A typical post picks up 72 interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Measured over 207 original posts, its engagement rate beats 29% of 3,882 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 22K times each, and 0.331% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.01% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 7.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 207 posts sampled, 16% carry an image or video, 6% are part of a thread and 23% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 725 interactions, about 10x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

Steve Burns's engagement rate beats 29% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 24% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.007%, Steve Burns sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 37,582 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 105,409 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

    Protect your capital.
Protect your capital.
Protect your capital. Until the odds are heavily in your favor. Then have the courage to put enough capital to work for taking risk to be worth the potential reward.

    The market rewards four things: 1. Patience when there is no trade. 2. Courage when the odds are in your favor. 3. Exit discipline when you're wrong. 4. Conviction to hold longer when you're right. Most traders fail because they use the wrong one at the wrong time. Which one is hardest for you?

    Trading has a strange relationship with effort. Sometimes, 8 hours of research lead to no trade. Sometimes, 5 minutes of execution creates your best trade of the month. The market doesn't pay hourly wages. It pays for good decisions.

    The market doesn't require you to be right every day. It requires you to: Lose small when wrong. Win big when right. Trade smaller when uncertain. Wait, when there's no signal. Act when the odds shift in your favor. You don't need to predict the market. You need to survive long enough for your edge to compound.

    Trading may be one of the few careers where being alone can become an advantage. No customers.
No office politics.
No meetings. Just you, the market, and your decisions. But independence comes with a price: There is nobody else to blame.

What is Steve Burns's engagement rate on X?
Steve Burns (@SJosephBurns) has an engagement rate of 0.007%, based on the median interactions across 207 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,084,201 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.007%, Steve Burns sits above the 10th percentile of the 37,582 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @SJosephBurns have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 29% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,882 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @SJosephBurns post?
Most posts go out around 09:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 7.43 posts per day across the measured window.
