 Welcome, this is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm doing an end of summer options package for those of you that have been interested in trading options with me. This is a great chance for you to get on board, start trading, start getting the options, newsletter trades and then also take two classes which we will be discussing here what's included. Hard to believe it's the end of summer, shocking actually. But if you're interested in signing up for this, you can email me at melissathestockswoosh.com. You can call me at 929-3200 Gap. You can follow me at Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. So the end of summer special is going on right now because it's halfway through August. We got two more weeks and then summer is over. Cannot even believe that we're almost at Labor Day. I feel like this year has gone very fast before you know it will be the holidays and that's just how time flies. So we're into the end of earnings season now but it's going to be a busy fall time and actually we've had a busy month considering we're at the end of earnings season. We've had gaps for news and for those of you that don't know what I do, I trade gaps. So the options trades that I do, we do cause inputs are based on momentum in the gap. So the special is if you sign up for the Gap Options News at our annual subscription which is 12 months normally for $69.99, you will get special bonuses. The bonuses include the trends course in October, it's October 3rd, the Gap Options course which is in September, the September 21st and four bonus months of the newsletter because I'm going to give you the newsletter for the same price as 12 months until the end of 2024. So you get one year and then you would also get, it's actually four and a half months, you get September, October, November, December and if you sign up today for example you would get four and a half months, you get the rest of August. So you get 12, 16 months, 16 and a half months if you sign up today for the price of 12 and then two free classes. This special package is going on through August 25th, however I wouldn't wait to sign up. I had a gentleman that signed up yesterday for the options newsletter and he's already making money today in trade. So the longer you wait to sign up you're going to miss the trades we're doing right now and the market's moving, we're having momentum in the market. We happen to have done puts today but again I will do calls. So it's very, very interesting times, very, very interesting times. So love the momentum, love the volatility as long as you know how to play it. You can make money in the market. So this options package is going on through the 25th. As far as understanding what to do, it makes a big difference if you know what to do versus not knowing what to do even if you're in the trade. So you could size yourself right, you could take the trade, you could believe in it up to the point where you're down. When the trade starts reversing against you then you can lose conviction if you don't know what to do. One of the reasons that I'm very good at what I do in calling trades is not only seeing what's going to happen in the future predicting it based on the gap reading which I do in the pre-market but it's also that I have conviction to hold a trade even when I'm down believing in it because I understand what's going on in the chart and that's the big difference between what I do and a lot of people do that even teach people how to trade and there are many people out there that do lots and lots of different things but the fact is if you understand what to do and you really have the knowledge base you're going to do a heck of a lot better than just following somebody's trades but you know I people in the newsletter actually that have never taken any of my classes and they're still making money so it's your call. Today's a good example though we did the market which rally today so we were short the market and it rally rallied all morning and then it dropped held on held on held the conviction held the whole thing if you didn't understand what to do you might have killed the trade. It's important to have conviction otherwise you're going to get chopped up in the market and again for those of you that don't know what I do I trade the gap market close here get down rallied this was the morning we fell off late I mean late morning I should say end of the afternoon but today was a day to short yesterday was a day to short for the so far for the month of August we've been shorting quite a lot and the shorts have been working again we buy puts which is a short and if you don't know how to short you're going to have a hard time with the market turns from now until the rest of the year you've been going along all year every dip and buying support and you don't know how to short you're not going to have a good close to 2023 you need to know how to do both sides of the trade but I do prefer to short the one of the reasons I prefer to short is because like like you know we've seen since the beginning of August is short moves and sell offs can happen very very quickly and fast panic can come in quickly twist off of the market and so you got to be able to take it available of that opportunity now I put this in here even though these are the day trades these are not the option stats I'm going to do another PowerPoint for the option stats here today but 2023 this is with an average risk of $2,800 per trade through today we're at 406.727 for the year these are day trades trades on margin that I called in the room and I'm just showing you this is a risk that is a good amount of money that you could risk you could risk per options trade for example three grand two grand $1,000 is a good risk I have people in the newsletter risking 500 per trade so when people reach out to me today they ended up getting out of the puts today they were up more than they had risked and they are 100% they got out so that is really your call how much you want to risk these are day trades on margin and again if you can't open up a margin account and you want to trade options you can open up a cash account and trade options this was a good one I actually didn't put this trade in here but we did the PayPal I called this and this just took forever to go I'm really glad I did this trade but it broke off and went yesterday again a great example of selling we did put some PayPal we did puts but they didn't they didn't go really until yesterday so the thing is that selling can happen quick selling can happen fast selling can happen at a nowhere you could have made a little bit of money before yesterday but the fact is the trade the profit was getting pushed getting in this on this day we just look up here when did I call that because I forget I want to say it was let me just look here one second I want to try to find show you on this chart here when I called that it feels like it was a while ago yeah it was the ninth boom so that took its good old song and dance time so I called the 62 puts I think some people got out of it here which you could have but this was the money this was the money right in there again trading momentum momentum momentum momentum and you if you were in it you were still up today I didn't see where that closed but it