 Welcome, this is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm going to go over one month, which was the month of June, one month of using the Golden Gap system for day trades and options. So this is both the equity day trades that she would have gotten the calls in the day trade room and then being a member of the Gap Options newsletter for the month of June. So this is advanced trader risk and we're going to go over the risk and the ticker symbol is $240,986 for June. So it was a very good month and the interesting thing is really it was a lot of it was BYND, Beyond Meat was a big mover in the month of June and it just goes to reinforce what I teach, which is that you really only need one good thing that could make your month. One good Gap, one good trade, one good symbol and that's pretty much what it was for June. So let's go through. If you'd like more information, you can always email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com or you can call me at 929-3200 Gap, follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. So here it is. It's crazy to think that half the year is over, but it is and you know, I mean it just seemed like yesterday that it was a holidays. I was with my family and all of a sudden now half the year is over and it's the summer and I just don't know where the time is gone, but it's been a good year. 2019 has been a good year, it's been a working year for me, working on the process, becoming better at what I do, becoming stronger. And if you are not in a position at this point in July, it's beginning of July, that you feel that you are making headway in your trading or your finances or your life, that you're making some progress, then that I say it's time to just stay stationary and stop what you're doing and think. Because you need to be coming up, going up a ladder. You need to be going up the right path. You could take a break, but you need to keep going. A lot of people never get on the right path. They never really get on the right path and the problem is that you know, if you're not on the right path in the market, then you're probably losing. And you don't want to lose money trading. You want to make money trading. It doesn't matter if you're trading part-time or full-time. It's important for you to see the benefits, to see the profits, to see the money. You want to be making progress. Again, this doesn't mean that every trade works. It means that more trades work than fail. It means you're moving ahead. It means that you are profitable. So in my class, I teach a course. It's called the Golden Gap course and I teach a 26-point rating system that I look to use whether it's an option trade, whether it's an equity trade. I rate the gap based on the gap and then based on the point rating to determine the direction to go long or short. Now here was a stock I was talking about, which was the Golden Gap of the month, which is BYNT. Tons of plays in this. I have a whole video on it on YouTube. I think there was 11 total and one failed. The rest worked. So this was just an amazing stock to be in pretty much no matter what you did with it, but they were all options trades for this month. And big moves. The stock has a lot of volatility. I'm just looking here from the point before the earnings and then this was like literally from the 7th to the 18th. The stock moved 100 points. So you see here how if you find the right stock to play, you can really get your most bang for your buck. So I teach in my class, it's a system. It's a system that I use for everything. So it's very important to do what? Get the directional bias correct. If you are long stock, then it better be going up or you're not going to make money. You have to get the directional bias correct for a stock. If you're going long the stock, it has to move higher for you to make money. If you're short of the stock, it has to move lower for you to make money. I know that sounds like common sense, but a lot of traders don't think like that ahead of time. You got to think like that. Common sense people. It's all about getting the directional bias correct. Something I'm very good at doing. If you can predict the direction the stock of the market will go before it goes there, then you have master something very, very special. And that is what I have done. How do I determine the direction something will go? I look at the gap. I rate the gap. I rate the gap using my 26-point golden gap rating checklist. And that is what I will teach you if you want to come and learn the golden gap system and the golden gap course. So that's how I've called all these trades. So this is all the day trades. Advanced trader risk. I have in here $2,000. Again, you do not have to risk a $2,000 per trade risk. You can risk $200. You can risk $100 a trade. I'm just letting you know if you had risked $2,000 per trade, the results you would have had for June, for the month of June, if you were in the live trading room would have been $36,816. So there's a solid month. It was an early season. You do see here there is some losses. The parentheses are losses. There's just not that many. There's more wins than losses. And that's how you make money in the market. Nothing's 100%. You have to look at it overall and say, how can I make more? And again, it is about the focus. And you stop, which I call it in the day trading room. So in the day trading room, I call the entry, the stop, and then the exit. We talk