Ross Cameron is a day trader and YouTube personality. He was born and raised in Vermont. Although he developed an early interest in stock trading while in grade school, he was discouraged by a lack of gains.
In his town, a nine-to-five job was considered the key to success. Accordingly, he began to pursue a teaching certification after he graduated high school. After he received an inheritance following his father’s passing, Ross Cameron again turned to day trading.
Inspired by a close friend, he began a rocky, two-year journey in learning how to day trade. At the end of the two years, the successful day trader and financial mentor found himself in debt and with only a quarter of his former trading account (Reddit).
He gave himself one last chance and studied his past trades closely. After he implemented a new strategy and a set of strict rules, Ross Cameron began to see strong financial gains. He started his YouTube Channel to share the hard-earned lessons from his early days in trading.
Because of his previous interest in teaching, this felt like a natural progression in his stock market career. He also realized that teaching others enables him to do a deeper analysis of his trading strategy, which in turn spurs further self-improvement. To date, Ross Cameron’s channel has amassed nearly 100 million views and over 1.1 million subscribers.
