Warrior Trading review: is Ross Cameron's day-trading school legit?
Warrior Trading is a day-trading education company in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, founded by Ross Cameron, who live-streams his own small-cap momentum trading most mornings. It sells course memberships plus monthly software, chat and simulator subscriptions. We read Warrior Trading's own membership, Pro and trial pages; the FTC's 2022 complaint, court order and refund announcement on ftc.gov; the BBB and Trustpilot profiles; five Reddit threads with their comments; and a long-term member's YouTube review (transcript and comments).

Our verdict (editorial opinion)
A real education business with a large, mostly happy paying community, but the FTC's own data says most customers did not make money trading. Warrior Trading delivers what it sells: courses, a daily live stream, chat rooms, scanners and a simulator. Many members on Trustpilot and Reddit praise the teaching. In 2022 the company and Ross Cameron paid $3 million to settle FTC charges over earnings claims, without admitting them. The FTC's complaint cites Warrior Trading's own simulator data: 74% of accounts lost money over a five-month period. Treat it as paid education for a high-risk activity, not a way to make money.

Is Warrior Trading legit?
Yes, as a business. BBB lists Warrior Trading Inc. as founded in November 2010, with Ross Cameron as founder and CEO. Members across Reddit, Trustpilot and YouTube describe the same product: structured video courses, a live morning broadcast, chat rooms, mentors and scanners. Nobody we read said they paid and received nothing.
But “legit” does not mean you are likely to profit. That is the central finding of the FTC case. It is also something Warrior Trading now says itself. Its trial page warns that “not everyone will be able to properly grasp the subject of trading and become consistently profitable in the long term.”
The 2022 FTC case, read from ftc.gov
On 19 April 2022 the FTC filed a complaint against Warrior Trading, Inc., Warrior Operating Inc. and Ross Cameron in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Case No. 3:22-cv-30048 (complaint, PDF; FTC press release). What the FTC alleged:
- Warrior Trading's ads featured Cameron's own trading results and called his strategies “profitable” and “scalable”, and these earnings claims were deceptive under the FTC Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule.
- From January 2018 to March 2021 the company made “tens of millions of dollars” in revenue from these programs and spent more than $12.8 million on advertising.
- Warrior Trading's own simulator data for November 2020 to March 2021 showed that “74% of the accounts lost money, and only 10% earned more than $90”. The complaint notes that simulator data “might not entirely represent customers' actual performance”.
- Broker records for some customers' trades between May 2018 and May 2021 showed “the vast majority of customers made no money or lost money”.
How it ended: the defendants agreed to a stipulated court order without admitting the allegations. It entered a $3,000,000 judgment, and it bans unsubstantiated earnings claims and claims that customers can succeed regardless of education, skills, capital or time spent trading, or by using the simulator. In January 2023 the FTC said it was sending more than $2.9 million to 20,402 people, about $145 each on average. These are the FTC's allegations and the terms the defendants agreed to; no court tried the claims. We found no later FTC action (FTC case page).
Common misstatements. Some YouTube commenters say Cameron was “found guilty” or fined by the CFTC. The ftc.gov records show a civil FTC settlement with no admission of liability. They do not show a criminal case or a CFTC action.

Members' extra costs: you need a trading account. In the US, pattern-day-trader rules mean at least $25,000 in a margin account, or using a cash or offshore account. A 2025 Reddit commenter puts an offshore broker at about $150–200 a month and says they “spent several thousand over a couple years”. Hardware and trading platforms cost extra too.
What members and viewers report
About the allegations on this page. Statements from Reddit, Trustpilot or YouTube users are their own opinions or accounts. We quote or summarise them with a link and date; we have not verified them, and we do not present them as fact.
- r/Daytrading, Mar 2025: u/Pure_Boysenberry_301 says the classes were worth it “even though I never got my money back trading. Not even close.” u/Great_Guarantee_1871 calls it “money well spent, but it depends on your annual income.” u/MaverickDark watched Ross “for years until I realized I couldn't become profitable” with small caps, and moved to large caps. u/mishaog claims Cameron's viewers provide liquidity for his trades; another member disputes this, saying Cameron discourages mirror trading. This is an allegation we could not verify.
- r/Daytrading, May 2025: one member says “He's legit… I've profited enough to pay for the membership and more.” Another says they learned “the exact same things for free off his YouTube channel.” A third calls the course “a scheme to create a constant flow of naive new traders”, which is their opinion, unverified.
- r/propfirm, Dec 2025: a member who still trades with the community calls the program “pricey but very well laid out”, and warns that Ross's main strategy “is not to be mimicked until you are fully experienced”. Another commenter urges buyers to read the FTC case first.
- r/Daytrading, Nov 2025: a buyer of a three-year Pro membership “for like $2500” says it is “100% worth it” for traders copying Ross's style, and “absolutely not worth it for short biased or large cap traders”.
- r/Daytrading, Oct 2025: the original poster praises Cameron's free material. The top reply (75 points) says his style “is not for the neophyte”.
- YouTube, Mindfully Trading (about 119,000 views): in a 2020 video a former Pro member says she found the course high quality and would recommend it “if you've got the spare money”. She also says you need separate money to trade with, and the early simulator was slow. Commenters ask, without a clear answer, whether she ever became profitable.
- Trustpilot: 4.8 from 2,773 reviews, 92% five-star, 121 in the last 12 months. Trustpilot's AI summary notes complaints about the “demanding time commitment”. Trustpilot also says the company “hasn't invited customers recently, so reviews may not be representative”.
What we could not verify
- Ross Cameron's own trading results. He publishes broker statements and the complaint quotes him claiming about $3.3 million in profit. We have not audited them, and the FTC case concerned how such results were used in marketing.
- Member income stories. Interviews with members who “made over 100k” (mentioned on Reddit) are selected success cases, not typical results.
- Current customer outcomes. We found no post-2021 data on how many paying members trade profitably.
- The liquidity / “front-running” claims made by some Reddit users. These are unproven.
The seller's side
Warrior Trading's own materials say it does not promise profits. Its trial article says the goal is “to explore our community and tools”, not to trade profitably during the trial, and that education and simulator practice take time. Cameron repeatedly tells viewers not to copy his trades, as several Reddit members confirm. Most Trustpilot reviewers and several long-term Reddit members credit the courses, mentors and scanners. The company agreed the 2022 order without admitting the FTC's allegations.
Our verdict
Legit education, high risk of trading losses. Warrior Trading is a real, long-running school with a structured curriculum and a strong community, and its own pages now carry explicit risk warnings. The evidence against it is not about non-delivery. It is that most customers in the data the FTC reviewed did not make money, and Ross Cameron's fast small-cap style is hard for beginners to copy. Only buy if you can afford to lose both the fee and your trading capital. Use the free YouTube material and the $19 trial first, and budget for the monthly add-ons.
What we like
- Structured curriculum (200+ hours on Pro) with a live daily stream
- Well-regarded scanners and an active mentor community
- Cheap $19 trial and lots of free YouTube material
- BBB A+ with no complaints in three years; 4.8 on Trustpilot
What to watch out for
- FTC data: 74% of simulator accounts lost money (Nov 2020–Mar 2021)
- $3M FTC settlement over earnings claims (2022, no admission)
- Real total cost includes $97–$247 monthly add-ons and trading capital
- Strategy demands early mornings, fast execution and Level 2 skills
