Who is PhelmsBuff?
PhelmsBuff is a prop trading creator publishing on X, Instagram and TikTok, with 13K followers across those channels. Their content covers funded trading challenges, payout results, futures and forex setups, and comparisons of the prop firms that run them.
That is a mid-sized, focused following. This profile brings together what FYI measures about PhelmsBuff: the size and spread of the audience, how that audience responds to each post, and the brands PhelmsBuff has worked with. It is written for brands, agencies and partnership managers deciding whether PhelmsBuff is the right fit for a campaign, and for traders who want to know who stands behind the content they watch.
PhelmsBuff's audience and reach
PhelmsBuff spreads their audience across 3 platforms: X, Instagram and TikTok. A multi-platform audience gives a brand several ways in: a long-form integration on one channel, short clips or stories on another, and a pinned link or post where the community gathers between videos.
FYI gives PhelmsBuff an FYI Score of 30 out of 100, ranking them #4,451 of the 12,326 creators FYI ranks. The score combines audience size and growth, how closely the content sticks to trading, and the calibre of the brands a creator works with, so it rewards a relevant, trusted audience and not only a large follower count.
On X, threads and pinned posts put a brand next to live market commentary, where traders read during the session. On Instagram, reels reach new viewers while stories with a link sticker turn existing followers into clicks. On TikTok, short videos travel well beyond the follower base, which suits sign-up offers aimed at newer traders.
Follower counts are recorded every week on each channel, which shows whether an audience is growing, holding steady or fading, and how it compares with other creators in prop trading.
How PhelmsBuff's audience engages
Engagement is the number to read alongside reach: the share of viewers who like or comment on a post. A brand buying a placement is paying for the people who see it and act on it, and a smaller audience that responds can outperform a larger one that scrolls past. FYI measures it from each creator's analysed videos, averaged over many posts rather than taken from a single one, and adds it to PhelmsBuff's profile once enough videos are analysed.
How PhelmsBuff compares with other creators
At #4,451 of 12,326, PhelmsBuff sits in the upper half of the trading creators FYI ranks. The ranking is relative, so a creator moves up or down as their own audience, content and partners change and as other creators grow around them.
Rank is most useful when read with the rest of the profile. A creator ranked lower but focused tightly on prop trading can be a better fit for a prop trading campaign than a larger general finance channel, because the audience already came for that subject.
PhelmsBuff's brand partnerships
FYI tracks 3 brand partners for PhelmsBuff, 1 of them active. By FYI Score the list holds 1 market leader and 1 premium brand. The partners come from prop firms.
PhelmsBuff works in a market where the main partners are prop trading firms. Prop firm partnerships are typically affiliate deals paying a commission on each challenge sold, usually tracked with a discount code the creator shares on screen and in the description. Firms also sponsor live challenge attempts and payout videos, which double as proof for the audience.
Working with PhelmsBuff
Prop firms looking for a creator check whether challenges and payouts are shown openly, whether the creator trades the instruments the firm offers, and how many competing firms the creator already promotes. A creator who documents a challenge from start to payout gives the audience proof that no advert can.
Before approaching PhelmsBuff, compare three things on this page: the reach on each platform, the engagement rate against the size of the audience, and the brands already on their list. A creator who already promotes a direct competitor may be tied to them, while one with past partners in the same market already knows how to present the product.
Brands can contact PhelmsBuff through FYI by sending an enquiry from this profile. A good first message names the product, the placement in mind (an integration, a dedicated video or a link in the description) and the deal type on offer, so the creator can answer with rates and availability.