about targets in the morning, but I may not hold everything to a target. If people are looking for money management guidelines, I say you really have to go with what you know because you personally, if you're not familiar with booking money, green is important. Green, green, green helps your emotions and your account. But typically what I teach people is we're looking for risk to reward one to one in the day trades. And sometimes there are more return investment in the options 50% to 100% and again sometimes there are more, which BYND was, but you have to use common sense in these because when you're up money, you don't have that money in the bank until you book it. So it's very important for you to book money when you're profitable. Also I get this question a lot, the minimum amount to trade that you need to trade the golden gap system, the minimum is whatever you need to take to open an account. If you want to do options, you need an options account. You just go to a broker minimums, usually 2000 at most brokers, you got to check with the broker using day trades. If you want to trade the system using day trades, you need a day trading account minimum amount is usually 2500 for proprietary day trading account or 25,000 for a retail account. Again, check with a broker. There's plenty of options out there though for people to trade. There's no excuses for people not to be trading saying they don't have enough money. They need a couple hundred grand. That's not true. Obviously, if you want to risk $2,000 a train, you need substantial cash for that. No one's saying you need to do that. The idea is where you can go with it, the potential. The potential is even greater than what I'm discussing here, but it's very realistic to take a position size to see these results as far as quantity of shares when you're taking them in the stocks that we trade. I'm going to go back here for a second. All of these stocks you've been familiar with, you would know. You know the companies. You know Facebook. You know Lily. You know Twitter. You know these companies. You know Cartable Cruises. You've heard of Adobe. All of these companies most people have heard of. It's important when you think about what kind of stocks are we trading, things that are familiar. They're not beyond the realm of knowing and they're real companies, real stocks that trade that have volume too, and they move. That's part of the reason why so many of the moves are good moves where you can be profitable. You've got to find stuff that has movement in it. If you're an active trader. Looking here at the options trades, 204.170. This is a bigger risk for the options because again some of these are overnight. Again, you don't have to risk 6,000. A trade you could risk less. You could risk more. I'm showing here all the trades for June. Only you see all the BYND trades, of which there was quite a lot of them. Very active month in June. It's been a very active year overall. The entire month is here and basically there were some losers. There was a period in the month of June. Where was that one week? Here. There was one week where we had a bunch on and none of them worked. Then we had the BYND. It was at the same time. Then BYND was huge and it was like boom, boom, boom. You have these things and you can set your targets like I said at 100%. If you risk 6,000, you're looking to make 6,000. If you risk 500, you're looking to make 500, but BYND was one of those ones where if you were in the trade and that gap actually happened twice, you just made way more than 100% just because you were in the trade if you held it overnight. That will happen. You don't know when it will happen. It happened with Disney too. You take the trade and you have it on. It's really about results. If you're looking to get results, it's about winning. It's about making money. It's about thinking about what you're doing. It's about going through the process. It is about learning it or following someone that's really good at what they do like me. It's just not about taking crap shoots. It's not about taking pot shots. It's not about taking trades without understanding what's going on at all. It's very important to understand what's happening when you're trading. It's extremely, extremely important. If you want to know what to do and if you want to understand what's happening, then you really, really have to take this seriously. The training room, you're only eligible to join my training room once you do the class. As far as the option newsletter, you can sign up for that. You get the trades. However, you have to money manage the trades yourself. It is important to think about what you're doing in your trades. I can't stress that enough. For me, it really, really is about the focus, to achieve these kinds of results or more. I follow system to system. I create it. I'm a very intellectual person. I'm very focused on how my mind works, keeping my mind healthy. That's how I created my own system. It's called the golden gap. I say, make money doing it all. You can do equities and options. You could do one. You could do another. You could do both. It's totally, totally up to you. But I'm doing gaps only. I'm looking for the momentum. We're taking the trade before the momentum comes in. Again, this is a nice career if you want to do it, if you want to work for yourself. I'm doing a special Christmas in July onward with all Hallmark Channels running Christmas movies.
