You must have: * A strong understanding of AI and algorithmic trading * Deep knowledge of viewer psychology and attention * Expertise in hooks, open loops, and pattern interrupts * An understanding of pacing (where to speed up, slow down, pause, and build tension) * The ability to structure scripts that keep viewers watching until the end Scripts should include production notes where appropriate (e.g. speed up, pause, show B-roll, increase energy, lower voice, etc.). Please include examples of YouTube scripts you’ve written, channels you’ve worked with, and any measurable improvements in watch time or audience retention.
