Implementing the Ross Hook into your Trading Style

"What you have in this book, dear reader, is a completely integrated trading methodology for the markets. Not one or two pieces of the puzzle, but rather the Big Picture. This allows the majority of you, for the first time, to become the artist rather than the canvas.  I firmly believe that Trading the Ross Hook is the best book ever written on the subject of profitably trading." ~ Dr. Bruce W. Roman

Using his discovery of the Ross Hook as the nucleus for his trading approach, Joe Ross goes beyond his admirable chart-reading abilities to include the pivotal, sine qua non of any successful business endeavor, money and trade management. In this book, Joe puts the light over the often-repeated, yet never operationally-defined trading axioms. Most notably these include, “Cut your losses and let your profits run,” and “Trade only with the trend.”

Trading The Ross Hook reveals Joe’s trading approach, which has enabled him to trade with very low risk, often much lower than you can imagine. It's the essence of almost 60 years of experience in trading. Most surprising of all this approach, which has kept him very safe in the markets, and has also been unusually profitable year in and year out.

It is with diligent study of the concepts presented in this book, that you will be able to incorporate what Joe shows you and make it a part of your way of trading, fitting in with your own style and comfort level.

Trading The Ross Hook Highlights and the Benefits You Receive:

Identifying the Ross Hook, the Trend and Congestions

You learn exactly what Ross Hooks are and see their origins and what causes them to occur. Joe shows you step-by-step how to correctly identify them as there are several “pointy” places on a chart, but not all of them are Ross Hooks. You will learn why Ross Hooks occur only in trending markets and also the conditions in which a Ross Hook is nullified.

Joe will give you the tools and the set of rules, according to which, you can clearly identify whether you are in a trend or in congestion. You will be amazed by these simple rules that have actually worked long before Joe started trading, and are still working today.

Trend Reversals

You will learn what the Reversal Ross Hooks are and how they can help you with spotting trend reversals. Joe has been using a method with great success for spotting a trend reversal by using additional filters. He will teach you the method in great detail, and you will learn the three conditions that must be met in order to enter a trade in the opposite direction of the initial trend.

The Traders Trick, Placing Objectives and Stop Loss Stops

In this module you will find out not only the purpose of The Traders Trick Entry and how you can benefit from it but also what made it so famous. The Traders Trick is designed to beat the insiders at their own game, or at the very least to create a level playing field on which you can trade. Trading is a business in which the more knowledgeable have the advantage over the less knowledgeable.

Joe will show you precisely how the insiders take advantage of what they know, but also the way in which you can profit from what they know, and do in the markets. Joe challenges you to think like you were a large operator, and you want to make the market move sufficiently for you to take a fat profit out of it. You will learn how markets are engineered by the market movers.

Once the market nears the high in an up-move, practically everyone wants to be in on this miraculous move, but this might be their most costly mistake. It is also very important to realize what may be happening when a market approaches a Ross Hook after having been in a congestion area for awhile. Joe will teach you the most insightful actions you can take in order to profit from both such situations. All these are illustrated with several charts as examples.

Filtering the Ross Hook in Several Ways

Joe teaches you how to get the overall picture of the markets. You will filter out many intraday trades simply because your view of the market shows you that there are better candidates for a winning trade somewhere else. The work necessary for conservative filtering is in itself a filter that you are going to incorporate in your trading style and routine.

Bottom line, you must select the best of the best trades in order to be successful in the markets. You will learn how to create your checklist that asks specific kinds of questions that prepares you for your trading day. Joe shows you various techniques for filtering, including usage of his famous Envelope but also some of the more popular studies like Stochastic and Bollinger Bands.

Money, Trade and Risk Management

Most traders lump together all these three notions as money management. They are actually separate entities and Joe will teach you how to treat them as such. You need to have a clear trade management strategy to know what kind of entry orders to use and how to place them. You will then learn how to place stop orders, both protective and objective, and your final exit order.

Joe will show you risk management strategies and tactics for covering costs, position sizing, and risk and loss minimization. You will know how to time your trade and what to expect from it. You will not lose more per contract than you can comfortably afford when trading the Ross Hook. You will be able to utilize the Ross Hook for day trading, position trading, swing trading or all three, regardless of the time frame you trade.

Words to the Wise

It is important to be realistic about your trading if you want to have a trading business. Joe emphasizes the importance of being properly capitalized and what exactly that means. Having access to intraday live data is also required but that is not all: you must also accommodate your time and your life style for trading.

Chapter after chapter, and example after example, show you how his students are successfully trading Ross hooks using simple studies that can be found in most trading software packages. Then you see how Joe personally trade hooks, using chart reading, without technical indicators or technical analysis of any kind.

