follow for trading psychology tips
đˇ @prrobbins constantly dropping bombs of wisdom, and not the usual corny onesâŚ
Star Entertainers
Letâs be real, trading is a stressful job. These people offer constant laughs with their sarcastic market commentary, theyâre truly a life savior even in the direst market environments
đˇ @RampCapitalLLC â can words really describe him? A legend. Also a serious investors, but we donât care about that đ Also look for his dad dropping bombs on the latest momo stocks.
đˇ @CryptoCred heâs probably also a very good trader, but I donât care and itâs a difficult thing to evaluate while pissing your pants anyway. These guys are the real reason many experienced traders stick to twitter, they make it fun and extremely entertaining for everybody.
đˇ @RudyHavenstein â Now, if I have to tell you what this man is doing, the reality is I have no idea. I just know that I keep spitting my coffee everywhere 3â4 times a day. Also one of the smartest critics of the current economic system, but always in a way that lets you spit your coffee.
đˇ @inversebrah No idea how this account was born, but itâs genius and the most tagged on Crypto Twitter. If someone says something trading-related stupid (that happens more or less once every 5 seconds on Twitter), youâll find it collected here. Probably THE must follow if there ever was a must follow out there.
đˇ @OddStats + @UncleRico77 the most entertaining couple (yes, theyâre together in real life, even if OddStats allegedly offers escort services) on #FinTwit. I put them together because their backs and forths are comedy gold. Make sure you have them in your feed before they get banned.
đˇ @Hipster_Trader I really donât know how you can come up with something extremely smart and funny every half and hour, but he does.
Scammers
You suck at trading and need a steady monthly salary? Whatâs better than selling a subscription to a bunch of noobs? #FurusGoneWild
đˇ @shadownomics now banned from Twitter, this scammer has a wide cult following (like every scammer). Simple market phases as described millenium before him, this is the perfect example of why you should study the classics or everybody with a good dose of charisma will take advantage of you in this pool of sharks of #Fintwit furus.
đˇ @I_Am_ICT scammers are easy to recognize. Just look for a cult following and you found one. This master FURU (weâre talking about heavyweights here) spend the day A) telling you heâs the son of God B) selling you Wyckoff springs and utads like he created them out during his fatherâs creation of earth. All reashed classic TA with a changed name. He also claims âI intentionally misguide you so you donât get the whole systemâ. I got the whole system. All reashed classic TA with a changed name.
