Meet Kevin?? Graham Stephan?? They are real estate guys turned YouTubers. Kevin likes to brag about his portfolio but mainly he's a Tesla guy who's had the balls to bet big and grew his trading account. But neither of those are "trading" gurus. So you are off there.
These are not my videos. I just linked them and copied the descriptions. btw, Karl Domm bought Kevin's course and made a video rewiew about it.
If Ross Cameron was so successful as a trader, then he would have started a hedge fund and made 10x more money than he is with signal service and chat room website. Given the popularity and past real results, he would have gotten big money into the fund very easily.
I wonder if these guys could scale up to hedge fund size? If, and it's a big if, the YouTube traders are as successful as they claim, would a hedge fund consider recruiting them? One of the edges a retail trader has is they don't have to move huge size.

Up $3.8 million in 2021. It's interesting that none of his "students" came on here to defend him. I still call b*llshit on his executions. He was trading live for a while which was highly entertaining so I'll give him that since it was free but I feel for the people who get sucker in and pay $3-4k fee to join his course. People assuming that they can replicate his trading will end up in his trader rehab quickly.
His executions are real. What he is doing is still a bit scam-like but it's not as easy as "he's just faking it". You have to watch very closely and analyze data from the exchanges to see what is going on. When his live stream (yes, the one you have to pay for) shows him entering a trade you can watch the executions at the exchanges and see the ask side of the order book being bought. Learning what is going on with his trades is fascinating but it does require analyzing a large dataset.
Interesting. The other important facet is that when the students pay that exorbitant fee, that they be able to replicate his type of trading. I mentioned in a prior post that I have my hot key setup nicely tuned as well. I can't get close to what he's doing. This is a large part of my skepticism. If he could actually do a video detailing exactly how he does a trade where he adds multiple times as it's gyrating wildly, it would go a long way to legitimating his process. People who are actually trading these high volume small caps know what I mean. Bid/Ask spread starts to widen. If you are hitting the ask for a long, you are already down. Him always saying he's "taking profit" in that gyrating mess. It's very hard to believe. In case, you know Ross or happened to him Would love to see that video.
It's not something you can replicate but it's not at all hard to believe. You get nanosecond timestamps on trades from the exchanges and can see it in the data. You can also watch his trade screen. It's all very real. What you are trying to ask is: Does he have some advantage that you and I can never have? The answer is YES. He has thousands of people watching his trades and trying to replicate his results. I've got a fairly well developed theory on how he takes advantage of that but I won't get into details in a public forum. The bottom line is that he is simply leveraging the advantages he has created for himself. He's no different than anyone else. The Ross Cameron hate seems to be misdirected. If someone thought they could do what he does by sitting alone in their basement at the computer then they are naive. You may indeed learn to trade profitably but you won't likely trade as he does (unless you get a big online following).
