About Us:

Our Mission

Our Mission is to teach you everything you need to know to achieve your financial goals by becoming a successful TRADER. All our policies and activities are aimed towards that one goal. It is our mission:

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 mind set and self-control.
To accomplish our mission for our students, we will educate them so that they know and understand:

Where prices are likely to move next
Why prices will move there
Who and what causes prices to move
How far prices are likely to move when they do move
Their own role in the movement of prices
How to take advantage of the knowledge they receive
How to properly manage a trade which they have entered
How to manage themselves, and acquire the discipline needed to become successful trade

Joe Ross

Chairman of the Board of Trading Educators, Inc., Joe Ross began his trading career in the commodity futures markets in 1957. Since then Joe Ross has been a trader, author, educator, and businessman.

In 1988, Joe formed Trading Educators to train aspiring traders in the futures, bonds, and currency markets. Since 1988, Joe has written seven major texts on futures trading. All have become classics. In 1989, in addition to private tutoring, Joe began giving seminars and writing Trader’s Notebook, a teaching newsletter to keep his students apprised of new trading techniques and global situations that can affect the markets.

Although Joe’s career has centered mostly on futures trading, and in recent years more particularly on day trading stock index futures and on spread trading, he has also been a successful trader in the stock market and has written four books on electronic stock trading. In fact, many active and successful stock market traders have used Joe’s books and methods on their way to becoming profitable. As Joe likes to say, “A market is a market, and a chart is a chart. Given those two and a way to enter an order, a trader should be able to earn his money.”

Joe 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.

Joe still tutors, teaches, writes, and trades regularly. He is an active and integral part of Trading Educators.
