Ross Cameron

Cameron grew up in southern Vermont, opened his first brokerage account at Ameritrade in high school with $1,000 of saved money, and graduated college in 2009 straight into the Great Recession. Architecture salaries in Vermont were half of New York's; he turned back to the stock market and found his lane in momentum day trading — small-cap stocks moving on news or float catalysts in the first 30 minutes of the US session. He started posting his daily activity on a blog he called Warrior Trading in 2012.

Warrior Trading now operates a paid trading-education business with chat rooms, courses and a moderated mentorship structure. The YouTube channel @DaytradeWarrior has crossed 1.9 million subscribers as of late 2025 and gains hundreds of thousands a year — by audience scale, it is the largest day-trading YouTube channel in the world. Cameron's self-reported P&L is one of the higher numbers in the retail-education category — he and his marketing materials have publicly cited turning $583.15 into over $10 million, with updated figures stating $18.5M+ — though the FTC took action against Warrior Trading in 2022 over deceptive earnings claims; the case was settled.

For trading-tournaments.com, Cameron is a useful profile but a complicated one: he is genuinely the most-watched day trader on YouTube, his public footprint is enormous, and his methodology is one of the most-imitated in the small-cap-momentum corner of US equities. We will publish him with an honest disclosure about the FTC settlement and present what is verifiable from his own posts and broker-statement screenshots rather than the headline numbers from his marketing. He is contactable through Warrior Trading's PR team and through @DayTradeWarrior.
