 Hello there everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm reviewing the market calls in the last two weeks. And why? Because there was a lot of calls in the market and they all worked which was amazing. So let's go over them. You can watch me on Fox Business and Fox News. You can also feel free to email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com or call me at 929-3200 Gap, follow me on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. So I don't know where you're at with everything. Are you trading right now? Do you know how to trade? Are you just thinking about getting into it? I do think that's something that you have to know where you are specifically with your trading. If you're brand new, that's fine too. A lot of people ask me, can you do this if you're a beginner? And the answer is yes, of course you can. And sometimes when you are new it's better than being experienced because a lot of experienced people who say their experience are actually losing money in the market. They may know how to read a moving average but they don't know how to make money. So I think it's great when people come to me and they don't know anything because they learn from the ground up. A strategy is very important to make money in the market. And you know, there's all kinds of different things you can do. I mean, I wouldn't do a majority of them to be honest with you. For example, penny stocks to me are absolute crap. I would never trade a penny stock with a 10 foot pull but I mean people do them, let alone stocks are worth a dollar and yet people do them. Sometimes they call them pump and dumps. I just think those things are ridiculous. When I'm looking to take a position or I'm even analyzing anything, if I even rate it, if it's even on my watch list, it's a stock and it's a company that you should probably have heard of before, Starbucks, Amazon, Google, Facebook. You know these things. You're familiar with them. They're real to you and they trade with volume and that's what my strategy is based on. It's based on stocks that are traded by institutional money in the market. So how can we make money? Consistency. All right? The consistency and also having a good strategy and then obviously money management which I think is 101. So I found some people are not aware of that. It is part of the class that I teach. Anyways, if you want to learn how to day trade, you can be anywhere in the world and that's a nice convenient thing about this. You don't have to be in the US. You don't have to work down a wall street. You're not going to have to leave your house quite frankly. You can day trade and you can live anywhere in the world but you do have to be focused and you do have to have a focused daily and you do have to kind of block out the world in the period of time that you trade and you have to have conviction and you have to have a strategy. And not only that, it has to work. Okay? You can have a strategy and if it's based on something ridiculous and it doesn't make you any money on a regular basis then it's worthless. Okay? You have to focus on the right things. So it is my belief system and I've proven this to myself and also my students over the course of the last 10 plus years that one strategy is all you really need to be successful in the market. You do not need a general overall broad base for you to make money. I mean there's a lot of people that know a lot about a lot of different things. GDP and this report and that report and yet they don't make any money. So at the end of the day I'd rather make money and so that means what? You got to know how to make money quite frankly. A lot of people know a lot of information that doesn't do them any good and they are not wealthy. So tons of people know a lot and fail in trades all the time. You have to learn how to read institutional money and price patterns and gaps and you don't need anything else to do this and why? Because institutional money controls the market. You'll learn this more as I said in the class. But if your reason for doing this which should be to create profit, if that's your reason then you really have to be very focused. So I read price. I read price action and gaps. It's something very specific. The way that I read the gaps is specific. There are people out there that teach about gaps. They teach things incorrectly or the opposite or just in a very different manner than I do. So I created my own system. That's why I defined it and termed it and coined it the golden gap. I see movements ahead of time and charts the gap and it's called price forecasting. That's exactly how I call the market. And you can go back and look at my YouTube videos back from the whole last year particularly December. I have a clip from December where I put information that I said before the rally that the market had in December that we have the New Year's E rally which we did and I forecast what the next price movement is going to be. And it's because of the gaps. That's where I get the confidence and the conviction to do such. So what is price forecasting? Forecasting is the use of historic data to determine the direction of future trends. Businesses utilize forecasting to determine how to allocate their budgets or plans for the anticipated expenses for an upcoming period of time. So if you had a business you would forecast where you're going to spend this much money this month. Actually if you don't have a business and you are just take care of your own household expenses you take the amount of money that you make and you say okay we can afford this and you minus out your car payment, your utilities, your housing which is your rent or your mortgage, food, cell phone bill and you manage all these things and you forecast what you have left over the month to maybe spend on luxury items, clothing, going out, entertainment, whatever. But you have to have a plan, it's called a business plan when you're doing this and that's really how I look at the market. I say well this is a plan. The plan is that it looks like it's going to go here. Now what does that mean? It means high odds. High odds it's going to go there. It's not a guarantee but it means everything is setting up and it looks pretty good. High odds. Okay that's forecasting. So I'm price forecasting how looking at gaps which tells me what? The institutional money that's coming into a chart. Now this was a beautiful call that I had on the 21st where I called this by 285, 329. These are all the calls I made in the market just in the last two weeks. This worked. If you had an advanced risk you could have made $3,600. Now what if you only took six contracts you could have made 360 bucks. Still a very nice trade. And again the 282. This was actually probably one of the most phenomenal ones that I've called here