    doesn't matter...strict rules the market does not heed...we cannot..must not...dare not...make rules for the market....we must obey the market...not the market obey us...the market is fickle and does not know our rules (except where our SL are located...so they can be gunned with confidence)...the market can change on a dime...we must change on a dime...when we are are out of flow and swimming hard against the current..

     

    Patuca,

     

    It is true that the market does not heed to our rules. But I do believe that we need to heed to our rules. And if our rules are not working, then we should change them in a non-emotional state to better reflect the realities of the market.

     

    I believe that trading without a plan, that has a set of written rules, made outside the trading emotion is critical to success.

     

    Thank you.

    re: "very strict parameters"

    are those "strict" rules yours or his ?

    Thanks.

     

    zdo,

     

    I am using the methods taught to me and use the Trader's Trick Entry (TTE) for Rh's. I have them set as strict as possible so I am taking the setups with the highest probability of winning. That also means that I miss some winners. But I also avoid more losers.

     

    If there are any setups that you think I am missing, please post them and I will explain why I did not take them. Could be that I filtered out a good setup and didn't realize it.

     

    Thank you.

    Hi Handle

    The Traders Trick Entry

    At last a genuine Joe Ross method.

    regards

    Hi bobc,

     

    Yes a Trader's Trick Entry. A freebie method from Mr. Ross.

    All the other trades I have posted here are also genuine Joe Ross methods...they just cost me to find out.

     

    Thank you,

    Tony

    handle...i scalp quite often too ..like today...

     

    4 trades in ES, 3 winners 1 loser, net.. 3.75 points per contract after comm leaves a little over $167 per contract.

     

    6 scalps on NQ 5 winners 1 BE. Net per contract after comm 209.94

     

    on these slow grinding days money can be made using different tactics depending on context.

     

    are you trading all three ross patterns you learned or just one of them? looks like you are satisfied with one trade per day or did the pattern just show up once per day?

     

    you don't get bored? are you watching the chart all day or just a few minutes at certains times of the day?

     

    Patuca,

     

    I am using 3 of the 5 setups that Joe Ross taught me. I may be missing some setups. If anyone has mentored with Joe Ross and can offer some suggestions, I would be very grateful.

     

    I am learning Volume Profile from Awais and Ziad at OpenTrader but I am having difficulty reading context in the ES. Seems random and more of a game of probabilities. Most of the time it feels like I am catching falling knives or standing in front of a train. Very different than what Joe taught me.

     

    What do you use to trade the ES? Seems like a lot of activity and decent results.

     

    Thank you.

    Hi Handle,

    I did a bit of a search .

    There is lots of info on Joe Ross Methods on TL, so I not going to repeat it.

    When you went on your course, did you learn the AMBUSH method.?

    kind regards

    bobc

     

    bobc,

     

    I did not learn the AMBUSH method. It is not something that Joe Ross teaches in his private mentorship. Do you have any information on it?

     

    Thank you.

    you must have the patience of Job. I don't think i could stand that...so many days and no trades..i made 6 today..5 winners and 1 loser..all positive traders equation...all at least 1:1 rr and one that was 10:1 rr. It is hard for me to see how mr ross's setup did not appear at all today in the type of PA we had today. Did you happen to miss some?

     

    Patua,

     

    One of the most difficult things about trading these setups is their lack of frequency and the required patience to wait for them. However, the success rate is quite high (I am about 80% but Joe is about 90% correct).

     

    I reviewed the charts and it does not appear that I missed anything but if anyone is familiar with these setups, please provide some insight.

     

    I do like your frequency. It appears that you have found a good method for trading. I am still striving to become a better and more profitable trader.

     

    Thank you.

    Hi handle

    I dont believe Joe Ross taught you to trade with the method you display.

    Joe lived in South Aftica , a while back, and I had dealings with a forcasting sevice he offered.

    My golf game on Saturday is cancelled . Maybe I will tell the correct version

    I noticed WHY ? on the thread .

    He is an excellent writer, so I was hoping he would tell the true story.

    regards

    bobc

     

    Hi bobc,

     

    I am sorry to hear about your golf game being cancelled. However, I did meet Joe Ross in Texas in 2011 and he spent 3 days teaching me how to trade his methods. What you see here is my trading log of the trades I take with real money.

     

    He teaches 5 setups and I only use 3 of them.

     

    I am not sure of his forecasting service. He did not mention that during our time together.

     

    Did you or WHY ever learn Joe's setups? Did you ever take any private training with him?

     

    Anyway, maybe you can get a tee time on Sunday...

     

    Thank you.

    Trade:

    Contract: CL

    Entry Signal: Short

    Entry Price: 106.52 (red triangle) No Fill

    Exit Price: No fill

    Entry Time: 9:40 CST

    Ticks: 0

     

    The market ran right through my entry. I was not filled. Pulled the order. Obviously the right move but without me.

    Could you post the same chart but 5 min and in candlesticks .....lblack for bearish sticks and hollow white for bullish? Thanks.

     

    I net scalped 4.5 points out of ES today and 6.25 out of the NQ and i missed much of the best scalping opportunities as i was traveling and it isn't a good idea to trade and drive at the same time. So, i had to trade when i wasn't driving and missed the best swing (two legs or more) scalps which would have given even many more points. I made 8 trades 6 winners two losers...i could not imagine no scalps for two days. I suppose you are looking for just ONE particular setup? Or is it more than one? I look for several. However,..so far you have 4 winners and no losers so i can't argue with that...just saying it would bore me in a terrible way to not take even one scalp over a two day period.

     

    Patuca

     

    Patuca,

     

    I use a bar chart for trading Joe Ross's methods. He taught me with this type of chart so that is what I use.

     

    Those are great trading results. Do you post your trading log somewhere on this site? I would like to see your trading. I don't really have a good strategy for the ES. I am following FT71 and eminitrader. They both use a Market Profile approach. Both seem to have similar success as you in the ES.

     

    Thank you for your comments.

    Tony

    Handle,

    With those scalps how can you go two days without any setups? doesn't mr joseph have more than one setup? you mean you sat there all day for two complete days looking for one setup? if so, you best make haste and load the boat when you do find a setup.

     

    Patuca,

     

    I am just posting my trading log. I did sit there for 2 days without a setup. And I do try to load the boat when I see a setup.

     

    I am open to suggestions, and if I missed a setup that I should have taken, then I would like to know that too. I am constantly trying to become a better trader.

     

    Thank you.

     

    Tony
