30 micro trading creators from the November 2026 index
Public profiles only: handle, platform, follower band, niche labels, and stated country. Handles open the creator's profile page where one exists, otherwise their own account. Contact details are part of the product and stay masked here.
Swipe sideways to see every column.
Avatars are generated illustrations assigned by a hash of the public handle, not creator photos. The same handle always draws the same character, and the character says nothing about what the creator looks like.
Unlock emails for all 61 micro trading creators. Every one has a contact email on file in UGC Agent, 31 more than this table shows. The button opens the UGC Database filtered to trading; set the follower range there. 3-day free trial. Cancel anytime. Every creator shows in full during the trial; emails unlock when the paid plan starts.

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: 61 of them here, median 7,864 followers. 36.1% 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 61 creators here run from 6,270 followers at the first quartile to 9,968 at the third, with the median at 7,864: 75% in the 5k to 10k band, 25% in the 10k to 50k band. 36.1% link a portfolio site, a second signal that they take briefs.
Where micro trading creators are based
United States (20), United Kingdom (5), Canada (1) lead by country among micro trading creators. The rest are spread across 2 more listed countries plus profiles with no stated location.
After that come India (1), Romania (1). The six together account for 28 creators. Each country link opens the trading list for that market, with its own table, platform split, and follower bands, which is the quickest way to check whether a market has enough depth for a ten-creator test before you brief.
What micro trading creators cost
Every creator on this page falls in the rate calculator's micro column (5k to 25k). At that tier a 15 to 30 second UGC video typically runs $225, between $150 and $350, a five-photo set about $225, and 12 months of paid usage adds about $225 per video on top of production. Use those as an opening range, not a quote: niche, deliverable count and usage terms move every number.

Questions about micro trading creators
How many micro trading creators are there?
The 9 November 2026 export holds 61, split 52 Instagram and 9 TikTok. It is the same pool as the app's UGC Database (public profiles found by UGC searches, each with a public email), 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 (20), United Kingdom (5), Canada (1) are the largest pools among creators who state a country. Country is taken from the public profile, so 33 of the 61 have no listed location or sit outside the recognised list.
How many followers does a typical micro trading creator have?
The median is 7,864 followers, with the middle half between 6,270 and 9,968. 0% have fewer than 5,000 followers and only 25% 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 9 November 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.
