Book Description

September 1, 1995
Trading Spreads and Seasonals is a powerful, profit enhancing trading course based on Joe Ross' years of personal trading experience and remarkable trading success.

These days, it seems most traders are focused on outright futures or options trading strategies. You hardly ever hear of anyone who trades spreads or seasonal spreads, or outright seasonal futures - especially at the same time! That's because very few futures traders truly understand seasonality. This is why far too many never earn all they can from trading. Worse than that, they end up losing money.

Fortunately, Trading Spreads and Seasonals changes all that. It stacks the odds of winning in your favor. How? By giving you a complete explanantion of how to crack the markets using a novel approach that combines explosive profit potential of futures with seasonally measured risk. Plus you learn to protect yourself from the vagaries of market price action that serve to turn winning trades into losers.

You'll find out just what to look for before you enter a trade, such as how to spot trends that will affect you positively where it counts, your trading account. You will not only learn how to hedge your risk, but how to use it to explode your profits in a steady pattern of equity growth! You'll see which markets to avoid and which trades to avoid. You'll know when to get in and, MORE IMPORTANTLY, when to get out. Trading Spreads and Seasonals does it simply, without all the technical mumo-jumbo and mathmatical formulas of other approches.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the Meat?, August 19, 2003
This review is from: Trading Spreads and Seasonals (Hardcover)
I think Joe did an excellent job of describing what seasonal/seasonal spreads are, but gave me little in the way of new ideas for trading them, or new research into spreads that really work. Most traders would be much better off with a subscription to Moore Research if they already know they would like to trade futures in this manner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for trading Seasonal Spreads., November 6, 2001
This review is from: Trading Spreads and Seasonals (Hardcover)
Here is the thing that makes Ross's book particularly outstanding. When we trade spreads, the only data we can use is the closing price. The exchanges do not report the intraday ranges of spreads.

Ross's book is the best one for explaining how to use close only charts for trading. Its very simple, cuts out tons of useless noise many indicators thrive on.

Ross gives a good introduction to this high profit, low risk Speculation arena.

Ross explains how to use an indicator to filter spread trades, You may find that Stochastics works better. Ross principles are the same.

Assuming you did your homework with Reminiscences, Ross's book and some up to date seasonal Spread charts is all you need to make your first winning trade.

Ross offers an easy-to-read guide teaching traders how to use historically consistent trading patterns to capitalize on the opportunities offered by seasonal spread trading.

Joe covers how to find trades, filter them using technical indicators, how to place orders and manage your spread trade after entry.

When you make some profits, read the rest of the available spread books. Buy books when you are winning!

1.0 out of 5 stars NOTHING NEW, October 27, 2003
By 
This review is from: Trading Spreads and Seasonals (Hardcover)
Unfortunately nothing new at all: Bollinger Bands, RSI and typical chart patterns. Unprofessional lay out, a lot of unused space and many peripatetic explanations. Maybe some ideas for absolute beginners. I will short this book and rather spend the money on a new Harry Potter novel.
