Joe Ross
Joe Ross has been trading and investing since his first trade at the age of 14, and is a well known Master Trader and Investor. He has survived all the up and downs of the markets because of his adaptable trading style, using a low-risk approach that produces consistent profits.

Joe Ross is the creator of the Ross hook™, and has set new standards for low-risk trading with his concepts of "The Law of Charts™ " and the "Traders Trick Entry™." Joe was a private trader and investor for much of his life, but a serious health situation in the late 80's caused him to shift his focus, and that is when he decided to share his knowledge. After his recovery, he founded Trading Educators in 1988, to teach aspiring traders how to make profits using his trading approach.
Joe Ross has written twelve major books and countless articles and essays about trading. All his books have become classics, and have been translated into many different languages. His students from around the world number in the thousands. His file of letters containing thanks and appreciation from students on every continent is huge: As one student, a successful trader, wrote: "Your mastery of teaching is even greater than my mastery of trading." Joe Ross holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of California at Los Angeles. He did his Masters work in Computer Sciences at the George Washington University extension in Norfolk, Virginia. He is listed in "Who's Who in America." After 5 decades of trading and investing, Joe Ross still tutors, teaches, writes, and trades regularly. Joe is an active and integral part of Trading Educators. He is the primary author and Editor-in-Chief of the company's newsletters: Chart Scan™, Spread Scan™, and Traders Notebook™. He is also the host of the free Wednesday Live Chat, the free Wednesday European Chat, and the moderator of his popular trading forum. |
Joe's philosophy for helping traders is:"Teach our students the truth in trading — teach them how to trade'"
"Give them a way to earn while they learn — realizing that it takes time to develop a successful trader."
Joe sets forth the mission of Trading Educators as follows:
- To show aspiring futures traders the truth in trading by teaching them how to read a chart so that they can successfully trade what they see, and by revealing to them all of the insider knowledge they need in order to understand the markets.
- To enable them to trade profitably by training them to properly manage their trades as well as their mindset and self-control.
To accomplish our mission for our students we educate them so that they know and understand:

Andy Jordan
Educator for Spread Trading and
Editor of Traders Notebook & Spread Scan Newsletter
Andy Jordan did his first option trade at the age of 18. Since then he has been fascinated by the world of trading. In 2002 he met Joe Ross, and became interested in spread trading. Andy was then intensively tutored by Joe Ross and personnel at Trading Educators.
Even though Andy has shown in his live chat and in several trading journals that he is able to day trade today's markets, spread trading has always been his favorite.
In addition to his own spread trading activities, Andy is the editor of Traders Notebook. For those interested in one-on-one personal coaching, Andy has developed and instructs a one-week online course in spread trading "Trade with a Pro" during which he demonstrates all aspects of trading from choosing the trades on through how and when to enter the trades, manage the trades, and exit the trades.
Joe and Andy have developed a number of trading methods, among which are the E-mini 60 Trading Method™, the E-mini 40 Trading Method™, the Profit Popper Trading Method™ and a Bond trading method.
Andy Jordan was born 1965 in Germany, but is currently living in the Caribbean. He has studied mathematics and business administration in Regensburg and Hagen, and holds a PhD in mathematics.
William O. Vanecek
Product Development, Consultant
William first met Joe through his wife, Susan Vanecek. Since then, he has been studying everything by Joe that he can get his hands on. He was quick to recognize the value of Joe’s decades of experience and has a great desire to absorb as much of the Ross wisdom as possible.
William is currently working on projects to bridge the gap between the novice and advanced trader. He has also created products that will make every trader’s work life easier. Two extremely effective tools are the handiwork of William; the Life Index for Traders™ and the "Equity Evaluator™.
He is zealous to bring the Joe Ross philosophy of trading to the full spectrum of traders, whether it is their first day of trading and they need some serious hand holding or they have been trading for many years and just need a fresh perspective.
William studied psychology and accounting and is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in Texas where he currently resides with his family.
Loretta Ross
Corporate Secretary/Treasurer, Facilitator
Loretta is known as “SC” in Joe’s book, “Trading Is a Business.” She is Joe’s wife of over 50 years, and is the all-around administrator, office manager, accountant, and editor-in-chief of everything that comes across her desk. She also does "everything else" — whatever is not a part of someone else's job, and sometimes even when it is, Loretta does it as needed.
If you received something that has in it any kind of spelling, grammatical, or punctuation error, it is only because the rest of the staff slipped it by her. In every way, Loretta is part and parcel of all that takes place at Trading Educators.
Denise Ross
Book Sales & Customer Support
Denise is Joe’s and Loretta's daughter-in-law, and is the owner and operator of Ross Trading Inc. Denise is the lady who answers most of your phone calls for service, problem resolution, and ordering. Only when Denise has to run to the post office to physically mail out your book orders will you find the phone call-forwarded to the rest of us.
Denise handles all of the book orders, helps put out fires, generates ideas, does research, and is in charge of customer relations. When you need great service, Denise is the one to talk to.
