Applying Joe Ross Trading Methods

Recommended Posts

I had taken a 3 day private tutoring session with Joe Ross in 2011. Up until that time, I was struggling as a trader. After taking the private session with Joe, I have started to make money trading.

 

While I am not able to share the methods that Joe Ross taught me, I would like to share my trading log with you in order to keep myself focused and disciplined.

 

I would appreciate any discussion, comments, or questions that you may have. I am continually humbled by the markets on my path to becoming a more profitable trader.

 

Thank you.

Hi, nice of you to post your log....what would also help struggling traders is if you would provide an approximate budget...so that they can have a realistic idea of what an effective education costs....

 

Thanks,

Steve

Steve,

 

Thank you for your reply. I can attest that having a mentor is very important especially if someone is struggling. I paid a few thousand dollars for a private session. Paying for someone's time runs on the more expensive side, but will save you money in the long run.

thx.

zdo,

 

Yes. I read Daytrading, Trading Is a Business, and Trading By the Book. After reading them, I was so confused that I emailed Joe Ross about them. After many back and forth emails, and a third party's recommendation, I decided to go meet him for a private 3 day session. He straightened me out trading wise, and I began making money as a trader.

 

In order to stay disciplined and focused, I thought that posting my daily trading log would help me follow my trading plan.

 

Thank you.

handle,

 

re: "After reading them, I was so confused". What was confusing to you in the books?

 

Some questions about his training (, not his trading...)

 

How is his personal instruction different from his books?

 

In his personal instructing,

1 ) does he have a progression from the 'beginner training' mode of taking a 'fixed' x number of ticks from each entry (ex: looks like you're taking 10 from cl ) to larger and variable 'targets' ? ... and

2 ) does he (progressively or not ) add any 'filtering' to taking the signals into his training.?

 

Thanks.

zdo,

 

For me, the books seemed hard to follow. I thought they were informative, but not specific enough for me to trade from. The concepts on management, wisdom, patience, etc. were very helpful for the mental part of trading. But I needed more. I was new to trading and trading seemed like a foreign language to me.

 

In his personal training, he:

1. scalps for daytrading. For swing and longer term trading he lets the market take him out with a trailing stop. I only daytrade so am scalping only.

2. He does not use indicators or filters, but he teaches discretionary trading, which by definition uses experience and intuition as built in filters. He does not take some trades that I take, for example, because he did not like the way it looked. His win ratio is better than mine, but my ratio has a positive expectation and is sufficient enough to make money.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Thank you.

 

Tony

handle,

 

Thanks for the info. I’m curious because I read Ross in the early 90’s and didn’t get much out of it for “discretionary” trading… however, later I did circle back to some of his (very code-able) ‘patterns’ for intraday automation setups. Imo, beginning short time frame traders are not wasting their time studying Joe’s work…

 

You’re lucky you have the pre-existing aptitudes and inclinations to be able to see ‘mkt representations’ (ie charts, etc.) very similar to how he sees them. Most one on one trainings, actually most of all trading education, is rarely a match with the trainee’s true nature… (but can always be seen as a stepping stone… :) )

…and meanwhile, the anti-vendor detractors will pop in to essentially say ‘if it ain’t good for everybody, it ain’t any good for anybody”…

 

Repeating an earlier question ( – re the “scalps”)

"In his personal instructing,

1 ) does he have a progression from the 'beginner training' mode of taking a 'fixed' x number of ticks from each entry (ex: looks like you're taking 10 from cl ) to larger and variable 'targets' ?"

Thanks

 

All the best.

zdo,

 

He does not view scalping as 'beginner training'. He views intraday trading or day trading as a scalping environment, so fixed targets. The larger and variable 'targets' are for interday or swing trading. He teaches both targets depending on your time frame and risk tolerance.

 

Thank you.

I understand . Thanks for clarifying.

 

I was using the term 'beginner training' based off his previously published materials and forum postings in reference, not to the scalping methods, but to the setting profit targets (and stops) parts and the question was about what he is teaching now vs what he was teaching then...

 

 

 

 

So alternate reply to

maybe not anymore... but it still seems that

He does view scalping as the 'starting point'

zdo,

 

I am not sure if he used to teach something differently. I do know that for daytrading he scalps or picks his target. Maybe in his prior education, he did not discuss daytrading.

 

Hope that helps.

 

Thank you.

    • YUM Yum Brands stock, nice breakout with volume +34.5%, from Stocks to Watch at https://stockconsultant.com/?YUM
    • Date: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
