 Welcome, this is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh, and I'm doing a Golden Gap course, Father's Day Special. Father's Day is next weekend, so this is for everyone, but especially for all the dads out there. I do have a lot of dads that are trading with me on the Gap Options newsletter, and of course in the live trading room, dads love to trade. So let's go over it. If you have questions, you can email me at MelissaBestockSwoosh.com. You can also call me at 929-3200 Gap. You can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or Skype. So 2022 has actually been a great time to trade. If you have not been doing well this year, then you're not doing the right thing. It's been a year of volatility, and lots of big moves. We had a big move in the market yesterday. We got it perfect timing. We were already short the market. It fell off the cliff. It's been a great year to train, not just this year because of the volatility, but specifically in the live room, and also on the options newsletter, we've had a string of winning trades and winning weeks that is really totaled quite a nice start to the year, considering the fact that we're not just half, we're not even halfway through the year. It's not the end of June yet. So I'm really excited about to see what the second half of 2022 brings. So the Golden Gap Course Father's Day special is going on through Father's Day, which is Sunday, June 19th. And it will include, you sign up for the Golden Gap Course. You will receive the Gap Options newsletter through Labor Day, the live trading room through Labor Day, three one-hour mentoring sessions, one-on-one with me. You could, we could do it in the room. We could do it on Skype. A lot of people like to do Skype, so we share the screen and talk back and forth. The Golden Gap Course tuition is $69.99. Everyone pays the same. You will receive these bonuses if you sign up by Father's Day. It gives you a chance to trade options, day trade, see the room, and also get help from me after the class if you need it, and if you wanna review some things. So email me at Melissa, thestockswish.com. If you wanna sign up, you can start the live trading room and get on the options letter before the class. You can start as soon as you sign up. The class is June 25th and 26th. So obviously, if you sign up, for example, Monday, you can be in the room for two weeks before the class. Let's talk a little bit about trading. I get this question a lot. How much money should I risk? How much money should I risk per trade? What does he expect to return an investment? Listen, when I look at a trade, I get up in the morning. I never know what I'm doing before I get up. I look at the gap and then I will determine what I wanna do based on the 26 points. That's the system you're gonna learn in the Golden Gap Course. For me, you have to take risk when you trade. People need to understand that. When I day trade, I use a stop. When I do an option, I do not use a stop. Why? Because you can't lose more than you risk in the actual trade. It is about taking calculated risk, calculated risk, which means if I get a gap that rates 20 points or more per my 26 point rating system, then I wanna do it. Otherwise, I don't. I don't feel like it's worth the risk. Do you understand? So all trading involves risk. That's the only way you're gonna make any money. And you have to be willing to take risk if you wanna trade. There's risk involved in signing up for a class like mine because you don't know the information and you never will until you do the class and take it. Very successful class last month and people are doing well this month and it's really actually getting into this time of the year where right before earning season, we're gonna be super-duper busy, which begins in July. As far as the percentage that people are looking for, I say one to one. Getting back to what I was saying earlier, people say how much percentage of my account, it depends on the size of your account. For example, if you have an account size of a million dollars, I would not say risk 1% in a trade. That would be $10,000. That's too much in my opinion to risk in a day trade. So it really has to do with the size of your account, your comfort level and how much you know, your knowledge. If you've been in the room and you've been in the options let it for six months or 12 months or more, you know the system, you understand the system. You fully understand it by that point. If you're brand new, I say start out small. And again, what are we looking for? Expected returns, we're looking for one to one. But I'll take 50% actually in an option. And sometimes half of it in a day trade. So again, sometimes you have a target, it goes close to the target. And I get out because what? I wanna get out of the trade soon, quick. Five minutes, 10 minutes in a day trade. It's not quite at the target. I'm up money, boom, I'm out. So again, this is a benefit of being in the live room. I'm calling the entries in the room, the exits in the room, the targets in the room. We go over all of that in the morning. Let's take a look at CVX. This has been a nice chart, beautiful chart. Again, this is Trevor on oil. Oil's been raging up, made a brand new all-time hide the other day. It's just one of these charts that has been so beautiful to trade. And again, can be a little bit whippy if you do it as a day trade. Although we have day traded this some days. Here's the run up and I called this trade on, it was the 30, no, it was Wednesday. Wednesday, May 25th, I called the 175 calls that expired on the third. Wednesday, May 25th was here. So again, called the 175s, run up, boom. This was a gap up here. Usually the big trades, the trades that we do that are really big trades, what happens? The bottom line is it goes in your direction overnight in the gap. So in this case here, it was a call. So it was a bullish move, it was a long. The chart ran up, like I said, made new highs. If you're in something like a short, which would be an option to be a putt, you would want it to be looking for a gap down in your direction or a big red move. Now this was a long note. So the cost was pretty reasonable. I thought 325, number of contracts was 25, risk was 81, 25 for an advanced trader risk. Your risk should be the same or close to the same on every trade you take. And again, you could take one contract and risk $325. If that's gonna be your risk on every trade, 300, 300, 300, you have to decide. Profit was $6,375, returning investment, 78%. Beginner risk, three contracts, 975, sold, 580. Profit, 