 Welcome this is Melissa Armo with a stock swash and I'm reviewing year-to-date 2019 So we're almost at the end of the third month of the year first quarter of the year and Well, this is a very interesting year because in starting 2019 the market rallied at the end of last year and is almost rallied straight up Through the better part of the beginning part of this year So market has not had really that much of a volatile year so far to start However, that being said, I think that it does going forward because so many people now are going to start to jump in and think bullish bullish bullish And even though the market is bullish don't expect necessarily that it's going to be straight up from now until the end of time So I think that's what tends to fool people So some of these trains are short summer longs. Let's go over them Again, these are the day trades only not the options trades that will do a separate tracking for that So this is an advanced trader risk. You can risk an advanced amount. You can risk a beginner amount It's whatever you can afford if you would like to ask me about that with the size of your account feel free So tracking so far year-to-date 73,630. Let's go over it If you have any questions you can email me at melissa at thestockswish.com or call me at 9 to 9 3200 gap Follow me on twitter facebook youtube or skype So it is coming up the next earnings season starts in april. It's the end of march It's not earning season right now. There's sporadic earnings here and there But for the most part earning season is a time where there you can make a lot of money When most stocks report earnings apple amazon google all the things that you know of that move the market They have big moves too And so most of the stocks that we're doing in the room really are things that you would know That you've heard of companies things that you buy products and services from Let's take a look at it So off the first part of the year in january spy first trade was a loser second one winner Sometimes i do a retake i teach that in the class Then closed i was sick in january lulu was a winner netflix was a really nice winner in the 15th SIG was a loser then second trade and third trade were winners in SIG AXP was a loser on the 18th and the Q's was a winner on the 18th Market closed at 21st swk was a beautiful gap and the 22nd cof was a good one NKC was a loser qq Q's was a winner starbucks was a winner small one on the 25th Cat was a winner. That was a nice gap too The 29th gme was a winner solid move And then the 30th t first trade loser second one small winner q's first trade loser second one winner spy winner This is on january 30th and to close out january x was a winner q's was a winner and v was a loser No trades in the first in the fourth and off the fifth again I use my method i use my strategy if there isn't anything that meets my criteria Then i don't do anything that's part of being disciplined as a trader and following a set system per day Which i only do my golden gap system. I don't do anything else whether it's options or day trades Then the sixth ea was a loser twitter was a nice one on the 7th Carb was a loser first trade second trade was a retake and worked out beautifully The 11th no trades ua was a loser guild was a winner spy was a winner on the 12th Tiva was a loser spy was a loser second trade big winner on the 13th N tap just did not work out both trades losers mgm was a winner and sysco was a loser on the 14th and spy was a nice winner on the 15th There's been quite a few market trades in here now that i'm looking back at this the 18th the market was closed 19th was wmt. That was a good solid Move didn't have the follow through on the daily chart, but on the day was decent 20th was cvs first trade loser second trade winner dpz Was a beautiful gap on the 21st 22nd was khc 25th room closed 26 cat was a loser hd loser sjm was a loser Wt was a winner on the 27th and the last day of the month was a very nice one in hpq Then the spy first trade loser second one winner on the first to start out the month of march Qs was a loser on the fourth tb day off the 5th 6th trip did not work out loser target two trades first one loser second one winner That just didn't do what i wanted it to when that day on the target Khr was a nice solid quick one on the 7th cost was a very good gap Uh for the option and the day trade first trade was a stop though and the second one was a big winner on the 8th The 11th no trades 12th stitch fix didn't work either shot in that that was a long They both stopped the 13th off dg first trade small loser second trade a really nice winner That was one of the nicest shorts so far in march 15th no trades 18th ostk small loser spy loser Facebook really nice winner that dropped all day dsw was a solid gap in the 19th the 20th fdx was really bizarre quite frankly Uh first trade dropped had a move if you held it stopped Then again secondary move piecemealed out of it Partial winner partial loser gs was a loser on the 21st and cs iq was a winner So all in all when you look at the period from january till march It's really obvious the days that there was many many easy things to do are smooth fast moves and Really it's it's about what you're going to do with your day. Are you going to hold it to the target? Are you going to get out fast? Are you looking for one risk unit? Are you looking for the target? How much you're going to risk? Are you going to get out havesies? All of these things should be in your trading plan and again if you have questions you can ask me Personally, I like to do the morning and I do like to get out fast But I like to give sometimes something a little bit of room so it can get a little bit going Not just a baby amount. I don't like to scalp. I like to get a move in something I call it the money move and I'll talk about that more in the next webinar But for those of you that are asking what is an advanced trader risk Anywhere from 1500 to 2000 dollars is an advanced trader risk now This doesn't mean you have to risk that you could risk $100 a trade you could risk $200 a trade Again, it has to do with the size of your account and also your buying power margin And you might have more margin than sometimes you can even use if the stop happens to be Wide in something and for example, if it's a dollar you normally only risk $100 whether you can only take 100 shares Ultimately if you want to work for yourself it is the best thing that you can do It is a lot of fun to work for yourself. It doesn't mean that you're not going to have challenges in certain days That's part of the the uh, I guess the the balance and you have to look at yourself and you have to say You know what I've got the confidence. I've got the knowledge. I've got the right information And in ultimately in the end it's worth it to work for yourself even though some days it may seem hard work It definitely definitely is worth it because in the end you have freedom freedom of time You only report to yourself You do have to be an independent person to work for yourself And that's part of having a strategy to follow being strict with it a money management plan and being strict with it And also really focusing in the morning on what you're doing again Like I said, I never do anything where I'm not reading the gap I do look at everything pre market or at the post market and rate the stocks that we're trading ahead of time To predict the moves that they're going to make and the choices of the stocks that we're going to pick and do I teach my method in a class Again, this is for day trading or you can use it for swing or options trainings But all of these trades were day trades. I do have an options letter That's a separate program a separate service that you can sign up for But if you want to learn the system that I use you can only learn that in the golden gap course And you can only join the live trading room after you've taken the golden gap course So the class is march 23rd and 24th from 9 to 5 eastern time cost of the class is 59 99 us dollars classes online It could be anywhere in the world and take it email me if you would like to sign up deadline is march 22nd I'm doing a 24 hour special just to help people get ramped up here for the next earning season Which again begins in april. It's one year free in the trading room. This is only for 24 hours deadline is march 22nd That's it. The class is online. You must sign up by march 22nd The class is this weekend the 23rd and 24th You would get one year free in the trading room if you signed up and you would do the class this weekend This is a huge savings because the room is normally 3600 a year Don't miss out on this you would get all the trade calls that I just did and going forward for another year So i'm really looking forward to april to see what really happens with the market particularly because we've had this rally And to see where the market goes from here. I think april is going to be a great month I'm looking forward to it. I've been very very focused in the last week I will continue to be so throughout the rest of the year And if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to email me at melissa at the stocks wish dot com.
