 Hello everyone. My name is Melissa Armel and I own a company called the Stock Swoosh. And today I thought I'd talk about something that I think is important for people that are out there that are thinking about trading or interested in trading or even trading right now. I've had my business, the Stock Swoosh now, for more than five years. And I've realized that it's extremely important for people to have confidence in order to be successful. Sometimes people are born confident. Anything that happens to them, they just roll right on over it and keep moving forward and keep moving on. But that's not many people. Most people need encouragement. Most people need a support system around them if they want to be successful trading. If you're out there and you're thinking about trading and you just try to do it on your own, you will not have as high of an odds of success as if you had a good support system around you. And that could be one of many things. It could be family, friends encouraging you, as I said before, encouragement is very important, or something like a mentor. And I've become a mentor for people. How? Well, first of all, people take my course and they learn my information in the class, the method, the system that I've created. People come, they pay me a tuition price for the knowledge, and then I'm there to help them learn the system, gain the skill, and support them. The other thing is I have the live trading room. Now, not everyone that's taken my class is in the live trading room. That's something that people can join after the class, however, the trading room is a great support system for people to come right out of the class, go into the live room, and take the live calls that I make every day, Monday through Friday. That's really the best support system for people, because they can see the system at work. They see me rating the gaps in the morning pre-market, they see me prepping in the morning before they open to get ready on the day for the live day. See what stock picks I'm watching, see the ratings, look at the targets, look at the resistance, look at the support levels. I also teach as a support in the live trading room as well, and I think that getting back to the confidence level, if people take my calls and they make money in their green, that helps their own confidence, because I always say there's nothing like making money in the market to help your confidence level. However, many people ride this wave, this trading wave, where they're up and down all the time, because they really don't know what they're doing, and they don't have a support system, and then it's really just, you know, it's just like a crapshoot, and they're playing the odds, sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. What your goal should be, all right, if you want to do this, is to have some level of consistency, consistency in an even scale and an upward curve, where you are learning all the time, making money, and consistently becoming more profitable, as your risk increases as well, and you're learning, and that doesn't mean you're never going to make any mistakes, but that's the purpose again of having a support system, and a mentor, someone like me to guide you in the live trading room and in the class to learn the information, because everyone has a different knowledge base, some people know nothing when they come to me, some people know a heck of a lot, but they are not an expert in gaps. I don't want to get too long winded here about gaps specifically, but I will tell you that what I do is so, so unique, and I kind of realize that very, very early on when I decided to trade, and then even more so as I decided to start a business and teach people, and now even more so as the years have gone and I've taught more and more people through the years and the business is thriving, I've realized that this is such a specific thing to look at a gap and determine where or any stock, any stock at all, to be able to look at a stock or the market and predict where it's going to go before it does it is such a unique thing, it's a skill, most people don't even attempt to try to do it, they will just take a trade, hoping that it will work or following somebody else, not know why it should work, not having 100% conviction that it will work, just using money management, taking the trade and seeing what happens, and they go through the process, and even people are following systems that are, people purchase systems where they do that, actually automated systems where they do it and they have a system and they look at the percentage and say well based on this many trades, this many will work, this many will fail, what you would come to me and learn is actually a skill, it's a system but it's a skill that you're learning how to read a chart, how to read a chart and actually predict buying and selling and when it's going to come into the stock, at what level and obviously which stock and on what particular day so that you know to trade it, so it is so unique the way that I look at trade gaps, most people that trade gaps don't look at them the way that I do, in fact I don't know anyone that does, I look at 26 things in the morning before I'm choosing to do something, predict the selling of the buying but I prefer to short, I will tell you that and it's really about looking at what institutions are doing in the stock, who is in control, who is the level of control, so for you as an individual, if you want to do this thing, if you really want to become a trader, if you really want to make money in the market, even if you don't want to become a full-time trader or a part-time trader, even if you don't want to do that, you still have to take it seriously, so even if you're only going to trade two days a week, you still have to take it seriously enough or you're not going to be successful, you will be like this up and down all the time and your confidence will be nothing and you will find yourself very frustrated, so it's important to have a good support system and I think everybody needs encouragement and you know what, when you're starting out something new, it doesn't mean you're a new trader, I mean a new technique which would be you would come and learn how to trade gaps with me. When you're learning a new technique, you need encouragement and I think being in the room is the best because not only do you get the trade calls, you get the encouragement from me because you see it work out in live action. I say something like on Thursday I said Apple is a short and it was and in fact it was the only thing that I was even interested in on Thursday of this past week, Apple gapped down and it was a short, it was just rated well, there was no question in my mind that it was a short. So I will tell you that when you're starting out and you're doing this thing trading and if you want to be profitable, if you want to be successful, which hopefully everybody wants to be and I encourage everyone to be successful and give it your all when you do this thing, you really need to have a good support system. Part of that with me is the trading room and the information you learn in the class and then the ability I give people to email me if I have questions and want to ask me questions later after the course, which is also something that most classes or students or teachers don't offer their students. But I'm here for people if they need help, you're more than welcome to reach out to me if you're a student and if you want to come back around if you took a break from trading want to come back you can reach out to me. If you are someone that is brand new to trading, you would learn the nuts and bolts from me in the class and if you're someone that's been trading for years, however, you haven't seen success, you can come to me and do my course and learn my technique and then being in the trading room, like I said, would be the support system to help for that. So if you have any questions, you can email me at Melissa at thestockswitch.com hope everyone has a wonderful, wonderful fall and a very successful earning season. Thanks everybody. Have a great
