Chart Scan with Commentary: My Bad
What's wrong with this picture? I'll tell you what's wrong - it's a losing trade and I made it! What did I do wrong besides going short? I forgot that there would be a major economic report, and I wasn't paying any attention at all to the entry. I saw the entry signal, jumped in, and then got busy with something else. Actually, I had a guest.
The picture is from a method I was trading in 2006, so what you are looking at is old. However, my purpose in showing you this chart is two-fold, as you’ll soon see.
What I liked about this method was that, unlike a mechanical trading system, I could modify it to suit myself. I'm not going to get into the modifications I made because as with most methods, it stopped working, and I had to go on to something else. One purpose of this example is to show you that sometimes it's better to err on the side of caution. In this instance, when it was obvious that the time period from 08:10 to 08:50 ended with a very strong Close 1 tick away from the high of that 40-minute period, getting short was in no way the wise thing to do. Because I was distracted, I failed to notice it. I had lost my concentration. This is where the human brain is supposed to kick in and set off alarm bells. In my case I didn't give my brain a chance to work. :-( The other purpose of this article is to point out that if you are going to day trade, you must have absolute focus - total concentration, otherwise don’t trade.

PLUG (Plug Power Inc.) Trade
We don't need a big up move after our entry to get high annualized returns on margin. Sideways action is sufficient if we maximized premium by entering on a down move/spike in implied volatility.\
On 3rd March 2022, we sold to open PLUG Apr 14 2022 15P at 0.32.
We could buy to close this put at 0.08 on 17th March 2022 for an annualized return on margin of 208.57%.

Day-Trading the T-Notes Future without Stress
Like almost everyone out there, Ambush too got hit by the crazy markets out there, including the 10 Year T-Notes Future (ZN, traded at CME). But that market did give us quite a reversal and its performance is at new all-time highs again!
Here's a daily chart of the ZN Future, showing the last month of trading. As you can see this market moved lower but did so in a slow way. Perfect conditions for the Ambush System that managed to hit one swing-low after the other providing plenty of profit opportunities.
Here are the results of these trades, trading only one 10Y T-Notes Future (ZN) contract:
Yup, that's a profit of over $2k in just a few weeks with a couple of trades in the $1k profit range. That's a lot for a day trade in the ZN future which is a small contract!
Here's the long-term chart of ZN:
Notice that all of these are actually day trades, even though they're based on end-of-day trading decisions. Ambush is exactly that, an easy way to day trade not for a few tiny ticks with a lot of stress but placing your trades once a day, walk away, and go for the big intraday moves!
Don't miss the next trade and join Ambush Signals today!
Happy Trading!

The Ambush Trading System was created in 2007 by Marco Mayer. Since then it proved itself in the markets for over a decade and did so with exceptional results. It's the only trading system we're aware of that is still going strong after so many years. While Ambush is a day trading system, meaning you will always enter and exit on the same trading day - you don't have to sit in front of your trading screen. You simply place your entry orders when the trading session starts and come back at the close!

Even though Master Trader Joe Ross passed away September 7, 2021, his trading knowledge of over 60 years will carry a trading legacy and will live on. As you learn about Joe Ross and understand what he was trying to teach his students, you will find that within his writings, he had a very special gift. Most importantly, it was his students that kept him striving to provide comprehendable trading material to actually teach traders and become independent, to rely on anyone, but themselves.
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 was able to survive 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 founder and contributor of the company's newsletter Chart Scan™.
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:
