“AMBUSH” A MARKET OF YOUR CHOICE
Ambush stock index futures, commodity futures, currency futures, forex pairs, or CFDs across global markets.
Systematic trader Marco Mayer, our in-house quant specialist, created a safer and simpler way to trade a wide range of instruments with the potential for consistent gains. The Ambush Trading Method™, introduced in 2009, has proven reliable across multiple market environments—not just in historical testing, but also in live forward performance.
Markets supported include:
-
Futures: Stock Index, Commodity, Currency, and Interest Rates
-
Spot Forex Markets
-
CFDs on all supported markets (results can differ depending on broker quotes)
Ambush works with daily charts, meaning you don’t need to monitor the screen constantly. Once the market opens, you simply place your entry limit order along with a protective stop, then continue your day. All trades close on the same day they are opened, avoiding overnight risk. Depending on your broker, this can significantly reduce margin requirements.
“Of the many ways to trade I’ve seen over the years, I have never seen a more stable way to take profitable gains from the market.”
— Master Trader Joe Ross
Understanding the Ambush Method
At its core, Ambush is straightforward. As breakout trading on daily charts became less effective, Marco sought a way to take advantage of this shift. The challenge was entering the market when other traders are caught in losing positions—and profiting as they are forced to exit.
In short, Ambush allows you to “ambush” traders entering at statistically poor spots. When their positions fail, they must exit or even reverse, driving the market in your favor.
This makes Ambush a short-term counter-trend strategy. While it doesn’t oppose the broader trend that may run for weeks, it targets short-term intraday reversals where odds favor a pullback. Because it’s based on daily charts, you don’t need to sit in front of the markets—yet you can still capture meaningful intraday moves.
Simple Rules
Ambush is not a black-box algorithm. You receive the full set of trading rules, enabling you to understand and apply the method confidently.
The rules outline exactly:
-
Where to set your limit entry order
-
Where to place your protective stop-loss
-
When to exit the position
Exits are simple: there’s no profit target, and the stop is only a “catastrophic” stop. This avoids the common pitfall of over-optimizing exits.
You’ll also gain access to a private member area with updated market suggestions and parameters. Adjustments are designed to maintain robustness rather than overfitted performance. This approach provides an added advantage across different markets while applying the same core method.
Because markets evolve, the team reviews 2–3 times a year to add new markets to the tradeable list.
Performance Reports for the Ambush Trading Method™
The chart example with Australian Dollar Futures shows just one snapshot of Ambush trades in a single market. While results in that period were excellent, performance naturally varies over time.
Although you can trade Ambush on a single market, it works best across multiple markets. Diversification reduces drawdowns and produces more stable, long-term outcomes.
What You Need
To apply Ambush, you only need:
-
Daily charting software for your chosen market
-
Two standard indicators, available in most platforms:
-
ATR (Average True Range)
-
RSI (Relative Strength Index)

“I have been trading using the Ambush method since August 2014. I have mainly been trading the 3 currencies – 6A Australian Dollar, 6C Canadian Dollar and 6E the Euro. For the last 5 months of 2014 I was making consistent profits on a monthly basis. Trading only 1 lot I averaged a profit of about $2500 a month!
In 2015 due to the euro-crisis and other events Ambush so far has been in a drawdown in two of the three currencies I’m trading but I’m confident that once the markets calm down again, Ambush will perform like it did last year. But being the conservative trader that I am, and knowing that drawdowns are normal trading any method, I decided to stay on the sidelines for now to protect my capital…still overall for me the profits so far by far exceed the losses I experienced during the drawdown!”

“I like the ambush trading method, it controls the draw downs which I have experienced with it, while also regaining the loses and making money.”
~ R.A., U.S.
“The method looks like it is a great one! Is the first time during my 4 years trading experience that I actually made some money!! The only important issue is that it needs to be done everyday in my experience, or to put it better, the order needs to be there everyday, because missing an important big money trade in the month can make the difference with the Ambush; this is what happened to me, when i started putting the orders daily, my account began growing slowly!”
~ Alberto, Italy
