If you're learning AI trading, YouTube is goldmine—if you know where to look. Here are the 5 channels I watch every week.

1. Nicholas Renotte

Focus: Python + ML for trading
Why: Nicholas breaks down complex ML concepts into practical tutorials. His series on LSTM models for stock prediction is top-tier.

Best Video: "Build a Stock Price Predictor with TensorFlow and Python"

2. Part Time Larry

Focus: Algo trading with Python
Why: Larry shows you how to actually automate strategies—from API integration to deployment. Very hands-on.

Best Series: "Algorithmic Trading Bot from Scratch"

3. QuantConnect

Focus: Cloud-based algo trading platform
Why: Deep dives into backtesting, optimization, and deploying strategies on their platform. Great for learning systematic trading concepts.

Best Resource: Their "Bootcamp" series

4. Sentdex (Harrison Kinsley)

Focus: Python, ML, finance
Why: OG Python finance educator. His older series on using ML for stock trading is still relevant.

Best Playlist: "Machine Learning for Investing"

5. Algo Trading with Kevin Davey

Focus: Professional systematic trading
Why: Kevin is a pro trader who shares real strategies and lessons from decades of experience. Less code, more strategy design.

Best Video: "How I Test Trading Strategies"

Bonus: Channels to Avoid

Red flags:

  • Promising "guaranteed profits"
  • Selling courses before showing results
  • Clickbait thumbnails ("I made $10k in ONE DAY!")

Stick to educators who code in public, share backtests, and teach principles—not get-rich-quick schemes.

Happy learning!
