Edition 935
June 10, 2022
Dear Traders,
Master Trader Joe Ross passed away September 2021, and prior years he was continously sending me folders filled with Chart Scan and Trading Articles. The emails would be titled "More to follow" and I would reply, "Keep'em coming". I am calling these lessons "hidden vault" material because if Joe were still alive, this is exactly what would be shown in your inbox every Friday morning. This is not regurgitated material; this is new stuff written by Joe or as he would refer to it with such passion, "This is good stuff".
As we continue to receive newsletter sign ups, new students from every continent will start to learn trading Joe's way especially in this challenging market. This is where he would reinforce to his students, yes, that includes you, that learning to trade is possible even in this environment, "A chart, is a chart, is a chart". His writings will stand the test of time to provide teaching lessons and guidance.
The proceeds of Trading Educators will continue to support Joe's wife, Loretta, of 62 years of marriage, which she is our number one priority. We thank everyone with continued support and prayers for her well-being in late stages of dementia.
As expressed in the past editions, the trading world has lost a unique and passionate trader and his material will continue to be relevant. Let's start learning to trade Joe Ross' way with our future Chart Scan publications. I am here to help, so feel free to email me with any comments, questions or concerns.
All the best,
Martha Ross-Edmunds

Chart Scan with Commentary: Cattle-Hog Spread
I received a call from my broker who told me a trader he knew wiped out 2 or 3 years of day trading drawdowns in a matter of weeks. The broker then said, "Thank God for spreads!"
I wonder how many of you are missing out on the wonderful and profitable world of spread trading. Below you see a spread that is trending, as many spreads do. Spreads trend based on the reality of the underlying fundamentals. They do not swing as do outright futures, due to market manipulation. If you hate having your stops run all the time, then spread trading may be just what you are looking for. Spreads follow the Law of Charts, just as all markets do.
Below we see a Live Cattle-Lean Hog spread. This spread has reduced margins, considerably lower than outright futures. Yet you are controlling 80,000 pounds of meat. We see the spread breaking out of a trading range. We then see a second chance for entry. From there on it was easy money and, like that pink rabbit on TV, it just keeps going.

Trading Article: Interesting Question
A reader sent in the following question: Any idea of who was the seller of the first mechanical trading system? I heard that it included a whole bunch of phony information.
I have more than a few candidates for that honor. But rather than name names, because I’m not 100% positive which rascal came first, I will just call him...read more.

STLD (Steel Dynamics Inc) Trade
When timing entry is precise, selling naked puts is still the easiest strategy (easier fills).
For STLD, on 24th May 2022, we sold to open STLD Jul 15 2022 60P @ 1.10, with our short strike well below price action.
We could buy to close this put at 0.40 8 days later, for an annualized return on margin of 266.15%.

The scientific elimination of loss is one of the most important factors in the art, and the operator who fails to properly protect his paper profits will find that many a point, which he thought he had cinched, has slipped away from him.

Update on Day Trading the E-Mini Russell 2000
One of the top markets over the last couple of years for Ambush Traders has been the Russell 2000 Future. It doesn't matter whether you traded the E-Mini or the E-Micro contract - you surely had a perfect time! So I thought it was time for an update on its performance, how did we do this year so far?
Here's a daily chart of the E-Mini Russell 2000 (RTY, traded at CME), showing the last couple of months of trading. As you can see this market did what markets do 90% of the time, which is why Ambush is such a great trading method. Now how do you trade that mess? Looking for momentum here or a trend? Good luck! What works? You have to ambush these markets!
It amazes me how great Ambush is in getting in at exactly these swing points. Have a look for yourself:
The edge of Ambush is that we get in on such days BEFORE everyone else does when the swing-point is already in place. We participate and profit from those coming in later when the move is often already over (thank you guys!).
Here are the results of these trades, trading only one RTY contract:
Yup, that's over $16k profits with a drawdown of only 4k with just about 40 trades. This gives us an average trade profit of almost $430 and a profit factor of 2.1! This means we had 2.1 times as much profits as losses within that period. That's something, isn't it?
Now the E-Mini Russell 2000 Future is a large contract and not suitable for small accounts. But you can do these trades also in the E-Micro Russell 2000 which is just 1/10 the size and more than liquid enough for Ambush Trading. Remember we don't get in and out of the market 10 times a day and make our brokers rich. We place our order once a day and walk away till the close!
That's what makes Ambush Signals so great, it works with any account size offering three subscription models depending on your goals.
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!
Marco
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:
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.
