 Everyone, welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh, and in reviewing the stocks, we'll show live trading room 2022, year-to-date advanced trader results, $438,649. This is with an average risk of around $2,800 per trade. So if you've been following me for a while, you know that I like to short. We're going to go over all the ticker symbols we did so far here today. Again, we're basically seven months plus into the year. There's about not quite five more it's left, four and a half plus. It'll be four and a half after this week. And it's been a really good year, even though the market's been volatile. We've had gaps. We've had gaps that have had big moves. And again, if you've been following me on YouTube, you know that I only trade gaps. Most of the trades that we do are shorts. We do have some longs. Actually, we've had some, we've had some longs recently to be honest with you, but most of the trades, most of the things that we do are in fact shorts. So if you have any questions, you can email me at melissathestoxswitch.com. You can call me at 929-3200 Gap. You can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or Skype. It has been a good year, like I said. And if you are interested in trading, just so you know, you would learn my method in the golden gap course. That is a class where I teach my system once a month. And that is something where you'll learn how I make the picks, like how did I make all these picks we're going to talk about, from the rating system. Every single person that's in the room has taken the class. Okay. You cannot join the room unless you've taken the class and you've learned what to do. I think it's really important. Knowledge is extremely important. If you want to trade, you won't make more money that rather than just copycatting my trades if you understand what to do. Yes, you can come in the room and take the calls. Yes, I call the trades live. The entries, the exits, the stops, yes, that's true, but you will do so much better if you understand why. Well, I'd love to say every single trade and every single setup is easy peasy. That's not realistic. So learning, knowledge, all of that helps. It helps you take the risk. It helps you hold something that's down until it goes up and all of the above. So it's really important to understand what to do in order to trade. So earning season is going on currently right now. Actually for the rest of the month, seems strange to have such good trading this summer, but actually it's earning season and many stocks gap on earnings. So it is actually a very good time to trade. In fact, today we did TSN. That was a short, it was a nice chart, and that was an earnings gap. One of the reasons that I started trading, and again I did one class and then I taught myself my own method because the class didn't teach me any singular method to trade or any way to trade at all, was too much broad base. I'm very focused in the class, very focused on what I do, very targeted. But one of the reasons I decided to do this, to get into day trading and all, is because I wanted to work for myself. The mortgage industry was changing in 2007, 2008. I had done it for a long time. It was great, but until it wasn't. Until it wasn't. And you might have been loving your job for a long time and all of a sudden now you don't. I mean, when you work for yourself, you're in control of your own destiny, you're in control of your own life, becoming independent, working for yourself is so much different than working for somebody else. And especially in the last two and a half years with COVID, I can't imagine the rules that people aren't stealing on people because of COVID, the restrictions, the masks, everything else. I mean, I'm so grateful that I work for myself and I will forever. I mean, so once you get a taste of freedom and independence, let me tell you, you will never, ever, ever go back. But I think it's important not to trade alone. You get the support, you get the support in the live room. Again, I make the calls, I make the picks. I say what I think of the market. All of these things are extremely important and vital to you getting through it. All right? You're doing your own, sometimes your second guessing yourself. Get the support. That's why I offer the live room. It opens Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, five days a week. So here's one we did. This was, oh my gosh, it was the end of July, 728. We did love. We chunked it out. Stock closed here. Gapped down, dropped, fell, boom, we shorted it, got in, got out. Beautiful move, beautiful trade. Again, this was an earnings gap and it was a short stock price dropped. So we got the sell-off and we made money in this. This is what I call the money move. Again, look at how I pitted it around for the rest of the day in and out fast. Most of the trades we do are quick. TSN was quick today, too. You know? In fact, I'll do a video on that later. So fast is the key to day trading. You only got till four o'clock and it's so rare that we hold a trade that long. I'm not saying to never do, I might, but it's rare. So back to the beginning of the year again, this is every ticker symbol we did this year. With an average risk of $2,800 per trade, you can risk less. These are trades on margin. These are not options trades. If you want to trade options, you sign up for the options newsletter. I do not call options trades in the room. While there are some people in the room that choose to do the trades as options, that's a decision that they make on their own that is not what I'm calling in the room. Okay, just so you know. Just to be clear. So January closed. The locker was breaking, but no trades of this. Six was a Netflix. That was a winner. Spy was a winner of the seven. Tenth was Q's. It was a big winner. No trades in the 11th. Apple was breaking even on the 12th. This was to start out the year. Crazy how the year started off bulls*** than dropped. I mean, when you look back