Engagement
A typical post picks up 46 interactions against 98K followers, an engagement rate of 0.047%. Measured over 38 original posts, its engagement rate beats 40% of 4,160 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 4.9K times each, and 0.934% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.99% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 70% of days. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 38 posts sampled, 82% carry an image or video and 76% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 9.6K interactions, about 209x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Brett Steenbarger's engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,160 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 6 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 40% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

This is absolutely incredible. Corporate America is currently on pace for the biggest earnings beat EVER recorded. S&P 500 companies are beating earnings per share estimates by an aggregate +29.2%. To put this into perspective, the 5-year average stands at +7.0%, which is already historically high. In other words, S&P 500 companies are now beating already high expectations by ~4.2 TIMES the 5-year average. On top of this, the blended net margin for the S&P 500 is up to 16.9%, also an all time high. Even if you removed Alphabet’s $98 billion gain from unrealized equity investments and Amazon’s $53 billion gain from Anthropic, S&P 500 earnings growth would STILL be +32.0% year-over-year. We are in the midst of the largest investment boom in history.

If I start a new X account to dig deep into trading, is there anyone to follow me. I need at least 30 ❤️s to be encouraged.

S&P 500 earnings are now expected to surge 32% in 2026, more than double the 15% growth expected at the start of the year. We’ve never seen earnings growth this strong outside of post-recession rebounds. This time, there was no recession. Just an unprecedented AI-driven boom. https://t.co/YRsnxoWDgx

Leveraged ETFs are now driving markets. Leveraged ETFs now account for a record 16% of total global ETF daily trading value. This is despite representing only ~$250 billion, or 1%, of the total ~$22 trillion global ETF industry. This comes as 30-day average trading volume in leveraged ETFs has tripled since January, to a record ~$70 billion in June. Furthermore, long-leveraged ETFs are seeing ~$43 billion in average daily turnover, compared to ~$18 billion in short-leveraged funds. Meanwhile, AI-related long-leveraged ETFs now account for a record 58% of total exposure across long-leveraged ETFs, up from 26% in 2022. Among single-stock long-leveraged ETFs, memory stocks alone account for 48% of total exposure. This market is seeing massive amounts of leverage.

Most traders think discipline means having the strength to take a trade. Sometimes it does. But discipline is also: Not chasing. Not revenge trading. Not moving your stop. Not trading when there is no setup. Sometimes the most disciplined trade is no trade at all.

Something that took me a long time to realize, the wealthiest hedge fund managers are not actually doing the vast majority of the trading/investing themselves. Instead, they focus on the business while hiring teams to do the investing/trading for them.

Here is something I wrote in 2010, reflecting what I had learned about trading psychology from @VicNiederhoffer. Markets are always changing and our emotional reactions to those changes are valuable pieces of information that can help us adapt: https://t.co/uQGJKSQyvA https://t.co/Gt3DxKQ2ds

- What is Brett Steenbarger's engagement rate on X?
- Brett Steenbarger (@steenbab) has an engagement rate of 0.047%, based on the median interactions across 38 original posts from the last 30 days against 97,612 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.047%, Brett Steenbarger sits above the 25th percentile of the 40,288 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 @steenbab have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 40% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (4,160 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 @steenbab post?
- Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.7 posts per day across the measured window.
