Free Live Daytrading Streams for Casual Traders: Reddit Picks & Research Insights

Reddit users in r/Daytrading recommend TraderTV (YouTube) as a free live stream for casual traders, praising host Shawn’s clear trade explanations and honest approach [1]. One user notes aligning trade ideas with Shawn to increase position size, indicating community trust [1].

2025 research identifies key free streams: Yahoo Finance offers daily shows (Market Catalysts, Opening Bid) without subscriptions [2]; tastylive provides 7-day options/derivatives streams [3]; CNBC’s Fast Money has free content but some premium features [4]. Limitations: no true no-delay streams, delayed data feeds, and no real-time execution in free options.

Reddit’s TraderTV aligns with research’s observation of YouTube’s educational but mixed-quality streams, while professional platforms (Yahoo Finance, tastylive) offer structured reliability. Both confirm free options exist, but no no-paywall streams bypass delay constraints.

• Risks
  : YouTube’s variable quality (potential misinformation), delayed data hindering timely decisions.
• Opportunities
  : Free streams (TraderTV, Yahoo Finance) enable cost-free learning; community recommendations help find reliable creators.
