Portrait of Ross Cameron

About

Hailing from the scenic landscapes of southern Vermont, Ross Cameron is a true product of his environment.

He is a man who took the path less traveled and created a story worth telling. He's an alumnus of the esteemed Dublin School college prep academy in New Hampshire and holds an education degree from Vermont College. Faced with the harsh realities of a job market in the deep freeze, a consequence of the Great Recession, Cameron sought unconventional avenues to make ends meet.

From a young age, the stock market intrigued him, and he decided to delve into the world of day trading. It wasn't a seamless journey to success, though. What many people today know is the story of Ross Cameron turning a modest day trading account of just $583.15 into an impressive investment portfolio, amassing more than $10 million in audited profits. The road to this achievement, however, was paved with challenges and hurdles.

It was in the throes of adversity that Cameron stumbled upon the momentum trading strategy. Having hit rock bottom when his account dipped below the requisite trading minimum, he decided to conduct a thorough examination of his past trades, spanning two years. It was this introspection that revealed a pattern promising extraordinary returns. Cameron understood that his fixation on large-cap stocks like Apple was becoming a bottleneck. He shifted gears, choosing instead to focus on small-cap stocks with exchange prices between $2 and $10.

Ross Cameron's journey from struggle to success ignited in him a fervor to educate others about his trading strategy. Born into a family of educators, teaching was in his blood. He leveraged his background in education to disseminate his knowledge and expertise.

In 2012, he initiated the Warrior Trading blog, documenting his experiences as a day trader. By the following year, he was producing informational videos for YouTube. He later established a day trading chat room and started teaching day trading classes in 2014, further expanding his reach. He published his instructional book, 'How to Day Trade,' in 2015, becoming a veritable authority in the field.

In an attempt to prove the efficacy of his momentum trading strategy, Ross Cameron made a bold move. He invested a mere $583.15 into a day trading account in 2017. With strategic trades and shrewd decisions, he managed to balloon this modest sum to a staggering $10 million by 2022.

Today, Ross Cameron continues to thrive in his role as a day trader, generously sharing his insights through the Warrior Trading platform and other initiatives. He admits to living life task by task, saying, “When I finish trading, it’s time to dig into my Warrior Trading task list." Cameron's tasks usually revolve around trading, such as creating content based on his daily trading experiences and archiving his trading activities for his students. He enjoys the variety of his role, which requires him to wear different hats.

While he resists the label of a 'traditional CEO' because of its 'corporate' connotation, Cameron loves what he does. He lives in the picturesque Berkshires region of western Massachusetts with his wife and two sons. In his free time, he enjoys sailing, playing tennis, and mountain biking. Cameron also has a keen interest in automobiles and maintains a blog dedicated to his hobby, "Tire Kickers by Ross Cameron".

Available research data suggests that most day traders are NOT profitable. In a research paper published in 2014 titled “Do Day Traders Rationally Learn About Their Ability?”, professors from the University of California studied 3.7 billion trades from the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992-2006 and found that only 9.81% of day trading volume was generated by predictably profitable traders and that these predictably profitable traders constitute less than 3% of all day traders on an average day.

In a 2005 article published in the Journal of Applied Finance titled “The Profitability of Active Stock Traders” professors at the University of Oxford and the University College Dublin found that out of 1,146 brokerage accounts day trading the U.S. markets between March 8, 2000 and June 13, 2000, only 50% were profitable with an average net profit of $16,619.

In a 2003 article published in the Financial Analysts Journal titled “The Profitability of Day Traders”, professors at the University of Texas found that out of 334 brokerage accounts day trading the U.S. markets between February 1998 and October 1999, only 35% were profitable and only 14% generated profits in excess of $10,000.

The range of results in these three studies exemplify the challenge of determining a definitive success rate for day traders. At a minimum, these studies indicate at least 50% of aspiring day traders will not be profitable. This reiterates that consistently making money trading stocks is not easy. Day Trading is a high risk activity and can result in the loss of your entire investment. Any trade or investment is at your own risk.
