A list of my favorite follows in the trading world.
This list is intended to be my FAVORITE follows in the social media world. It is by no means every single person I find useful to follow, just the best of the best.
Weekly Videos
- Chris Ciovaccio
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ywfvIR2JrnMuZt33y7QYQ
Chris puts out a weekly video that is highly informative every week. He has useful blog posts throughout the week as well. - ShadowTrader
https://www.youtube.com/user/shadowtrader01
His weekly videos detailing Market Profile are solid. - COTBase
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIPXgu1ZbbebeTnhfSk6QCQ
Good weekly COT Review
Daily Videos
- FuturesTrader71 “Trader Bite”
https://www.youtube.com/user/FuturesTrader71
Really useful order flow based daily video. - TradeProAcademy
https://www.youtube.com/user/TradeProAcademy/
Useful daily video, more focused on the macro, news, economic releases. His education is also top-notch, and one of the very few paid education resources I would recommend. - Benzinga Pre-Market Prep
https://www.youtube.com/user/BenzingaTV/videos
They focus on individual stocks, earnings, and economic releases.
Blogs
- The Fat Pitch
http://fat-pitch.blogspot.com/
A deep dive into the macro picture. Well put together and informative blog. - Stockbee
https://stockbee.blogspot.com/
I rarely read this anymore, because it is mostly repeated content now. But, I did learn a ton of things about scans and how to trade small caps. I subscribed to his paid site for a year. I do trade much differently from him, but I still use a lot of his scans. - TraderFeed
http://traderfeed.blogspot.com/
Dr. Steenbarger’s blog. One of the most highly respected trading psychologists in the world. - Adam Grimes
https://adamhgrimes.com/
Always an interesting and in-depth blog post. - Jesse Stine “Friends and Family Market Alerts”
http://jessestine.com/friends-and-family-market-alerts/
These come out a couple of times a year and are informative. I traded the Stine method fairly heavily for many years before transitioning to index trading more heavily. I still trade the small caps, using some of his principles combined with Stockbee principles, but I have my own wrinkles that I favor over their methods. I don’t always agree with Stine, but I still very much look forward to his letters when they come out.
Social Media
Order Flow
- https://twitter.com/mcm_ct
His ticktools are solid. - https://twitter.com/footprinttrader
Useful information about the FootPrint charts. I intend to talk about order flow at some point. I find FootPrints to be a visual way to look at the time and sales. Humans excel in using visual information. Executed orders matter much more than unexecuted orders, IMO. - https://twitter.com/TheBish75
Very useful posts. Posts a lot of Footprint setups. - https://twitter.com/vwaptrader1
Market profile analysis.
Statistics and Backtests
Broad Category here I know.
- https://twitter.com/OddStats
Tons of backtests every day. Some small sample size stuff, but still great info. - https://twitter.com/bullmarketsco
Useful Macro and Backtests - https://twitter.com/sentimentrader
I am a subscriber to his service and a huge fan of his material. His website is a great resource. - https://twitter.com/hmeisler
Very useful macro and sentiment information. - https://twitter.com/movement_cap
His website freecotdata.com is one of my favorite ways to view the COT info. He accounts for open interest and normalizes to a 2-year min/max.
Options
- https://twitter.com/SqueezeMetrics
By far the most useful free tool for trading. DIX 45% is one of the strongest backtested signals you will find. - https://twitter.com/flowfocus
Fed flow. - https://twitter.com/Barton_options
Fed flow and Options.
Podcasts
- https://markethuddle.com/

Crypto
The vast majority of crypto people are equivalent to a heavily drugged version of Timothy Sykes. I only have three people worth following here, in terms of trading-related content. There are some good people to follow for the tech side of it, the fundamentals, etc. Pomp and Antonopoulos being two of the better ones. But as a trading blog, I am posting mostly trading related follows.
- Hyblock Capital https://hyblockcapital.com/
Easily takes the top spot in crypto. The tools here are unique and provide a quantifiable edge. - Cantering Clark — Blockroots.com https://twitter.com/CanteringClark
Order flow and price action based analysis of BTC. Very solid. - Bitcoin Trading Challenge
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-dLWl8etTtPSGdbbcYffGw
He has some outside the box ways to look at this market. It reminds me a bit of that way I look at traditional markets. I utilize some of his methods, combined with my own methods to trade BTC.
Hopefully, that helps. I think I covered everything here, but there is, of course, a chance I forgot a few. I will add any that I think should be added later. If you have any follows that you like, post them in the comments. Thanks.
