Again, the lecture is free and it is sponsored by Trader's Exclusive. So thank you so much for Trader's Exclusive for asking me to do this webinar on Wednesday. It's going to be about Apple. Now, Apple is such a great topic because everyone's always interested in wondering where is the stock going. They like to talk to their friends about it. They like to read things on the news about it. People like to watch things on TV about it. Everyone always wants to talk about Apple. Where is it going? Where is it going next? What's happening? And the earnings are coming out this week on Wednesday, July 24th. So it's actually a great day to do this lecture. The earnings are going to be reporting after the close on July 24th on Apple. And Apple is a tech giant. It's one of these companies that everyone's always watching and seeing what's going to happen with. So we're going to discuss it at the free lecture on Wednesday. I always like to start out my lectures with a motivational quote. The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential. These are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. It's interesting. This is a quote from Confucius. He lived a very long time ago. And yet this is very important information for us to learn even today. If you want to be good at something, if you really want to succeed, if you really want to reach your full potential, then you have to sometimes look beyond what is the norm. Reach beyond your normal boundaries. If you want to open up the new door, a new door to understanding in something, a new information, new knowledge. This is the kind of things that I'm teaching about my strategy and gaps. It's new information. It's like opening up a new door, unlocking the door to something brand new for yourself. It's going to help you achieve and succeed the success that you want in the market. So the topic is going to be about Apple. Have you been wondering how to read this tech giant? All the world would love to know about Apple. Apple is a fantastic example of the power of the golden gap. And that is the strategy that I train and teach. When a stock gaps, what happens to the trend? Huge training profits can be made in Apple if you learn how to read the chart. How will you do this? Learn how to understand gaps. Come to this exciting webinar about Apple. What is happening to Apple? What is going to happen with Apple? How can you learn the detail and specific knowledge and charts to help you make money trading? Learn the power of the golden gap and this incredible example currently happening in one of the world's largest companies. So I call Apple the golden gap because it is a golden gap and has been for months. This chart is one of the best and most incredible examples of how a person can make money using the golden gap rating system and strategy. Apple is a golden gap and has been for months and it is an amazing chart. It's a beautiful, amazing chart, an example of the power of the gap. Really, it's the power of the gap that creates this kind of momentum and this kind of move in such a way that you can determine what it's doing. There's a once in a lifetime opportunity setting up in Apple. Right now it has been setting up in Apple. What do I mean by once in a lifetime opportunity? I mean something that doesn't happen that often, that may never happen again in your lifetime. This is something that is too good to ignore. Something that's setting up where all the pieces are coming together. You're getting confirmation and confirmation and confirmation and confirmation. It's the kind of thing like how much confirmation do you want before you decide to do something and act? So a once in a lifetime opportunity is something where all the pieces of the puzzle are fitting together and everything's working and the timing is right and this is what's setting up in Apple. Huge opportunities just don't happen every day in the market. There's a huge opportunity setting up in Apple right now and has been. Opportunities do happen every day in the stock market but not huge opportunities. Okay, that's just a fact. You can go into the market every day and find opportunity but not huge opportunities. That just doesn't play out every day. And yet what's happening right now in Apple is setting up to be a huge opportunity. Again, what do I mean? Something that doesn't happen that often. Something that has a huge potential. Something that has a great risk to reward. Something that is a trade that you would want to take that you don't want to miss but you have to understand how to do it. It's one of these things like you go back and you look at it and say boy, that was a huge opportunity. An opportunity means it's something that you can know ahead of time to take action on and do it. Otherwise you've missed the boat. So the point in learning gaps and understanding gaps to read a chart like Apple is so you can actually take advantage of the opportunity to make money because that's the reason that you trade. So let's look at the daily chart of Apple. I just clip this to show you. Apple ran up, this was the end of 2012 into the fall of last year and went over 700, went up to about 705 and came in and retested it and then gapped. This was in September of 2012. And ever since then, it fell off a cliff. It's been a beautiful, amazing chart and a great example of the strategy that I teach. Here's a larger picture. A larger picture here shows how Apple was in a beautiful uptrend for all of 2010, 2011 and you can even see the 200 period moving average here is almost like a