One week competition where Daniel Inskeep, well-known YouTuber, goes against Matt, pro daytrader, who also does YouTube videos. Never heard of Matt but I've watched Inskeep videos in the past. Well made videos with good content on a variety of stuff. They daytraded Nasdaq futures for a week using a $2k with leverage. There was a volatility during week but still surprised at Matt's results.
Matt not a pro? What you saying? He's fake? I did check out his YouTube channel. I always hate it when "pros" use paid service links in their comments section. There is always the possibility that the results were sim-based and Inskeep never verified.
Damn that picture does look scammy as hell. Dude looks like MrBeast with that cheshire smile. I should email Inskeep to see if he can verify the results. I think he would. Some of his videos have been "investigative" in nature.
But also what exactly defines a pro? Pro typically means they manage other peoples money, have licenses, and some kind of track record
No. Pro day trader means a single trader making money on his own full time. Just like a pro poker player. Hedge fund managers are not typically classified as day traders.
In that case, we cannot compare right. The pro would have a lot more money to trade. The amateur account size would be very small. Unless we measure based on points gain. If based on percentage, the amateur will win for sure.
