The Story

Scarface Trades disrupted the day trading education space by doing what most trading gurus won't - showing real trades with real money in real time. The channel was founded on transparency, showing both winning and losing trades while explaining the strategy and thought process behind each decision. This authenticity in a niche plagued by scams and unrealistic promises attracted serious traders seeking legitimate education. The channel's content centers on live trading sessions, strategy breakdowns, and market analysis focused on day trading stocks and options. Rather than selling a course first, the creator built trust through months of free, high-quality content demonstrating consistent profitability. Videos show actual entry and exit points, position sizing, risk management, and the emotional discipline required for successful day trading. This comprehensive education approach built a community of practitioners rather than just spectators. Scarface Trades monetization strategy reflects the trust built with the audience. While YouTube ads provide substantial income due to the highly engaged trader audience, the channel also offers a premium Discord community where members can see trades in real-time, ask questions, and learn from a community of active traders. The transparency-first approach, while riskier than hiding behind promotional content, created a sustainable business built on genuine value delivery.

Most trading channels sell you a dream. We show you the reality - the strategies that work, the discipline required, and yes, the losses that teach the best lessons.
