 Welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the stock swoosh and I'm going to review one entire month of trains newsletter trades options trades from the gap options newsletter. This is from the month of June and it took me a while to put this together but I've gotten so many questions. What can you expect on the letter? How many trades? How many winners? How many losers? What return on investment? And you know are there a lot of trades in a week or a month? And so I thought this would be a good idea particularly because we're getting into the end of the summer beginning of fall period for earning season. So earning season starts in about three weeks. When earning season starts we have a lot of trades. We have a lot of gaps and we usually have a very active season. The month of June and why I picked this particular month was towards the end of the second corner earning season. So there's four quarterly earning seasons in a year. So this was not an overly busy month is the point. So this is probably an average to slower month. I may call more trades on a busy month for example in the month of October November will be busy months when we have a lot of gaps and there will be a lot of earnings trades. I do gaps for news. I do gaps for earnings. I do gaps with the market. We'll go over these here. I did not put the charts in this presentation. You can look up the charts yourself. So I have every single letter the timestamp the letter when it was sent out and then the trade and again the trades are emailed to you in live time. I do not have a monthly subscription to the newsletter or a quarterly subscription to the newsletter. I have only an annual subscription to the newsletter. It works because you never know how many trades you're going to get in a week or a month. So you really have to be committed to being on the letter for the entire year. I think people get the benefit out of it by deciding how many trades are going to take per day and per week and assessing their risk accordingly based on their level of experience trading options and the size of their account. So this is an advanced trader risk that we're going to go over here. Again I've been trading since the end of 2008 so almost 13 years. If you are new and you have a small account you should be risking a beginner amount. You can take options with a cash account. You can open up an account trading options at any retail broker with as little as $2,000. Your risk has to be a size accordingly. You can take one contract. Your risk should be close to equal or similar to equal in every trade you take. Will that mean that you cannot do some of these trades? Yes, some of the ones are very expensive. If you have a small account you can't do. But again I'm calling plenty of trades in a week and a month for you to benefit from the calls on the newsletter. So this is a whole month. I'm going to go over all the trades. If you have questions, getting my information here. Oh there's me and Steve Forbes. I haven't been to Fox Studios in a while. Let's see if they get people back in 2022 for live, live hits. If you have questions you can email me at melissa at thestockswish.com. You can call me at 99-3200 Gap. You can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. Okay and if you want to sign up for the Gap Options newsletter again go to my website www.thesstockswish.com. The newsletter is $69.99 a year and you can sign up at any time. As soon as you sign up you'll start receiving the newsletters. Again it's on an annual basis. So if you sign up you know October 1st you'll be paid through into 2022 October 1st. So everything that I do is based on one strategy. What? It's based on gaps. I make money using one strategy in the market. I'm telling you that's the way to do it. If you want to do this and you want to make money you have to be consistent with what you do and I find that the focus that I get for rating my gaps each and every single solitary day really helps me stay consistent with my trading. Too many people are doing too many different strategies and they're all over the place and they're changing their mind every different day and also a lot of people are trading and don't even have a strategy. Now I do they think they have a strategy they're doing something but it's really not a strategy it's what I call a setup where you play. I'll go into that in detail in another lecture but people are trading without strategies and they're all over the place doing different ones and they never consequently get good at anyone's strategy. I'm good at gaps because this is all I do and I coined my strategy and called it golden gaps because it's like finding gold in the market. You will not learn my system by signing up for the newsletter. If you want to learn the system you have to sign up for the class. I teach the class once a month but I do think taking the class helps you with the letter. There's no prerequisites so for the newsletter so if you just want to sign up for the newsletter for one year receive all the newsletters boom there's no prerequisites you don't have to do the class. I think the class helps you though okay so that's my two cents on that any education helps you in my opinion. So for the month of June we had a 68% win ratio for the trades. There were 21 winners zero break evens 10 losers and 31 trades. Average just per trade this is an advanced trader risk which we're going to go over here today was $8,000 total profits 189,075 for the month and average attorney investment was 100% which is good. If you have time to watch the trades I do have the targets in the letter. If you do not I would just buy the caller put or whatever I'm calling in that particular day and I will put a sell order at 50% or you can put a sell order at 100% but if you can't watch it I really would put a sell order at 50% to make sure you get out because 50% is a good profit okay and not every trade will go to 100% so if you have time to watch it though for targets I would that's my two cents. Again some people are doing this part time and they're doing other jobs some people are trading full time it's up to you but the targets are included on the letter so we're going to go over each and every trade this was from Tony you know people are making money in the letter again I don't think it's that difficult because you're following momentum I'm very specific in the letter