 Hello there everyone and welcome. My name is Melissa Armo and I own the Stock Swoosh. And I'm gonna answer a question I receive often, which is, which is a better to do day trades or options? My golden gap system you can use for both options and day trading. And a lot of times people ask me because they're unsure which one they want to do. The reality is that it doesn't matter which one you can do. You can day trade or you can do options and make money. But the fact is that it has to work with your lifestyle and your schedule. So for example, the markets open between 9.30 a.m. and four o'clock Eastern time. We only focus on day trading in the morning between 9.30 and 10 a.m. Sometimes a little bit after that. If you can devote that time in the morning to trading and being at your computer, then you can day trade. Then you can be in the live trading room with me and you can go for it. However, if you cannot be at your desk at your computer and trade between 9.30 and 10, then the best thing for you would be to focus on options. So options, for me, it's a newsletter service that I offer people. If you want to sign up, there's no prerequisite. You can sign up for that. The trades are emailed to you and you put the trades on then into the open and you can even have the orders out before the open. If you want, you can also put sell orders if you can't watch the trades during the day. But it's not like you're just within that period in the morning within the first 30 minutes. So options give you a little bit more flexibility as far as time depending on your schedule. So it really has to do with how much cash do you have as well and what is your time limits and how much time do you have to avoid trading each and every day. Now let's talk about the cash limits. When you're doing an options account, you can open up an options account that's a margin account or a cash account. You can open that up with a broker that usually require a minimum balance of $2,000. In order to day trade, you will need a margin account. You can open up a margin account at a retail trader or a proprietary day trading firm. So again, it depends how much cash do you have and how much time do you have. You can make money day trading and you can make money doing options. I can't say either one is better than the other. It has to do with your schedule. Personally, I like doing both and I'll tell you why. Because if I'm day trading, I know exactly where I stand by the end of the day. I'm flat every day by four o'clock. Sometimes I'm in options overnight and I don't know where I stand. So that's one of the benefits of day trading. I know where I am every night when I go to bed and I don't always have my options until I get up in the morning or if I'm in things for several days. But the benefit of doing options is that you can capture those overnight moves. For example, today, the market gapped down and we were in puts that I called earlier this week. So then you were up more today when you got up in the morning if you were in the trades overnight, into the move, into the gap down, again, the trades worked. But the fact is that you can capture larger overnight moves with options, which you're not doing with day trades. So again, it really depends what works for your schedule. It depends how much cash you have. I don't think one is better than the other. I do like doing both because of the flexibility of getting the overnight moves and also getting the fast, quick trades in and out for the day trades. If you have questions or you're interested in day trading or options or both, you can do both. I have people that are on the options newsletter and in the live trading room each and every day with me. Email me at melissathesuckswish.com if you have questions or you'd like to sign up. Have a great day, everyone.
