Ross Cameron is a day trader and Youtuber but doesn’t consider himself an entrepreneur. The first time he day traded with the Ameritrade stock, he was still in high school. Ross had experience working for other firms before starting his own and has been running his YouTube channel for about a decade. He also enjoys time with his wife and two sons. People remember that he turned around $500 into $10 million, but there’s more to the story than that.

A Full-Time Day Trader

When Ross Cameron was in elementary school, he found out his great-uncle made his fortune in the stock market. He was in the seventh grade during the dot-com bubble. His school took a field trip to New York and did a semester on the stock market. He wanted to use the $100 from his newspaper boy job, but more was needed for the stock market.

First Trading Account

Ross Cameron opened and funded his first trading account with $1000 while he was on summer break from high school in 2001. He didn’t realize that some company movements were enough to make money in one day. After investing in several companies, Ross continued researching and checking them daily all summer. He didn’t make any money and focused on other high school and college summer jobs, such as pool boy and mowing lawns.

Returning to the Stock Market
Ross Cameron went to college to be a teacher but felt lost after his father died. When his sister turned 21, their father’s estate gave them each $100,000, but he didn’t know how to spend it. Ross thought about buying a rental property but couldn’t get a mortgage. After a friend made thousands trading penny stocks, he traded again. In 2012, Ross Cameron started a firm using his experience with day trading and soon created his YouTube channel. He makes around $100,000 annually with millions of views monthly on his channel. Ross’s net worth is over $25 million from day trading and running his businesses.