765, returning investment, 78%. I always get this question. Is this the maximum, maximum, maximum amount that you could have made on the trade? No. That's totally unrealistic. No one should be striving for that. You will fail and lose if you're striving for that. Why? Because by the time the trade moves against you, you've given back profit unnecessarily in my opinion. You have targets, you watch them, you have returning investment percentages, and you can put an order out to fill you if you can't watch it if you're busy working. My goal is to make money. Your goal is to make money. That's it. I look for the perfect gap and I try to get the perfect entry if I can, but I always do not get the perfect exit because that's impossible. It's impossible. And you will give back more money trying to get the perfect exit over and over and over again and get beat up doing it. Your goal is to make money. The difference between 78%, 81%, 85%, it's negligible people. By the time something's done making the move, it goes, pooh, and then it's done. Like here, actually this is a good example. Well, no, I'll just show you this one here by the time this happened. I mean, this is what I'm saying. Like this actually reversed on this day. That this particular trade has a good example actually. So again, you see it, you have a set target, you take the trade, you're up, you get the move, you get out. You take it, you're up, you get the move, you get out. It's chunk it, it's chunk it out. Chunk it, chunk it, chunk it. I'm calling a lot of trades in the room. I'm calling a lot of trades in the day trading letter. You'll do another trade, I'll call another trade. Trust me, I will. So again, eating out every squeeze and every penny is gonna work against you. Actually, and this trade, like I said in the chart, you could see that the way it reversed. Anyways, getting back to dads. There are many reasons dads trade. Extra money on the side, full time. You could be retired, wanna trade, make extra money while you're retired. People are working full time, but they can work from home now, many people. So they are trading while they're home in the morning. It doesn't matter if you're doing options or day trades, you can do both. And this is a nice special, like I said, for Father's Day, because it gives you the ability to be able to be in the room and do options and see which one you like or if you wanna do both. But summer is a good time to trade gaps. And this is nice because why? Weather's great, beautiful weather we're having in New York today. You can go outside in the afternoon and go to the pool, go to the beach, smoke off and my father's a great golfer. He loves to golf. So summer is a great time to trade gaps. We get the moons in the morning. And again, if you're in options, you're still in them, put a sell order. And if it hits you, it's a limit order. If not, if it doesn't hit you, it cancels at the end of the day. So you don't have to sit and stare at a screen all day from 9.30 to four if you're trading my method on gaps. That is a plus. That is a positive of trading my method. We're looking for the quick move, the fast move in the morning and the day trades. And I was talking about this before, no piggy targets, your goal is to make money, cash, cash, cash, chunk it out, chunk it out. Like you were saving in a piggy bank, one penny, two penny, three penny, a dime. This is not about having some huge trade that's gonna get you back all the losses you ever had before you encountered me because I know what I'm doing with this whole trading thing. This is about moving forward, taking the steps, learning the system, learning the method and moving forward starting fresh and new from here. That's what it's all about. Anyways, you can also work from home, nice job. You can do it from an office too, but if you wanna be a full-time trader, you have to start somewhere. The most important thing is to learn what to do. That's why taking the class is essential and every single person that's in the live trading room has taken the Golden Gap course. That is a prerequisite. Now, what will you learn in the Golden Gap course? You will learn the Golden Gap 26 point checklist. Boom, boom, boom. I go through the checklist every morning in the room. I'm rating the gaps. That's the benefit of being there. I also call the market, which I do very well. But you will learn it. You will learn everything in the class to do everything by yourself. You don't even have to be in the room if you don't want to. You get the free time through Labor Day, but you don't have to be in the room after that. You can do it on your own. Some people do it on their own. Some people like being in the room. So it's up to you. Again, the Golden Gap course will teach you the 26 point rating system, all of the entries that I do, exits, targets, all of it. So the class for June is June 25th and 26th. Don't miss out. This is the only class for June. The next class is more than a month away from this. So again, I usually do classes once a month, but summer is busy for me between vacations, holidays, TV, things I have going on. You want to make sure you get in. This is the class you would want to do before earnings season begins in July. Earning season is a busy time to trade. Why? A lot of stocks gap on earnings. So we get a lot of trades and a big moves. And that's really good for not only the day trades, but the options newsletter too. The class tuition is $69.99. The class is online. Email me at melissathestockswush.com if you want to sign up. And again, to review, the Golden Gap course Father's Day special is you sign up for the Golden Gap course by Sunday, June 19th, which is Father's Day. I'm giving people a week to decide if they want to sign up. You must email me for four forms. Do not wait to the last minute. And actually, if you want to get this week's trades, you won't wait to the last minute because I suspect we will have some good ones even this coming week. You get the Gap Options newsletter through Labor Day, September 5th, the trading room free through Labor Day through September 5th, and three one-hour mentoring sessions with me in the remorseless sky. And again, we can plan them and set them up before the class or after the class. The course tuition is $69.99. Sale ends Father's Day, June 19th. If you'd like to sign up, you must email me for the forms. The forms are not on the website. Any questions, feel free to email me too. Again, have a great weekend, everyone. It's been beautiful weather here in New York. I love summer and stay safe.