which you'll see you've got to take profits and you do it and we have more winners than losers which is important that's how you make money and again a 68% win ratio is pretty good so this was the first week of June an expiration date of 6-4 I called Amazon expiring 6-4 was caused the 3300 calls this was back 526 expired again June 4th this trade did not work now again how do I play every trade I play them to win or lose so like if I call a trade on a Monday to expire on a Friday and it's down the first day I don't kill it before Monday before 4 o'clock I don't do that so I give trades a chance to work that's me some people kill them if they're down 50% some people kill them over down the same day I call it and it doesn't go I don't do that okay just so you know so I'll let it just run out and sometimes trades work okay even the last day so just because somebody doesn't go immediately doesn't mean it's not going to work but in this case here this Amazon did not work this Amazon lost so this was a losing trade back the expiration date which was June 4th and just a tip I would still sell out of your trades at zero even on the last day we're still in them just to get in the habit of selling out of everything because I think that's important because you don't want to forget to get out of trades that are winners or you're going to end up buying the stock outright in the shares again that's an explanation and a lecture for another time but I get into a good habit of just selling your trades the last day sell it for a penny if you can sell for 10 cents whatever I call this five calls again was bullish here in the market at this point uh 420 calls expired 64 I call this 527 this trade had some value left in it for the last day was not a total loser but basically did lose okay cost was three sold at a buck 50 so saved some out of the cost of it but ultimately wasn't losing trade by the end of the day did not go did not work right this was the 420 spies again you can take one contract spend $3 which would be 300 bucks you do not have to take an advanced trader risk but again all of your trades should be close to equal or similar to equal in your risk that you take in your trades NVIDIA beautiful gap 527 called the 630 NVIDIAs expiring 64 these were calls again a call is a long you're going long we went long this bullish gap exit was 528 great trade again you take it one day you exit it the following day it blew up cost was a dollars which was not cheap again one would have cost you 800 but more than paid sold a 22 profit 14 000 returning investment 175 percent great trade went to the target surpassed the target's beautiful trade and again this was a bullish gap this was a call okay we do calls and we do puts so I get up in the morning and I'm rating the gap you do not have to know how to rate the gaps to be on the newsletter again if you want to do the class to learn the rain system you do it it's the golden gap course if you just want to get the trades in the letter you sign up for the newsletter many people just want to sign up for the newsletter they don't have time to do the class on the weekend and they just want the trades that's 100 up to you I also stacked these because I love this gap in this rally call the six fifties this was on Friday the 28th expiration date 64 this continue okay cost was six sold 11 profit 6000 risking 7200 return an investment 83 percent nice trade I just want to go back here show you the time of these actually you see this was Friday morning about 10 15 but this previous one here was right before the open 925 so most of the time I will call trades I'd say a majority the trades are called in the pre-market before the open could be eight o'clock in the morning could be 9 15 9 20 before the open but usually pretty early okay now sometimes I will call later trades if you call 10 15 late but that's what happened here okay so just letting you know the morning is the time to be focused to do the trades and get in the trades very important time gotta be your desk you see here this altar was called at 837 this was a call 345 calls again expired the fourth this altar did not work it just never went right this will cost nine dollars a contract's risk was 7200 again let it ride out did not play out you could have killed this at 50 percent loss but I ride them out to see where they go and this just did not go right so altar did not work we'll see where that does this next learning season did another call on the spy for the follow-through here 425 called it on 6 1 expired 6 4 I'm usually doing the weeklies just so you know in this case here it did not work this time either so this just was stubborn again this was June despite the fact the markets been bullish we just didn't have the follow-through around this particular week in the market so this lost this was from Monday I think it was Monday or Tuesday to the to the Friday okay yeah that was the Memorial Day weekend that was Tuesday but it felt like a Monday because it was the day after the holiday then we did 6 11 the next week okay again I'm doing the weeklies so 6 2 I called the apple 125 calls beautiful move okay exit 6 4 it did it again look at this thing to do something and then take it and get the move I'd say 24 to 48 hours so the call the 6 2 exit 6 4 and the expiration date was June 11th but I actually could have ironically I could have called this with the expiration date of June 4th it would have been a little bit tight I'd try to give slight cushion with time with options but this was still a pretty cheap price of the buck 50 for one contract for a week and a half out so 60 contracts where it was 7500 sold a 2 profit $4,500 returning investment 60% that's a good trade remember for every trade if you want to hold something and you could have held some of those navities longer you're you're you're not booking the profits and then also you're holding up your money that you're using in the trade to hold on to the trade to take the trade so if you book the profits one of the profits you've guaranteed the profits when you book it once you book a trade that you're up you can't lose in it and then obviously have the money back in your account to take another trade so I think that that is something that people have to be aware of to remember trading we're chunking it out chunk of chunk of chunk it but this was a nice trade and I could have called