at the chart, like, oh my God, we haven't been back up with the highs at all. Netflix was a big winner on the 13th. Facebook was a winner. JPM was a big winner. Close to the 17th. Martin Luther King Day. Goldman Sachs was a winner on the 18th. Spy was a winner on the 18th. I want to always do two things, but sometimes a will if I really like something. No trades on the 19th. Oh, maybe that was Martin Luther King. Oh, no, we were close to 17th. That was no trades. Yeah. There's a lot of, there's a lot of market holidays now that I think about it. I'm trying to think what the next one is. Labor Day. Labor Day is the next one. AA was a winner. UAL was a winner on the 20th. Netflix was a winner on the 21st. The 24th was Spy. Apple was a winner of the 25th. Microsoft took two trades. First one lost. Second one big winner. Sometimes they'll do a retake. MCD failed on the 27th. BA was a nice winner on the 27th. BA worked again on the 28th. Apple was a winner on the 31st. That was January. Market really slid off on February. February 1st UPS lost. Second trade worked. PayPal was a big winner. February 2nd and Facebook on February 3rd. Then Ford was a huge winner on the 4th. Babel was a winner on the 7th. Qs was a loser. Then Facebook was a big winner. Apple lost. Netflix lost. Apple won. Netflix break even. PayPal lost. Then PayPal was a big winner. Qs was a big winner. UAA was a winner. And then February 1st 14th new trade. Sometimes there's no good gaps. I mean it's better than losing. We just don't do anything. The Qs was a winner on the 16th and 17th. Again we had a lot of gaps in the market this month and they worked. They were shorts. The 18th Facebook lost. QQQs was a big winner on the 18th. Spy lost. Second trade worked on the 22nd. Low was a winner on the 23rd. 24th spy lost. Footlocker was a winner on the 25th. BA was a winner on the 28th. Then BA was a winner to start at March. A small one. FSLR lost on March 2nd. Zoom was a winner. We've done that a couple of times this year. Nice one. BA won in the 3rd. BA won on the 4th. QQs was a big winner on March 7th. Again we've done the market a lot this year actually. It's day trades and options. The 8th QQs. First trade lost. Second one worked. No trades for March 9th. BA lost on March 10th. Spy lost. QQs won. March 11th off. March 14th I was off. Apple 2 losers. So just didn't work. CVX lost too. But then on the 16th we did CVX. One lost. One worked. No trades on March 17th. FDX was an easy one on the 18th. 21st BA lost. CVX won. And then the 22nd was BA lost. CCL lost. CVX won. CVX we were going long to be honest with you a lot this year. So those weren't shorts. Adobe was a winner on the 23rd. No trades on the 24th. BA lost on the 25th. QQs lost on the 25th. And then we did a retake. That worked. No trades March 28th. AA lost on the 29th. CVS won. Chewie was a loser on the 30th. The March on Facebook was too. Spy was a massive winner on March 30th. I remember that. I mean we just... The market has given so many opportunities to anybody this year. I can't even tell you. WBA was a winner on the 31st. QQQs won on the April 1st. April 4th was no trades. April 5th Twitter lost. CVX lost. BA big winner. QQs winner. CVX lost the second retake. BA won. And Spy won on April 6th. Then off on the 7th. 8th was the Qs was a winner. Then on the 11th we did the Qs twice. The first one was a retake. Second one worked. I review retakes in the class. I teach retakes in the class. It's actually something to go over on day two. April 12th. JPM was a winner. No trades on April 13th. So then we got into again... This is the spring. April 14th. Wells Fargo lost. Qs won. Two trades in the Qs on the 18th. One lost. One worked. The 19th we had a loser on the Qs. J&J lost. Then the second trade worked and the Qs worked. Netflix was a winner. AA was a winner. Verizon was a winner. And no trades on the 25th. JetBlue worked on April 26th. BA was a winner. In April 27th. Kat was a winner on April 28th. And INTC was a winner on 29th. That's normally what I like to do. One in, out. Boom. In, out. Done and done. Again, if I take the first trade and I lost, I will do a retake or something else. Because it might not reset up. But I mean, the best day is the best week we ever had. We do one trade done. One trade done. One trade done. Again, I'm trying to hit a bullseye. Every time I take the trade, that's the idea. That's the whole point. That's how you make money. It's not sitting and you make money and you take it, take it, take it, take it. No, that's how you give money back. Okay. I'm very pinpointed like trying to hit a bullseye. You're not going to hit a bullseye all day long from 9, 30 to 4 a million times. It's just not going to happen. That's the odds are against you. So I put the odds of my favor to look for a high quality gap that rates 20 points or more per my 26 point rating system. That's what I look to do. And if I get that in one thing and I make money, I'm done. Okay. You set your goals accordingly to you people. Whatever it is you want to make. Your risk has to, you know, be based on that too. Okay. So then May started out the Q's lost twice, then a big winner. CHGG was a loss and then win one, one. That was a good trade. May 5th was lift. That worked. Etsy was the fifth. That worked. Spy was the sixth. That worked. May 9th and 10th off. May 11th Q's lost. Q's won. May 12th off. May 13th. Twitter lost. CVX was a winner. Twitter was a winner on the 16th. Walmart was a winner on the 17th. Target was a winner on the 18th. No trades, the 19th. DE winner on the 20th. No trades, the 23rd. ANF lost. Facebook lost. Facebook lost again. That day just didn't come together at all. Nothing was working right, the 24th. 25th we did BA loss, but a nice trade in CVX. No trades, the 26th. W-day lost. A big lost and W-day big winner on the 27th of May. CVX lost. Spy lost. And then CVX lost in the retake on the 31st. That just didn't work. Walmart was a good one on the June 1st.