► Table of Contents

"This is by far the best book I've read about trading. And I have many books by some of the best known, so-called "experts". The author takes you step by step through a trading methodology called the "Ross Hook". There is no "fluff". Only real life, usable information. I really learned a lot from reading the sections on trade management. What an eye opener! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is tired of all the hype and misleading advertising that is done in this industry, and wants a real trading system to work with. It is very refreshing to read a book on trading that actually shows you, in precise detail, how to trade. Forget about vague and general "rules". You will learn techniques that you can take to the bank!” ~ Mark H.

"The question I am most consistently asked is "Where do I put the stop?" Therefore, this eBook is about stop placement. Most trading books and articles you read concentrate on entry. This book concentrates on exit. Knowing when to get out of a trade is vastly more important than is getting into a trade."  ~ Joe Ross

If you place your stop a certain number of ticks or pips distant from your entry point, or a certain distance from your entry using a percentage basis, you probably are placing your stop in the wrong place. If you place your stop a certain dollar amount from your entry, below "support," above "resistance," or based on a chart pattern, we know you are upside-down in stop placement. Please believe us, there are much better ways! Joe Ross wrote this eBook "Stopped Out" in order to show you four specialized ways for stop placement. Every single one of them is based on reality. Your stops will rarely be where everyone else puts theirs. Your stops will be unique to you, based on your personal risk tolerance, in conjunction with the risk in the market.

One very important thing: the techniques contained in this eBook apply to all markets — stocks, futures, forex, bonds, contracts for difference, spread-betting, and derivatives, regardless of where they are traded, or by which means they are traded. Like everything else we offer, this material is top quality and is profusely illustrated with charts in order to save thousands of words.

Highlights

Exit Stops that Make No Sense

You don’t need to become angry if you have used a kind of stop placement method that makes no sense, just avoid using it in the future! We demonstrate with charts why nonsensical stops will only get you into trouble.

Famous trading advisories tell traders to use a 25% stop loss. Others tell traders to use a 15% stop loss. Why? We‘ve heard traders say something like the following: "I always place my stop 15 units away from my entry." But why? Other traders say "I will risk $300 on a trade."  But really, why $300? Yet other traders place their stops above resistance, or beneath support. Have you ever seen prices drop through support like a steel ball in a vacuum? Haven‘t you ever seen prices shoot up through resistance like a rocket on its way to the moon?

Stop placement must take into consideration the realities of the markets. It also has to take into consideration your financial tolerance for loss. In this book, discover ways to allow the market itself to tell you where to place the stop. More than that, the market itself can give you an amount that fits your financial tolerance for loss.

Sensible Exit Stops

You will learn about three specialized exit stops which can be used for your initial stop loss as well as for trailing stops. They all take into consideration the dynamics of the markets. You will also be introduced to a stop technique that enables you to stay in a long-term trend much longer than most traders dare stay in.

We'll show you a wonderful and accurate method for stop placement that can be used from as little as a one-minute chart to a monthly chart, and every conceivable time frame in between. You will learn a stop technique that enables you to successfully stay in medium-term trends and swings. It is a truly powerful stop placement method which is fully adjustable to your personal risk tolerance.

A Method for Staying with a Long-Term Trend

This chapter goes into a method for staying with a long-term trend even during the time of a major retracement. How long? It can be 1 month, 6 months, or up to ten years. How many traders do you know who have ridden a trend for 10 years?

One of the great lessons of trading is that you "can‘t have your cake and eat it, too". If you want to be a long-term trader using this tool, you accept the trade-off that, by keeping you in a trade for a longer time than most traders would normally endure, you give up being able to exit closer to the extreme level of the move that prices make. You learn the lesson of giving up the first and last 10% of a major move, and being happy with the rest of the 80%.

A Unique Method to Optimize Taking the Available Profits

The idea of exiting a winning trade in a timely manner is basic to success. After all, if you can't take the money off the table while it is there, you cannot succeed at trading. However, not all traders have the mental and emotional discipline to exit a trade on time, so this method offers a technically based method for stop placement.

A Method that Uses Volatility to Your Greatest Advantage

There will be no more guessing with this tool, because you will know exactly which time frame to be in. It will even tell when you shouldn’t trade at all. It keeps you out of markets and time frames you should avoid.

You’ll discover the settings Joe uses for this pure volatility indicator, but you are free to choose your own. With this stop placement technique, you will be able to personalize both your risk and your objective for every trade. That’s true! Imagine yourself being able to not only fine-tune your stops, but being able to fine-tune your objectives as well.

A Comprehensive Stop Placement / Trade Management Device - "The proof is in the pudding"

You will discover the most comprehensive stop placement/trade management device you have ever seen. It was created for our own use. Before trading, wouldn't you like to know exactly what your chances of winning?

You learn how to create your very own worksheet with which you can see how your own trading implementations are working. Once you get the feel of the work done to produce the worksheet, your understanding of how to manage risk, stop placement, and objectives will skyrocket.

We give you full exposure to how we use this trade management worksheet to trade 46 real trades in the euro. You will see how he sets up and organizes the necessary data, and then we'll show you what you should include in yours.