the timing tighter really and it and what would have mattered it would have been cheaper so the it would have been less than about 25 at that point okay did another navinia Wednesday the second six seventies this just flew for the following week since 11 but again took it got out boom got the momentum got the move cost was $10 a contract risk was a thousand sold at 38 profit 22,400 return and investment 280 percent a fabulous fabulous trade again any trade that goes and blows through 100 percent is a just a phenomenal trade and we have trades like that I'm good enough at what I do to call trades like that your expectation is not that every trade is going to go like that but we absolutely do have huge trades again that's my experience my ability to be able to see the momentum that's going to come into something once I see the gap and rate the gap and the quality of the gap and how high the gap rates that I can determine if it's a really good trade and again sometimes I will do what we did with this one well I will just stay on top of it stay on top of it and and do different strikes in it okay which is exactly what we did with this navinia and we did another one too so this was the same day I think hold on yeah six two called the 665 again worked expired 611 six contracts cost $13 risk 7800 sold at 42 profit 17,400 return and investment 223 percent this is again why I think it's important to determine how much money do you want to lot to each day and each week you may not want to do more than one navinia you may not want to be in more than one trade at a time or you might want to be in two or three or four as many as a call depending on the cash that you have to to risk but this was just such a nice gap and I think everybody just piled on in this because because we had even done this the previous week but this really ran up huge trade again you could have taken one contract and still made over 200 percent it would have cost you $1,300 for one contract which is reasonable then I also called the 675 navinia as it expired the same day but again had the move take it book it get out get the momentum cost was $10 a contract risk was 8,000 sold at 35 profit was $20,000 return and investment 250 percent what a nice trade okay again to to to get these kinds of gaps and remember this was the end of earnings season so we're definitely going to get trades like this in October and November in the thick of earnings season I mean they're there you just got to look for them in the market you've got to find a spot in the gap and then we did the 700 navinia again it ran up I mean this really was phenomenal uh 611 expiration cost was $4 20 contracts risk was 8,000 sold at 18 profit 28,000 return investment 350 percent now why was this one so much bigger return in investment than the previous strikes why because on this particular day again time of the day I called this one was really early 956 okay early in it was far away from the strike now while $4 may not seem cheap to you again one contract was $400 it really kind of was in navinia but this was so far away in fact I don't have this chart in here let me just pull this chart up here to show you that's one of the reasons this was one we were in early and two again this is my ability to be able to just read price actions so well oh you're not going to see it right because the stock split shoot gosh darn it now it's not right now because this stock split since then so none of the members are going to make any sense but the reality is it was far away from 700 when I called this oops on this day that's why the return in investment was so much bigger for this particular trade called it early far away from the strike ran up big profit 28,000 risking 8,000 anyways the stock has split so the price in the video now it is not going to make any sense with this to show the chart I wish I had kept some charts of this maybe I'll have them somewhere so that was a nice trade and then later on that morning I called the 720s of course it worked too cost this is 290 25 contracts were 72 50 sold at 950 profit 16,500 again stacking the trades away from the strikes and you can do this if you're on the letter and I call something and you think the first one's too expensive which were close to the strike do one far away if one's going to work they're all going to run out do you know what I'm saying it something can be profitable even if it doesn't go to the strike or through the strike and forget in the direction right in the timing and that's what matters profit was 16,500 in this return in investment 228 percent again these trades were called on June 2nd exited June 4th but the expiration date was June 11th okay again that was far away from the strike too then on June 11th this week Tuesday 6 8 called Amazon 3300s when after this again again it was calls exited on 6 10 this trade worked so you see I did the one it lost a state on top of this Amazon cost was $12 7 contracts risk was 8400 sold at 48 profit $25,200 return on investment 300 Amazon isn't cheap I will say that but this this particular one for $12 that is cheap for Amazon I gotta be honest with you but again it ran up this was a call it was a long called it on one day exited the other day right before the expiration nice trade so it was from a Tuesday to a Thursday and 300 again you will get trades like this with me in the letter I'm that good at calling directional bias in stocks and also seeing where something can go even as far away because that was cheap for Amazon Apple the 128 expired 6 11 again calls we did a lot of calls this month this wasn't a total bust but it was a partial loss cost 110 sold at 60 cent save some on this just didn't go right wasn't going to go there didn't work so this was a loser albeit not a full loser spy for 24 calls again called with an expiration date of June 11 called on the 8th this was a partial loser 80 cents sold at 2400 was the loss okay this did not work save some out of this then on Tuesday the 8th I called the 338 QQQ calls this was a small profit on the very very very very last day it's it's interesting because it would have been up a lot more if I'd taken it out to the following week but then sometimes I just don't want to pay for that cost was 240 sold at three made $800 25% return investment the very last day which isn't bad so this this worked but it was just a little bit too much for the last