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. Tony

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. Tony

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

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. Tony

Hi Bob, Is this the same bobc that was complimentary the other day? Tony

No setup today = no trades today.

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.

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.

And take good supplements. Especially a multi-vitamin and fish oil.

Yes. Definitely. But I would trade less often with more size.

Is there any updates to UTA? I have excel 2007. Thank you.
