 everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh. I'm doing a Shark Week special for everybody out there that's interested in my Golden Gap course. This is a great opportunity to learn how to trade this summer and then take the information into the fall trading period. Right now, it is still earning season and we're finishing it out this month. But the best time to day trade is really when you have the four quarterly earning seasons because you get a lot of movement and momentum in stocks, which makes for great play through when you're looking to trade and make money, whether you go long or short. If you'd like more information, you can email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com. You can also call me at 929-3200 Gap. Follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or Skype. So it's Shark Week. I love this week of the year. I love watching the Discovery Channel. I love watching all the shows. I try to tape as many or DVR as many as I can. I always learn a lot about sharks. They're very interesting creatures and it's become really quite a fun, interesting period. They've been having some celebrities on and it really takes your mind off of everything that's happening in the world. Anything you can do to make you feel happy and motivated right now and just feel joy. You definitely wanna do in during this period of 2020. Now, if you've been thinking about trading, I think it's important to know if you wanna do it full time or part time. You know, when I started trading, I really wanted a brand new career. That was my goal, to transition from being a mortgage broker into a full time trader. That's what I wanted to do. I did not realize that it would take me three and a half years though to create my own trading system, but it did. Once I did, I never looked back. So it's been an exciting, exciting adventure here. But if you just wanna trade part time, that's okay too. You can trade options on the side and still work your regular job. You can trade two days a week in the trading room. I do think you need to know what fits with your schedule and why you're doing it. But you can make money doing it all. You can do options, you can do day trades, and I do teach both. So the special that I'm doing is if you sign up for the main class, which is my Golden Gap course where you learn the strategy, you will receive the stocks with show live trading room and the gap options newsletter free for the rest of 2020, which is a huge bonus. So essentially you will receive all my trade calls for the entire rest of 2020, both options and day trades. And I think that's a good idea because it allows you then to see what you really wanna do and what trades you wanna focus on. Do you wanna focus on the options? Do you wanna focus on the day trades? Do you wanna focus on both? Again, the options tend to have larger moves. The day trades tend to have faster, quicker moves, the equity trades. So the deadline for this short week special is August 14th at five o'clock Eastern time. If you're interested, email me at Melissa at thestockswitch.com to sign up. The class, the normal price is $69.99. So you're getting the bonus of the room and the options newsletter for free, which is essentially getting all of my trade calls again for the end of the year. And I think that really helps people make money trading after the class. You learn the information and then you put it into practice and we do many reviews in the room. We just did a review yesterday, which was really good. What I do is I get up in the morning and I rate the gaps, whether bullish gaps or bearish gaps in the pre-market and then I determine which ones I wanna trade on the day and in what direction. And that's what you would learn from me in the course. So this was a trade that I called from the gap options newsletter in BABA. This was Friday's put nice move down in BABA on earnings. Again, earnings season closed here, gap down, fell. This was a short, okay, and you could have bought the put. So I called the puts at Expire 814. Again, this still dropped, but it was a good move. You could have gotten in and out of one day. If you're on the options newsletter, the trades are emailed to you. So this was BABA, strike was 257.50. Again, expiration was 814.20. You would have bought the put into the open and then it dropped, had a beautiful move. Cost was $5. 15 contracts would have cost you 7,500. Sale price was 1180. It actually continued further that day. It was such a beautiful move. Profit one day was 136% return on investment. And if you risked $7,500, you would have made $10,200. And potentially more because it continued. However, if you only took one contract and spent what, $500, then guess what? You still would have had 136% return on investment. The amount of the return and investment of the ROI doesn't matter if you're using a beginner risk or an advanced risk or an intermediate risk. And I'll talk about those in a different video at a later time. But the point is that you can make money trading options even with a small account. But if you can risk this type of size, man, it just really adds to your week and adds to your day. Especially when you get a trade like that that just goes immediately, which I love those. Now, this was a day trade that we did that I called in stocks with show by trading room. In fact, I think the room is up on YouTube. I've been posting the videos of the trading room. This is a really nice short. Again, I do prefer short. This closed here the night before, gap down. This was an earnings too. Had a beautiful move. And again, this was an equity trade. It was WDC play of the day was on the six. Entry was 3860. Again, I call the trades live in the room. The entry, the stop and the exit. Stop was 3950. Number of shares was 3,000. Risk was 2,700. And again, you could risk less than that. You could have taken a hundred shares. You could have taken 200 shares. You could have taken one third of this risk. Whatever works for you. Exit was a beautiful move. Almost a dollar, 3777. I'll go back and show you the chart in a minute. Profit was 2,490 dollars and 12 minutes. I love those days. To be honest with you, if I could make this kind of money five minutes, 10 minutes every single solitary day, I would love it. Some trades take longer, but again, just love those beautiful moves. But I wanna point out where this went. It actually continued down. It actually broke 37. If you held it really, really nice move. But this was a quick fast morning exit and done. So the idea of trading gaps is that you're looking for momentum. That's what the points that you learn in the classroom meet pinpoints. Where the momentum's gonna go? Is the momentum gonna come into this specific stop? And because that's how you make money as an individual trader. You plop on the sides, you get the move. I'm looking for institutional money when I am taking something long or short. If you wanna work for yourself, if you're looking for a new career or just extra money right now, many people are home, whether furloughed, whether working from home from their jobs, whether they don't have to go into an office. A lot of people are doing different things in their lives right now in 2020. And people need extra money. You can make that in the market if you know what to do. And again, it's important, I think, to have a mentor, someone to follow who can explain what's going on to you. And it gives you the conviction to put your money on the line and take the trades. So the Shark Week special again that I'm doing through this Friday is, if you sign up for the Gold and Gap course, which the normal price is $69.99 by August 14th, you will receive the Gap option as newsletter freeing through the end of the year and the stocks will show live trading room freeing through the end of 2020. The sale ends on the 14th. So if you're thinking about joining, it's a great time to do it. It's been an amazing year and I've been extremely focused this year for a variety of reasons, but I'm one of those people that's inside too. So the nice thing is that you can trade and work from home in a safe environment. And I think that's very important for people right now during COVID-19. Good luck, everyone. If you have any questions, you can call me at 929-3200 Gap or email me at melissathestockswush.com. If you wanna sign up, you must email me for sign up forms. They are not on the website. And again, the deadline for the special is August 14th. Enjoy Shark Week, everyone, on the Discovery Channel and have a great and profitable week.
