Applying Joe Ross Trading Methods

Recommended Posts

Well there you have it.

Two well written posts .......Mr Patuca , on scalping/ short term trading

And Mr Horseshoes on longer term/ end of day trading.

Maybe this should be moved to a new thread to allow others to comment

regards

bobc

 

If you are determined to intraday trade the ES, you will find over time that most (if not all) of your thoughts towards trading will melt away as they are replaced by thoughts that are particular towards your new found interest

 

Words like 'noise' will cease to exist ... win/loss ratio will fade away as you focus on entry continuance or scratch.

You lose interest in R/R but you might be heavily attracted to moving averages of High/Low and whether they are traveling in near straight lines from time to time and whether your bar entry lies inside/outside the last bar mov av. of High/Low.

RTH Open will be a fat line across your chart together with Yesterday's Close ...2,3 day high/low plus other lines dragged forward from significant recent and not so recent turning points.

 

Trend and momentum merge (who cares what to call the next few minutes) ..either you have bought in or sold in to the developing price wave... you are either long or short on an OCO trade and your management requires you to drag the stops around the DOM, or hit the Flatten button when you want out.

Trailing Stops are for other People.

 

This style of trading is not everyone's cup of tea quite frankly .... it is best treated as a game IMO and as such we train for it ... and train hard.

 

We all need a realistic understanding of our appetite to stress and our ability to react immediately.

The rewards are good, because you are doing the same thing several times each day, (although your no. of lots keeps increasing) ... and over time you will come to understand that the price is repeating patterns but not always in the same order.

 

That is why People hold the believe that the market is random.

 

Remember that 'No. of Lots"' does the heavy lifting ... you just need to provide stability.

 

Lastly, it is a simple game and you must keep it that way ... there is no time for complexity

quick question and I admit I didn't read all the answers on the thread......is the entry being made at the opening of the candle?

 

tradingwizzard,

 

I place the order at the start of the new candle / bar.

 

Thank you.

Hi handle

....Your method is nonsense.Nothing personal.

...

You might even want to change your method after reading about Gann trading. :(

regards

bobc

 

Not everyone can trade/stick with Ross methods. Not everyone could trade / stick with Gann methods…

 

Between posters taking shts on other people’s systems and the posters, (so far only anticipated in this thread, but blve me they are their way here) who fling ‘it’s all in the edge’ - deniers of the REQUIREMENT that an edge be compatible with it’s user, it’s no small wonder to me that handle shares anything at all. Bobc I really appreciate your contributions across time, but that post – I don’t think that one helped you or anyone else. Instead of honoring his proximity to finding a self compatible system ,. You’re overlaying your own filters on it and calling ‘nonsense’ ???

 

The differences between ross methods and gann methods (in this case) abound in both structure and perceptual acuities required. The skill an eyeball Ross trader must develop (across time) is knowing those situations to stay out. This is really what separate Ross from ross traders … meanwhile most Gann methods need to be applied on every setup. … Gann found ‘no noise’ ie his 'inner geometry' tended to see and treat all pa as signal. Ross 'acknowledges' noise. His methods search for signal(s) in heavy noise… I haven’t the time to continue any comparisons in more depth...

 

…If nothing else, Ross methods are 20 – 30 times more ‘algorithmically- friendly’ than anything Gann… especially for short holding periods.

 

My point to noobs reading this - No method or edge in situ is "nonsense". Edges, in order be applied consistently across time, need to be matched to you, the individual trader. You're not just looking for an edge / method. You're looking for a method that matches well with your true nature.

Hi Handle

Double dog nonsense. (patent Patuca)

Your RED / GREEN arrows show where you entered.

You must have the highest slippage in the world

Remember......novice traders come looking for help on TL.

And they are eager to accept anything.

And they will accept your posts as gospel

I think your posts are morally wrong.

But everybody else seems to accept your posts as genuine

So I guess I am wrong..... me and Galileo.

No regards

bobc,

 

I am not experiencing slippage on my entries. I am not sure why in one post you want me to share Joe Ross's methods and in another you claim the posts are morally wrong. Joe Ross has been adopting these strategies for over 50 years. He taught them to me and others and they work.

 

Thank you.

Good for you handle for applying Joe's methods on the odd occasion when you get a signal.

There is nothing wrong watching the price all day as you learn.

If you are not doing so already, pay careful attention to the LH and HL ... how they are formed and where they are formed and where the next bar starts in relation to the previous HL and LH.

After awhile you will begin to see where the market is being pushed.

This I think is one of your best posts.....especially the last paragraph

 

What I observe about handle (more than just the trades he posts) is his approach to the "Profession" of trading....it seems to me that at some point, he made the decision to obtain the best tools he could find....in addition (to what you have pointed out) clearly he is taking personal responsibility for following the system....this is what you have to do, if you want to reach your goals....Clearly the result is excellent...now the only questions are....will the system hold up and can the operator continue to execute in a disciplined manner....