straight hill up. And then at the beginning of 2012, Apple gapped up and almost went completely vertical. Look. It's like a straight line. The chart rallied so hard here, you can see the 8 period moving average and the 20 period moving average is almost like a straight line up. Then came in a little bit. This is in 2012 and then rallied into the fall last year and broke out to new highs, all-time highs and went over 700, a little teeny weeny bit and then gapped down and it's been falling down ever since. So if you wanted to trade Apple as a string trade, you could have already done it and you could have done other different trades throughout this period of time. However, this was a great trade to take right when the golden gaps set up, which was on September 24th, 2012. You could have entered Apple as a short as a swing trade. The price was 690. Stop over 705, risk was $15 and that would be 200 shares. You would have risked about $3,000. Now, you didn't have to risk 200 shares. You could have only taken 100 shares and risked $1,500. The exit was in November of 2012, November 19th. Now, it did actually drop past that, but the clear exit was on the 19th at 541. And the total profit was $29,800. So the total result was 9.9 times profit on the amount risked in just one play. This is a huge result in two months. This is almost 10 times the result in one trade. And by the way, this is a swing trade. This isn't even a day trade. My system can be traded for day trading, swing trading, or core trading. And the reality is that to make 10 times the risk to reward in a swing trade is very, very great risk to reward results because most swing trades do not pay this kind of risk to reward. Many people when they're looking to do an overnight or swing trader looking to make one to one, two to one, three to one is a dream world for a swing trader. To make 10 times the amount of risk to reward on a swing trade is phenomenal. And my golden gap strategy, the rating system, the gap system itself, will offer very good risk to reward payouts, whether this trade is a day trade, swing trade, or core trade. It doesn't matter. Why? Because it's the quality and detail in picking the gap in the system. So it's one of these things where you've really got to understand gaps. And if you do, you can take a trade like this and have an amazing profit in just two months. There's a huge importance in directional bias. What is it? You've got to get it right in order to make money trading. This is the one thing. It's not like if you're going down one road to get to the goal in a trader and another road to get to the goal, you're going to end up at the same place. No, it's not that way. In trading, you do have to get in the trade in the stock in the right direction. You can't go long something if it's going down. You can't go short something if it's going up. You have to get in the right direction. There's no two ways about it. This is a great thing about my 26 point rating system. It tells me, Melissa, go, go this way, go in this direction. Take the stock in this direction, Melissa, go this way. If you go this way, you're going to make money, Melissa. That's what my 26 point rating system tells me. Otherwise, if you go in opposite direction, you're not going to make money. In fact, as a trader, you will lose money if you take a stock in the wrong direction. There's a huge importance in directional bias in trading. You've got to get it right. Is this possible? Yes, absolutely, of course. But you have to learn to read charts correctly, and you have to have a system that tells you how to do that and gaps tell you how to do that. Because gaps are a reflection of the price in a stock. So there's an importance of reading gaps correctly, and it's what? They are telling you what the trend is. They are making the trend. They are breaking the trend. They are changing the trend. They are doing the trend. Gats are telling you what is going on in stock in reference to how to take the direction correctly to make money as a trader. So learn how to take advantage when opportunity arises in big stocks, but change their trending gaps. Once you learn how to trade gaps, it will change your entire perspective on trading and making money in the market. Learning the golden gap system is an opportunity of a lifetime. It is the opportunity of a lifetime to learn how to trade a stock like Apple correctly and many other market stocks. And it's an opportunity because I'm the only person out there, the only trading educational company, the only woman, the only trader that is teaching gaps in this detail of a matter. And by the way, I'm teaching them in a way that is the opposite of how most people are teaching gaps. And yet I'm finding myself personal success trading gaps in the market and teaching people how to do this as well. So take the golden gap course. This is a class that I teach. The upcoming course is going to be in two weeks, August 3rd and 4th. And in the class, I teach you how to pick the right stock symbol to trade. I teach you how to pick the right direction to trade the stock based on the daily chart. I teach you the correct entry to trade the stock and the proper timing to exit the trade to book the money. Very, very, very important, okay? Because this is, again, how you're going to have the profit. You've got to learn to get in at the right time and out at the right time. Apple was a great long for a very long time. But if you didn't exit that properly, you gave back a lot of money if you were long in Apple and you could have even