would still would have been up today it was way through the strike if you come and you want to learn what I do or trade options with me you will know that we're always trading the gap so what is a gap a gap is different to the close and he opens stops gap most every single day in the market but not every gap is a good gap or what I call a golden gap I'm looking for gaps that are predictable how do I do that I use my gap rating system where are you going to learn the gap rating system in the golden gap course you will not learn the rating system in the gap options course of the trends course so the trends course you are going to learn long-term trends that's important for options trading it's actually also important for swing trading and day trading in the gap options course you're going to learn about options and that's going to help you a lot for the options newsletter but the strategy to meet potatoes the 26 points is in the golden gap course that's a two-day class and that's coming up actually this weekend August 19th and 20th the options class and the trends class are two half-day courses which are going to start you help you launch you into the program this is a good way to start doing it and then of course you can start getting the options trades right away is on the newsletter they get emailed to you in live time and you can start trading the targets are in the newsletter and again follow the targets or if you can't watch the trades you put a sell order right after you get into it buy the option put a sell order at 50% ROI as soon as you buy it it's a day order it's a can it'll cancel you out if you're busy you can't watch now if you can watch I suggested you watch for the targets Apple was another good one that we did feels like this was a while ago too close your gap down rally fell that was August 4th fell then the next day on the Monday the 7th and you could have done this with one contract I do have people that are taking one contract it's up to you depends how big your account is if you only have $2,000 in your account you could risk $175 on a trade that would have been one contract in this apple so the cost was $175 this for the 185 puts that expired on the 11th again I sent this email out you cannot do the trade until the market opens but you're ready to go prepped know what we're looking at you can estimate the cost but you gotta wait till it opens 50 contracts risk was 8750 sold at 750 huge profit based on the risk 329% return investment so again 28,750 I'm risking a lot more in my options and day trades but either way you could have risked half this you could have taken one like I said still made over 300% and you could have been in this actually to the last day 3450 on a risk of 1050 this is these the kind of trades that can make your account if you have a small account but this is six contracts beautiful trade I tell people chunk it out why it's a busy letter lots of trades called today and lots of trades called the last week being one at a time being two at a time when you take one get out get in the next one chunk it out chunk it chunk it chunk it if you have a small account you need to do this if you've been losing money trading with some other program get on board with my program start making money take it slow this gives you plenty of time again you're getting to the end of 2024 with one price of 6999 and two classes free so take your time with it again risk $500 that's enough to make money you could have taken a couple contracts of that apple but it's all about financial independence for people right now because people are trying to figure out where they're going to get more money coming in because inflation even though they talk about it coming down we're still in very high levels of inflation specifically food gas housing and I don't know if those things are going to change anytime soon I mean I almost wonder if we need it we need a housing market crash for that to change but think about it don't drown in the market by trading it alone being on a newsletter being in a group like mine will help support you you can call me on the phone you can ask me questions you could always do that and if you want to join the live room you have to take the golden gap course but that's something that a lot of people end up doing after they're starting to trade options they trade the options on the inside they prove to themselves the program is working they realize the program is working and then they start making money and then they end up signing up for the class and then they end up joining the room so that has been a path for a lot of people that have started out trading options and they've gravitated then towards wanting to learn the big class and then trading in the room if you want to work for yourself that is the best thing you can possibly do if you're an independent minded person but if you're someone that needs structure and you have trouble with that structure then you're better off working for somebody else it everybody has a different type of personality we can't all work for ourselves I think the nice thing about trading is you can do trading on the side if you have an independent streak and you want to test it out for yourself keep your full-time job work for someone else and trade in the side do options on the side you put the orders on in the day check it it's a way to make extra money you still have to take it seriously but you're not a hundred percent on your own and again you have the support of talking to me if you need me and the classes really help a lot but if you want to go through and learn my system you will learn it in the golden gap course this is a two-day class the big class it's august 19th and 20th if you want to do upcoming dates email me i'll tell you upcoming dates this is where you'll learn the 26-point checklist in the golden gap course actually here i have the next date september 30th and october 1st 9 to 5 class tuition is 69.99 or you could sign up for the class this weekend i still have spots available classes online it could be anywhere in the world and take it and then the trends course is october 3rd which again you're going to get free with the options package golden gap combo includes the trends with the golden gap 74.99 these are the fall dates and again that is this is a while for now so the next golden gap course if you don't do this this date in august is for more than a month away so that's something to consider now like i was talking about learning how to short is going to be very very important in this market it has been this month i think it's going to continue to be into the fall so the best thing you can do for yourself is to learn what to do and understand shorting and of course we buy puts which are shorts so the gap options course like i said is september 21st 11 to 3 class tuition for this is 29.99 separate if you don't want to do the 69.99 package special this class is online and you get two months free of the options newsletter with this class but this is a good deal it's going on through august 25th giving people a week's notice if they want to sign up i wouldn't wait so you can start to get the trains again classes are in september and october and you get the newsletter until the end of 2024 if you're interested email me and