 

I hope struggling traders find it inspiring...

Patuca,

 

I use limit orders. There is no slippage with limit orders. However, there is the risk that the market will fly right past you without filling your order; but there is no slippage. I only post the trades I am filled on.

 

You are welcome to take the course through Joe Ross or try and get some perspective by reading his books. I needed the private sessions since I had no background in trading. But an expert such as yourself might be able to just read the books.

 

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments. My goal with this post is to keep me disciplined. I was hoping that students of Joe Ross would comment on any setups I may have missed or trades I executed incorrectly. Unfortunately, that has not been the case.

johnw,

 

One of the main tenants of Joe Ross is that markets are manipulated. Looking at the formation of the bars gives clues as to where the market makers want to take the market. The key is getting on board behind them when they do. Like remoras do with sharks.

 

Thank you.

Well....I am guessing that YOU will know more about the setups and about Joe's concept than most members here....my own experience is limited however one of the things that appeals to me about this system is that it relies on the time tested behavior of traders....The "Hook" as I recall was developed by Joe after he read a comment by a trader named Kneafsy...Joe decided to do the same thing and his "Ross Hook" is essentially a pattern that makes use of his philosophy that markets are moved by professional interests, and having moved those markets, at intervals they will want to take profits....the correction that occurs as they do this is the "hook". Personally I like the idea of trading based on human behavior.

Hi Handle,

 

Would it be possible to post two charts for your next entry, one with a five minute chart, and another with your entry price marked on a tick chart with a volume pane beneath?

 

Many thanks,

BlueHorseshoe,

 

I am sure if you are interested in a tick chart, you are welcome to post one here if you like. I use a bar chart so that is what I post. Keeping it simple...

 

Thank you.

    • Date: 21st November 2024. Gold Regains Momentum as NVIDIA Delivers a Revenue Surge! NVIDIA beat earnings expectations, and nearly doubled revenue on an annual basis. NVIDIA stocks dip slightly despite strong earnings and a strong forecast for the current quarter. Analysts expect market participants to purchase the dip. The Japanese Yen wins back some ground as Bank of Japan Governor indicates the regulator will be willing to hike to support the FX market. Gold, Silver and other Metals all rise due to predictions of high retail and institutional demand and geopolitical tensions remaining high. NASDAQ – NVIDIA Surpasses Earnings Expectations! The NASDAQ took a sudden dip on Wednesday measuring 1.50%, however, investors quickly took the opportunity to purchase at the lower price as most indicators fell to give an oversold indication. As a result, the NASDAQ ended the day only slightly lower than the open price, but downward momentum remains this morning. The downward momentum is partially due to geopolitical tensions which are on the rise. Yesterday, Ukraine fired UK-made missiles into Russia and fired US-made the day before. There are also reports and speculations that Russia has sent ICB Missiles into Ukraine for the first time. However, reports are not confirmed, and there are signs of certain stocks recovering. Currently, there is no economic data which is driving the lack of demand, therefore investors are mainly concentrating on NVIDIA earnings. NVIDIA beat earnings expectations by 8.50% and revenue by 5.90%. Investors were particularly impressed by the significantly higher revenue which has almost doubled annually. In addition to this, the forecast given for the current quarter came in relatively strong. Lastly, the CEO, Jenson Huang, said to Bloomberg that demand exceeds supply but the company is setting in place measures to boost supply in order to meet the high level of demand. Taking into consideration the strong earnings, positive tone and upbeat forecasts for the coming quarter, many may wonder, “why is the stock declining 2.50% during this morning’s Asian session?”. This is partially due to the lower risk appetite, but also due to certain forecast expectations for NVIDIA not being met. The average NVIDIA forecast expectations from Wall Street firms was $37.1 billion, which NVIDIA comfortably surpassed. However, certain firms had expectations as high as $41 billion. Based on these higher expectations, the company underachieved and could trigger a lack of demand from this sector of Wall Street. Though many analysts continue to expect shareholders to purchase the lower price as long as the stock market will remain favorable.   EURJPY – BOJ To Consider Hike! The EURJPY declines for a second consecutive day, particularly gaining bearish momentum after this morning’s Bank of Japan press conference. The main takeaway from the press conference was that the Governor told journalists that the BOJ was willing to hike interest rates in the upcoming months but decisions will be made meeting by meeting. The Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates in July was influenced in part by the weak Yen, which had driven up import costs and inflation. At the Europlace Financial Forum in Tokyo, Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized that exchange-rate fluctuations are a key consideration in shaping economic and inflation forecasts. He noted that the central bank carefully examines what is driving these currency changes when assessing their impact. The EURJPY now trades below the 75-Bar Exponential Moving Average and below the 50.00 on the RSI. In addition to this, the exchange rate continues to form lower swing lows while the Euro underperforms against most currencies. These indications point towards a potential downward price movement.   Gold – Geopolitical Tensions Send Gold on a Bullish Path! Gold has increased in value for a fourth consecutive day, driven largely by geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the absence of significant US economic news has left markets uncertain about the Federal Reserve’s next move. Gold is currently witnessing an active buy signal from most momentum-based indicators due to the strong bullish momentum. For example, traders are able to see the price trading above the Bollinger Band, within a bullish moving average crossover and significantly high on most oscilators. However, investors should note as the price increases, the asset can become overbought and this may trigger a retracement, a correction or sideways price movement. In terms of geopolitical tensions, hopes for a Middle East ceasefire are being tempered by Russia’s revision of its nuclear doctrine, which aims to strengthen its borders after the US-approved long-range strikes from Ukraine reached deep into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s re-election has yet to significantly influence the conflict, though markets remain optimistic about potential positive developments following his January 20 inauguration.