lost money. So there's a complexity and detail in the golden gap system. The golden gap rating system looks at 26 points in a daily chart to determine if the gap is highly rated. If the gap rates 20 plus points, then you will know that you can play it in the day to make money. The golden gap rating system is also designed for traders to pick a stock symbol that will provide a momentum move and Apple is doing this and doing this beautifully, I might add. The biggest feature of the golden gap course is the intricacy in the rating system. This is what gives you an edge in your trading and it is vital to reach charts in a detailed manner. This is what's going to help you give you an edge to be able to take good trades and make the money. The golden gap teaches an exceptionally high level of technical analysis and that is the way that I trade. All the 26 points that I use on a daily chart of a stock are based on technical analysis and this is how I'm reading Apple. I'm using the gaps in Apple and the intricacy of the rating system that I teach in order to read the price patterns in Apple to determine what it's doing, what it's saying and where it's going. There's a huge advantage in getting the detail of 26 points. It's going to tell you to go take the stock in this direction with a high level of accuracy and if you do that, you're going to be able to make money in the market. And let me tell you something, making money for a living trading is one of the best jobs that there is. In fact, I can't think of a better job than trading. You can train gaps and be done in the morning for half an hour, an hour a day and make money to support yourself working. It's like less than a part-time job. It's like less than even 20 hours a week. Now, I read charts outside of the time in the market. I do that constantly to review my own work but the time that I actually spend trading is like one-tenth of the time that I used to spend at my full-time job when I worked several years ago. It's really an amazing career. You do have to learn how to do it. But once you do, to be able to do this from your home is it's just a dream career. So learn the tools you need to trade. Learn the information that's gonna tell you how to trade. Learn the right knowledge and information. These are the tools. And these are the tools that I teach. I teach information. I'm teaching it to you. I'm empowering you with the information to go out into the world and trade successfully. That's the whole idea of the system to empower you to do it. I teach a complete system. The 26 points in order to rate the gap, it tells you which direction to trade the stock, the entries to enter the stock, the exit, support, resistance, all the things you know. If you wanna be successful in the market, you can have a puzzle that is missing pieces. You have to have a puzzle that is all the pieces. A picture isn't complete if there's a missing piece. Two, three, one, it doesn't matter. You've gotta have everything. You've gotta have everything in the system. So the Golden Gap course is the class that I teach. I'd love to hear from you. If you'd like more information about the class, email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com. The dates of the class are August 3rd and August 4th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The cost is 24.99. It is called the Golden Gap. It is a professional bearish gap system. People have asked me, can you use the system to take longs? Yes, you can. You can flip the points in reverse to rate bullish gaps. I prefer to just do bearish gaps. These are my favorite. Why? Because stocks that go short, that drop, tend to move faster than longs. So you can make money faster and quicker and they actually drop more than long seem to go. So your path to success is the Golden Gap course. You've gotta get on the right path if you wanna be successful as a trader. A lot of people waste weeks and months and years trying to learn different things all over the place, not just in stocks, but even in futures, options, forex, they'll try anything they can and they're not on the right path. You've got to get on the right path to success. And for me, that's gaps and I'm teaching it to people and there's an amazing power in the gap. There's a power of momentum. There's a power and accuracy to be able to read the price patterns in the charts. That's why it's profitable. I also teach a class on trends. This is a great class because it tells you how to look at something in the direction that a stock chart is going. It actually teaches how to read what's going on with a trend in a chart. And one of the number one reasons why people lose money trading is because they do not get the direction right in their trades. So the trends course is about learning how to read trends. It's a course on how to read trends in stock charts. The cost of the class is 9.99. However, I'm offering a special for August. The special for August is a combo class. Take the gap class for August and the trends class at one price of 29.99. This is a savings of 499 dollars because the gap class is 24.99 and the trends class is 9.99. So if you decide to sign up for them both, you get a discount of 499 dollars for both classes. It's a great deal. And you can do both classes in August and have everything you need to go forward into the fall to trade successfully. So if you're interested in this combo special, email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com and I will see everyone at the free lecture on Apple. It's gonna be very interesting.