with the exception of the one that's currently in play right now. 282 calls. Gapped up on the Monday. And again we're up tonight so this could play out to be something similar already. $1.90 cost, 30 contracts which is an advanced risk, 5,700 risk, 6.4 sole price but this went well over that and ran up really into the last day, 13,500 again an advanced risk, return investment 237%. So these are all the trades in the last two weeks I called in the market. And again how did I know how to forecast this market in this way because of my gap analysis. Rated the gap in the morning in the pre-market or at night. Like I could have rate the gap tonight. I haven't done it yet. And why? Because usually I like to do it in the morning and it changes sometimes from night to morning. But I mean I can tell right now if we open here this would be good. Anyways the next one was by the Q call strike 180 another nice one could have made $700 that ran like the Dickens. Really nice 130% return investment. Here was the chart. And again you're looking here this is the drop off and then this is where I called the trade here on the 29th, gapped up this is Friday, Monday took off like a rocket. Really nice move and again we're up again tonight. And then I call the 285s, 45 again nice move here, 4800 he could have made advance risk. Again similar thing. I mean look at how this market is gone and again I'm reading the gaps. This was a gap up from Friday to Monday took off. And then we did some day trades so I wanted to stick these in here too because if you had traded the market alone and nothing else and when I say the market I mean the spy the cues although you could have done the diamonds but it wasn't as good of a play as the cues in the spy which are the market ETFs. We did day trades Monday could have made $100 it was an early exit ran up like crazy on that day though you could have made way more and I just want to show you this here this was the first look where this ended up going it was nuts whenever 286 okay I was on TV I had to handle that way earlier in the day but that ran up another dollar. Then Tuesday this is the QQQs you could have made 1320 and advance risk and again I'm showing this here this is Monday this is Tuesday not that big of a move but a nice just rally okay so again you're looking to just get the lift and this is a 15 minute chart but again I want to show you how the market rallied on Tuesday Wednesday another beautiful move in both the QQs and the spy the biggest move in the week except for the gap up that happened from Friday to Monday so this is the QQs again here here's where we gapped up then I went to like that beautiful rally and this is what I called the money move then the spy again another really nice trade and again this was the same day as the QQs it went right straight up really nice move that was Wednesday so in two weeks of trains this is options trades and day trades you could have made a total in the spy and the QQ than just the market calls I made if you didn't do anything else but the calls I gave in the market and this is this is I'm saying this for the people that are in the room and on the options letter or if you're thinking about doing this I have read the market so well that you could literally just do nothing else but the trades I call in the market and every trade has worked that I've been calling so that is something here to take note of every trade that I've called in the market in the last two weeks has been profitable and that is phenomenal I am very focused this market is challenging it has been challenging so I'm even more focused and I'm telling you the focus helps me and it will help you too if you want to make a lot of money you have to be focused you can't be like willy-nilly you can't be one minute feeling like this one million feeling like that one minute you want to trade the next minute you don't one minute you want to do it then you're not sure you have to be totally present in the moment reading what's happening in live time okay so in two weeks you could have made thirty eight thousand four hundred twenty dollars that's amazing and how could you've done it one getting my calls to learning the system yourself it's a 26 point checklist that I use to rate the market daily and any stocks that we happen to look at which again are not penny stocks are not dirt cheap they're normal stocks people ask me what experience do you need and how long does it take to learn you know it'll take as long as you take you do the class the class is two days at 16 hours but then you may have a learning curve I found that people are all over the place some people pick it up right away is after the class some people take some time because they're new or they've learned and trade before and they have bad habits gotta get over those bad habits but either way I'm telling you if you were focused you can do it if you learn my method anyways now what if you are working full-time what if you don't have more than the weekend to devote to doing this well you can do the options trades you know then do the options if you can't be in the room money through Friday 8 30 to you know 11 a.m. and then do the options trades okay do swing trades use it for your long-term investing there's lots of things you can do with it so if you want to learn my method it's a class I teach it once a month you learn the 26 point checklist measures gas by rating them in a daily chart to find stocks to trade that have number one a high probability of directional bias for the entire day number two a big move in the day number three early confirmation of the bias and the move between 9 30 and 10 a semester time number four precise entries of a follow-through and a good risk-to-reward target potential so how do you make this much money versus this much money it has to do with the amount your risk and that has to be quantified based on the size of your account in your cash size so I say be consistent with your risk if you have questions about this ask me and I will help you if you'd like more information again email me at Melissa the stock switch top on the next class is coming up next weekend so I teach a class it's called the Golden Gap course it's April 13th and 14th 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 I also have the trends course on the 15th you save money if you sign it for both 64 99 and the savings classes online again if you want to sign up email me at Melissa at the stocks wish com have a great great week everyone think about what I said be positive stay on track earning season in this week and be very careful if you trade the market be careful you trade the market be careful if you trade futures and you better know what you're doing in this market good luck everyone and reach out if you'd like more information
