u/raps_BAC, so this would be a bit like telling a really successful tight end that he isn't a good football player unless he can be a star quarterback, too. Or telling someone who is really good at guitar that they aren't a good musician unless they can play the drums, too.
Let's break this down a bit.
Ross uses a momentum day trading strategy, buying stocks as they break out and then selling higher. For a stock's price to move up rapidly, you need high demand (typically driven by a news catalyst) and limited supply (a small cap), which creates volatility.
Large cap stocks by definition have a large supply of shares on the market, at higher prices, so it would take a unique event (and a lot of capital) to create a big move to capitalize on. Ross did trade the SpaceX IPO (it's on the youtube channel) - but that day, it had a limited supply and a huge demand.
Trading large caps requires a huge amount of capital and doesn't offer the volatility where a stock is going to squeeze up 100-500% within minutes.
Here's an example- yesterday there were 5 small cap stocks up 100% or more. Go look at the chart from $GNPX yesterday as an example to see the volatility.
$MSTR is a large cap with some momentum today, and compare that chart to $GNPX from yesterday. $GNPX was trading between $4 and 7 and made a huge move shortly after it put news out at 7am. $MSTR has been going up steadily today, but is $100 a share, and while it's up around $10/share from the open, that has been over the course of hours.

Which would you focus on trading? Which looks more profitable to you?
The reason why Ross trades small caps is that it is where the volatility and the moves are. And it doesn't require hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars in capital tied up.
Hope this helps.