June 9th, Spy lost in two and then a big winner. June 10th, QQQ's was a winner. And then June 13th, QQ's was a winner. No trades in the 14th and 15th. Again, if something doesn't rate my criteria, I'm not going to trade. QQ's was a winner. And then Spy, that was June 16th. Adobe lost. Target won. No trades to 21st. QQ's lost on 22nd. Then I couldn't find anything else to do. UAL worked on the 23rd and no trades on the 24th. There are times where there is more opportunity in the market than others. And then around the holidays, there is less opportunity. You have to watch it. What am I talking about in holidays? Christmas, Thanksgiving, July 4th. Do you know what I mean? Save was a winner on the 27th. Nike lost. Then worked. QQ's was a winner on the 29th. June 30th. The close at the month. We did the Q's again. Worked. Closed on the 1st. The 5th. The Q's lost. No trades on the 6th and 7th. Then we came back June, July 8th. Spy lost. Twitter won. Twitter was a winner on July 11th. July 12th. No trades. Dow worked on the 13th. I was off on the 14th. No trades on the 15th. Goldman 2730 lost. 4480 was a winner on the 18th. IBM was a winner on the 19th. IBM worked then too on the 20th. UAL was a good gap. I remember that. Then we did meta July 22nd. First trade loss. Second one worked. And we also did snap. That worked too. Snap actually was a lot easier to do. July 25th. No trades. Walmart lost on 26 Q's won. Microsoft was a big winner on the 27th. That was a long. And there was the love on the 28th. Off on the 29th. And the 1st. Cat lost. Q's lost. VA was a big winner. CBS was a winner on August 30th. eBay was a winner on August 4th. Teelo was a winner on Friday, August 5th. And TSN was a winner on August 8th. And the 1st is actually shaping up to be a good month here. We're a couple days into the month. We'll see if we can keep it up. Really just on my game here. So this is like the whole back. A year. We're going back 12 months here. Here's where last August roughly. And here's roughly where we are now. I mean, when you look at where we were from here to the previous highs to here to here, you're like, okay, yeah, we are. We've had some gains since a year ago. But then when you look at where we were, you're like, wow, really falling off a planet. So it'll be interesting to see what the market does. We got a big day for the market this week, which is Wednesday, a big number, a CPI number that will definitely have an effect on the market. Depends on what the number is, how the market reacts. Anyways, going over these trades, these trades are at an advanced trade or risk of an average of $2,800 per trade. You take the trade, you put in the stock. So your share size will be different every trade. Why? Because some trades want to have a dollar stock. Some may have 20 cents. So then you can take more sides. You know what I'm saying. And you also need to trade these trades on margin. You must have a margin account. People always ask me, can you trade with beginner risk? The answer is yes. Of course you can. Of course you can. So you have to think about the amount of money you have divided by how many trades you want to do a day. One, two, five is a lot. You know, you can tell the days I had difficult days where I was over-trading. Two is good. Three is fine. I don't even think you need four. One is not enough. But if you decide you want to do options instead of day trades, you can. You can take the class and learn how I make the option picks too. Then you can be in the room. Actually, to be honest with you, people are in the room. We're only doing options and they're on the newsletter and they did the class and they like what I hear what I have to say about things we do. There were options I called this morning. People heard what I had to say, but the market in the room, it was helpful this morning. If you have a small account, you could join the room after you take the class and you could just do the trades as options if you want. So if I call something like IBM and you want to do a put in it and we do a day trade short, you could do that. You could do that or just sign up for the options newsletter. But getting back to what I was saying earlier, you know, financial freedom is very important, not just now because of the type of an economic environment we're in. I think in general, you should always, always be concerned about what's going on in the world, what's going on in your world and what things can you control. You can't control the price of cheese or butter or eggs or strawberries or anything you might want to buy. You can control how much money you make if you decide to work for yourself and trade the market. It may take you time to learn. It may take you time to chunk it out, but the sooner you start, the better. Complaining and whining and wondering and waiting. I mean, it's never going to get you anywhere. Look at this now. Half the year is gone. More than half the year is over before you know it. It's going to be Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas and then we're going to be ringing in the new year. This year really, I think, actually flew by. At least for me. I don't know about you, but for me. So we'll see where we're going into the future, but if you'd like to learn, there's only a couple more classes before the end of the year. The next class is in August. It's at the end of the month. It's called the Golden Gap course. This is where I teach my strategy. It's August 27th to 28th, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time. Class tuition is $69.99. Again, the class is online. You can be anywhere in the world and take it. Everyone pays the same price. Everyone does who signs up. And again, you have to take the class in order to join the live room. Now, if you wanted to do the combo, you would do the Trends class on Tuesday and the Golden Gap course. You save money. If you sign up for two, you get two classes for $74.99. Again, there's everything's online. If you have questions, email me. If you want to sign up, you must email me. You must email me for sign up forums. They're not on the website. You can email me at melissathestockswish.com. It has been a good year. We've had a good start to August. I'm going to keep it up and email me if you have questions. Have a great day, everyone.
