Chart Scan with Commentary: Bullish Uptrends
A bullish uptrend move begins with increased daily-range price bars, gaps, or both, and sharply rising prices usually breaking out above the high of the last upward retracement of a downtrend.
If an uptrend begins as the breakout from consolidation, we will see increased daily range price bars, gaps, or both, and sharply rising prices, usually breaking out above the high of the consolidation, followed by a retracement back towards the consolidation, and finally confirming the move with a steady flow of upward prices.
When we see that in a market, we know we are in a bullish uptrend phase, most likely at the very beginning.
In decades prior to the advent of the personal computer such moves could last for many week, months, or even years, but modern-day markets tend to trend mostly for days or weeks. These abbreviated price moves have been titled "swings."
Uptrends are basically driven by three human emotions: Fear (of missing a move); Greed (the desire for just little bit more); and Worry (are prices becoming too high)? It is worry that eventually leads to the panic that characterizes downtrends. We will look at bearish downtrends in the next issue of Chart Scan.

Trading Article: A Fresh Start
Have you ever been stuck in a rut? All you can think about is how "behind" you are, and how hard it will be to come back. Maybe you're thinking "I haven't made enough winning trades. What am I going to do? I'll never make it back."
It's natural to panic a little when you're first starting out as a trader. The anxiety and worry can get to you, but winning traders have a trick that you may find helpful: they compartmentalize their trades. They take things one trade at a time, and view each trade as a completely new opportunity. By focusing on their immediate experience, and staying fresh, they stay optimistic and full of energy.
There's a strong urge to contemplate the past and worry about the future. It seems wise to do so, but looking at your...read more.

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 is the creater 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.

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.
This newsletter and future publications are created to keep Master Trader Joe Ross' lessons readily available to traders that want to learn and improve their skills. Our father passed away on September 7, 2021 and will be greatly missed, but his writings will stand the test of time for generations to come. Take it to heart and learn from the best through Master Trader Joe Ross' trading examples and articles which have impacted thousands of traders on every continent for over 60 years.
Happy trading,
Martha Ross-Edmunds
