Micro trading creators, 5,000 to 25,000 followers
A micro trading creator sits between a nano's flat rate and an influencer's reach premium: 54 of them here, median 8,245 followers. 35.2% link a portfolio, so you can usually see prior paid work before you brief, and turnaround is faster because most have run a brand deal already.
The largest follower band among the 54 micro trading creators is 5k to 10k, with 40 creators. 0 (0%) have fewer than 1,000 followers and 14 (26%) have more than 10,000, which is the split you would expect from an index built around UGC work rather than reach. 7 of them are on TikTok.

What micro trading creators cost
Mapped to the calculator's tiers, 0% of micro trading creators are nano (under 5k followers), 100% sit between 5k and 50k, and 0% are above 50k.

Questions about micro trading creators
How many micro trading creators are there?
The 14 September 2026 export holds 54, split 47 Instagram and 7 TikTok. Each passed the app's UGC qualification check (the bio or recent content publicly advertises UGC work), and the pool grows with every search run, so the figure is a floor rather than a ceiling.
Where are micro trading creators based?
United States (14), United Kingdom (5) are the largest pools among creators who state a country. Country is taken from the public profile, so 35 of the 54 have no listed location or sit outside the recognised list.
How many followers does a typical micro trading creator have?
The median is 8,245 followers, with the middle half between 6,281 and 10,149. 0% have fewer than 5,000 followers and only 26% are above 10,000. That is by design: the index is built around creators who make content for brands to run, not around reach.
How often is this list refreshed?
Counts and the 30 listed profiles come from the 14 September 2026 export of the index, and the page regenerates with each export. Follower figures are shown as bands because exact counts drift, and the listed profiles rotate so the same accounts are not on show permanently.
What are the rules for trading and investing promotions in UGC?
In the US, creator content about brokerages, securities, or crypto is subject to SEC, FINRA, and CFTC rules on communications, plus FTC disclosure requirements for any payment or referral bonus. In the UK, promoting a regulated investment product requires FCA financial promotion compliance, usually approval by an authorized firm, with prominent risk warnings; crypto promotions have had their own strict regime since 2023. Brief approved language only, keep the warning on screen, and review every clip before it posts.
How are trading creators compensated?
With a cash fee, since account access is not payment, plus a separately priced usage term and a paid compliance revision round. Referral or affiliate bonuses are common in the category but must be disclosed as a material connection, and some products and jurisdictions restrict them. Do not tie any part of the fee to sign-ups from the clip if that structure would create an incentive to overstate the product. Set the approval timeline in the first message.
What formats work for brokerage and charting apps?
A platform walkthrough from login to a small first order with the risk warning visible, a research-routine screen recording that shows the tool's features doing visible work, and a chart explainer that teaches a mechanic without predicting a move. Leave trade outcomes out. Ask for the raw capture without overlays so the brand can cut compliant versions and update when the interface or the required disclosure changes, and keep on-screen text large enough to read on a phone.
Should trading creators be exclusive to one platform?
A category exclusivity window of 90 days or more is normal and often welcomed, because a creator recommending two brokerages in the same month is not credible and complicates the compliance record. Name the competitors, attach a fee, and write it into the agreement with the usage and compliance clauses. Crypto and prop-firm creators may already hold other affiliate relationships; ask directly, since an undisclosed conflict is a regulatory problem for the brand as much as the creator.
