    Keep a trading journal and rate yourself on how you feel each morning before you start trading. Evaluate your state of mind: what has affected you recently, how much sleep did you get, did you drink the night before, etc. Then keep track of that rating to see the correlation of your trading and your emotional state score. Don't trade when your emotional state is below a certain score. That has helped me.

    Heaven vs. Hell

     

    Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the cars are German, the lovers are Italian, and it is all organized by the Swiss.

    You can setup a free blog with Google's "blogspot". Post charts, ideas, etc.

    you could also start a thread hear, post charts etc. As long as it does not become spamming..

     

    Thank you but I am looking for a group of Joe Ross students who would like to collaborate real time or soon after the close, on setups taken, missed, etc.

    I still have not been able to identify these methods and it's profitability let alone all the other methods of george soros level gurus on on forums.

     

    Which methods are you referring to?

     

    Have you taken the mentoring with Joe and still not identify the methods?

    Ive been trading for almost 15 years now, and in that time, Ive never met a single trader who could actually explain the ross hook without contradicting themselves.

     

    Every single forum thread on the ross hook is the same, a bunch of people who where taught the set up by Joe, but who have totally different interpretations of what it actually is !

     

    Im not particularly interested in Joe's methods (for reasons I wont go into) but out of curiosity, can these set ups be identified objectively, are there rules, or is it all a bit discretionary ?

     

    The Ross Hook can definitely be identified objectively. I think discretion is important to trading in general, but not for identifying a Ross Hook.

    Most of the basics from Joe Ross are the Ross Hook and the 1-2-3 method. However, Joe Ross teaches additional methods through his mentorship program. I am interested in forming a group of traders that are trading those methods wither in a room or through a blog so we can help each other. Identifying incorrect setups taken or missed setups would be very beneficial. We are not looking to teach the methods, but instead to improve their implementation.

     

    Let me know if you are qualified and interested in joining.

     

    Thank you.

    I would like to form a group with people who have taken the private mentoring with Joe Ross and are trading the methods taught so that we can interact on the setups taken.

     

    Either we could post our charts of the trades taken and explain the setups and exit strategies used or we could start a chat session at the beginning of the trading day and discuss the setups developing.

     

    I would like meet and to see how others are doing with Joe Ross's methods.

     

    What do you think?

     

    Interested?

    A lot of the educators out there were successful traders...on the floor. Most, if not all, were unable to make the transition to the screen. So they teach what they knew on the floor. IMO the skills on the floor are different than the skills needed to trade from a computer.

     

    When I first started to trade, I traded over Skype with a couple of former floor traders. They knew the lingo but they had no more insight to the market than I did as a beginner. It was still a guessing game for them. They wanted to get into the education end. In fact, one of them did and is making good money at the education.

     

    I think that unless you have a family member that is a successful trader, it will be difficult to find a trader to help you. If they are good, they are usually reclusive and secretive.

    Hi Signals provider,For the most part I can agree with most if what you said. Are you talking about having other traders with you in the same geographic location ? If that's the case it would certainly not be my cup of tea.

     

    Several years ago I traded with a loose knit group of traders, never exceeding 3 or 4.. We were never in the same geographic location, We communicated by email or txt.. We all traded the same way for the most part. And the idea was that 8 eyes are better than 2.

    If things got really exciting, we would open up a Google chat room or something. Just my thoughts.

     

    I have used Skype without video for trading with other traders. It is good to have more than 2 eyes on the market. Sometimes it is easy to overlook something. And when the market is about as exciting as watching paint dry, the conversation with like minded people is nice. Most traders are reclusive so finding the right mix can be challenging.

    Hi Handle

    Sorry but I cant resist this.......you should be reading some books on Joe Ross.

    regards

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:bobc that was funny.

     

    I have read Joe Ross's books. They started me on my trading career. I should probably look at them again since it has been a while.

    You must be right, thats why it is the most popular charting software there is! I have been using NT since 2008 and it is a great program. You can say that it is not a good fit for you or that it lacks some feature that is important to you, but its not reasonable to say that NT is "an amateurish limited software"! I am not familiar with Sierra Charts, but have heard some good things about it. There is no need to denigrate NT because you like SC better.

     

    I agree with you Joseph. I too have been using NT and it is a great program. I think it comes down to user preference. Learning a new platform can be a pain but both SC and NT are good choices. I prefer NT myself.

    Yes, the quiz was removed.

     

    It was a quiz to help you decide what kind of animal you are: a Shark, a Bull, a Squirrel, or a pug-faced seal cub destined to be clubbed over the head and made into a nice hat . . .

     

    'Cos that's really why you came to a TRADING FORUM, isn't it - to find out what kind of animal you were?

    Is there any other reason?
