Chart Scan with Commentary:  Wedges

Once in a while I have a longing for the old "geometrical" ways of trading, which for some are still the best ways for trading. What I will show you incorporates the Law of Charts, but it does so while answering a question I received in the mail: "What is a bullish descending wedge pattern?"  While I'm at it, I'll show you a bearish ascending wedge.

Joe Ross shares trading success with a wedge example trading education

As you can see, the wedge has grown increasingly narrow.  Of course, where to begin drawing the wedge is somewhat in the eye of the beholder.  I could have drawn the lower line from the May low (dotted line), and I could have gone way back to the high that occurred in previous November (not shown). I think you get the idea.  The interesting thing is that as the wedge has narrowed, we see the beginning of what may turn out to be a 1-2-3 low. If I had room (I don't') I could also show you that from a technical point of view there is a rising trend line on MACD, indicating divergence.

The next chart shows a narrowing rising wedge. Amazingly, this stock had been trading at 300 times earnings! It stubbornly resisted the forces of gravity until recently, when it formed a 1-2-3 high. Will there be more selling ahead?  Will the descent be severe?  It will be interesting to find out. But at least now you know what the old-timers called ascending and descending wedges.  To make money out of these still requires good management. It is always challenging to see some traders make money from a trade while some traders lose money from the very same trade.

Trading Article:  Can You Trust Your Intuition?

I am to some extent an intuitive trader. I suppose there are some who are much more intuitive than I am, and some who are less so.

I'm convinced that most people who begin trading think of it in purely mathematical terms. If the ultimate multiple regression equation could be devised, one could simply put in the inputs and get the outputs. And the outputs could be used to forecast the markets. The general assumption seems to be that the markets can be predicted in much the same way that engineers can use equations to construct a bridge. Being able to predict the future seems to have always been a quest of mankind. But the markets are far too inconsistent and too complex to fit any...read more.

Trading Article:  A True Passion for Trading

I believe that to be a truly successful trader you have to have a true passion for trading. This is probably true for any field of endeavor. I believe that the people who do best are not primarily motivated by fame, glory, respect, or status. They are driven by the pure love of the what they do. Winning traders, similarly, have strong interests in the markets, and this passion is the driving force that puts them at the top, year after year.

However, many wannabe traders come to the markets having...read more.

Ambush Traders Again in a Gold-Rush: Catching Reversals in the Gold Market

One of the top markets over the last couple of months for Ambush Traders has been the gold market. Whether it's the Gold Future, Micro-Future, or XAU/USD forex pair, Ambush Traders are in a crazy gold rush!

Here's a daily chart of the Gold Future (GC, 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, either consolidate or trend slowly. Notice how many major reversal points Ambush was able to catch during this time (marked on the chart). Add to that the small profits in between and you get lots of happy Ambush Traders!

 

Marco Mayer shares trading success with Ambush Signals example trading education

 

Here are the results of these trades, trading only one Gold Future (GC) contract:

 

Marco Mayer shares trading success with Ambush Signals example trading education

Yup, that's almost $20k profits with almost no drawdowns in between within just a couple of months! Looking at the statistics you can see that we got a profit factor of over 3 and the maximum drawdown was just about 20% of the profit!

Marco Mayer shares trading success with Ambush Signals example trading education

Now the Gold Future is a large contract and not suitable for small accounts. But you can do these trades also in the E-Micro Gold which is just 1/10 the size or the XAU/USD forex pair.

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 Gold 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!

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.

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.  My 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,

Joe Ross' daughter Martha Ross-Edmunds