    • Date: 20th November 2024. Market Rebounds as Putin Signals Readiness for Peace Talks; Focus Shifts to NVIDIA! US Stocks drop to a 2-week low after Ukraine fired US-made missiles into Russia, but rebound in the US session. Putin updates nuclear doctrine, allowing Russia to strike Ukraine if it uses weapons from nuclear-armed nations. Walmart again beat earnings expectations pushing the stock 3.00% higher. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.00%. The Japanese Yen loses momentum and corrects back to previous lows. The US Dollar maintains strong bullish momentum. UK Inflation Rate rises from 1.7% to 2.3% supporting the GBP despite budget concerns continuing. NVIDIA is set to release their quarterly earnings report after market close. NVIDIA stock has risen more than 5.00% indicating the market expects a beat. NASDAQ – All Eyes On NVIDIA Earnings Report! The NASDAQ ended Tuesday 0.71% higher despite coming under significant pressure during the Asian and European session. The NASDAQ fell 1.20% during the day’s first two sessions due to geopolitical tensions triggering a much lower risk appetite. This is due to the US as well as other countries agreeing to allow Ukraine to strike Russia with foreign made weapons. Ukraine quickly took advantage of this by firing ATACMS into Russia. Russia responded by changing their nuclear weapon use doctrine. Here we can see why the global stock market fell rapidly. However, why did the market recover during the US session? During the US session, the risk appetite and confidence of the market improved as the White House confirmed nothing changes with Russia changing their Nuclear Weapons Doctrine. In addition to this, President Putin also said that he would be willing to start peace talks with President Elect Trump. Lastly, the market also took the opportunity to purchase the lower price since NVIDIA’s earnings report is imminent and Walmart already beat their earnings expectations. Walmart is not a component of the NASDAQ, but has improved the sentiment towards the US stock market. NVIDIA, which is on the NASDAQ, is set to release their quarterly earnings report after market close. NVIDIA stock rose 4.89% yesterday and a further 0.47% this morning indicating the market expects a beat. Analysts expect the company’s Earnings Per Share to rise from $0.68 to $0.75 and revenue from $30.04 billion to $33.14 billion. As no US economic data is set to be made public throughout the day, investors are solely concentrating on geopolitical tensions and earnings. The price of the NASDAQ rose above the 75-bar exponential moving average on the 2-hour chart for the first time since 14th. Traders will be monitoring whether the index will be able to maintain momentum above this level and if the price may also rise above the 100-bar SMA. Traders will be waiting for the NASDAQ to regain bullish momentum and if so will act accordingly. Buy signals are likely to rise if the price increases above $20,764.30 and intensifies above $20,777.93. GBPUSD – UK Inflation Rises Above Expectations! The price of the GBPUSD increased in value taking the exchange rate to a 1-week high, but concerns remain according to analysts. The exchange rate is trading 0.30% higher after the UK made public their latest inflation rate. The UK inflation rate rose from 1.7% to 2.3% which is higher than previous expectations and considerably higher than the previous month. The GBP is currently the best performing currency with the Pound index trading 0.21% higher. However, the second best performing is the US Dollar Index which is trading 0.14% higher. Therefore, investors need to be cautious that a retrace or correction is still possible while the US Dollar Index remains high. Currently the Pound is coming under pressure from the Autumn Budget and from farming strikes which are continuing. However, comments from the Bank of England could support the currency. The BoE warns that planned National Insurance hikes in the Labour budget may drive up prices, slow wage growth, and reduce hiring. Significant inflation could force prolonged tight monetary policy.