day squeezing it out this would have been this would have been a bigger return of investment if I'd done it out for the next week but I would have paid out more for it but it worked as a winner June 18th expiration stitch fix this is out tonight we'll see where this goes tonight strike with 70 calls June 18th this did not work at all it just was a bust it never really went went right again I play things out to give a chance but this just kind of flocked flocked flocked flocked really could have done it for the 11th because it flocked called it on the 8th I gave that time it just didn't even matter time did not matter for this and very often it doesn't you know we're we're we're trading momentum they've got to go if they're going to go or they're just not going to go so why even give them the more time do you know what I'm saying that's kind of my attitude about these things RH 670 strike this was calls expired on the 18th this didn't work this lost you could have saved something out of it but the bottom line is it just failed um exited on with a partial partial loss on the 18th the very last day but it didn't work right tesla 615 strikes expired June 18th again called this Thursday the following Friday this was calls too uh this again was cheap for tesla to be honest with you across this 14 sold at 13 it was pretty much almost a break even just lost 500 bucks it should have worked but it didn't but sometimes things again go in your right direction but what you pay for them they squeeze it out too late you can see here it was the carryover from the previous week from Thursday to the following Friday and even though it moved the right direction it just eked out and didn't go Microsoft 257 15 expired 618 calls this was on Thursday the 10th this trade worked it was 44% return on investment cost was 225 sold at 325 profit was 3500 this is a little trade some trades are just trades you take it you book it get out you take it you book it get out okay it has the move boom you take it get out there's nothing wrong with that some people get out of everything the same day if they go green i again i don't do that but you could theoretically Nvidia 705 we did this again expiring June 18th and guess what it worked cost was $12 risk was 8407 contracts profit was 5600 a return on investment of 67% and again this was a quick in and out expire the 18th exited the 14th apple the 129 calls went after this one again this was a nice trade immediately with very cheap 80 cents sold for two everyone likes the ones that go the same day a column i get it and especially everybody likes the ones that are big return on investment in this was 150 50% percent you took it the same day got out the same day boom boom a fabulous fabulous fabulous trade everyone loves this the qqq 342 calls june 18th expiration 225 costs 35 contracts risk was 7875 sold at 360 profit 4725 return on investment 60% nice trade again get in get out get in get out you'd have taken this on the 14th and got out of the 14th again that was combined with apple okay to move up so the next following week was the expiration of 625 we did new videos again 720s expired June 25th this was calls cost was $12 again that was a good price for new video sold at 37 profit 15 000 returning investment 208% took it the one day got out the next day took it got out the next day 24 hours is good again this was called early 947 on the wednesday okay but didn't expire the following week but ran up the following day nice trade i mean this just was a really nice move i wish i could show you the chart before it split spy 417 we did a put expired june 25th it didn't work so started shorting the market around here then this was a difficult time in that month of june we weren't getting followed through with longs in the market and we weren't getting followed through with shorts in the market but we had a gap down here it didn't go through right apple of 135s did a call expiring july 2nd nice trade again an apple stacked it called it on this 22nd exit on the 23rd cost was cheap 70 cents sold at 140 profit $7 000 return investment 100% you could again just set your order you can watch the targets but you can just set your order too if you want to less stressful for you if you really don't want to worry about watching it or even if you just can't watch it you know you don't have the time to watch it okay 24 hour trade then we did tessa which can move pretty big too called in the 23rd exit 24 strike was 640 expired 72 this was $23 for one risk 6900 sold at 60 profit 11100 return an investment 161% a great trade tessa can really move these aren't cheap but it can move people fabulous and to have a move like that quick is good because again this didn't expire to july then the expiration date of july 2nd we didn't have any again strike with 770 expired on the 2nd calls of course cost was 18 dollars risk 7200 for an advanced trader risk sold at 33 profit 6000 returning investment 83% again you could have done one and spent $1800 and made money so again you can take one contract but your risk should be the same or close to the same on every trade you take i wouldn't say this was a fast trade well i mean you would have taken the thursday and would have got out the following week it was still before july then we did microsoft 270 expired july 2nd cheap buck 30 sold at 260 again just put the water in to sell you at 100% if you don't have time to watch it called on 624 ran up and again why don't kill things i give things a chance to work because this was called 944 on the thursday and didn't run up to when 629 plenty of time plenty of time to go okay then we did the 430 calls in the spy this finally went dirt cheap 55 cents really really cheap for the market sold at 95 cents profit 6000 73 percent return investment i get this question a lot we do things that are liquid i like to do liquid options liquid stocks i like to day trade liquid stocks we don't do anything that's low volume tesla 700 calls a lot of calls in here took it on the 24th as of the 25th 12 dollar cost sold at 21 75 percent return and investment profit 5400 again tesla is fun to trade and you want to get big moves on that because the stock should move big in that based on the cost it's great to trade stocks in this price point and not have to worry about margin that's the benefit of doing options you do not have to have buying barrel for something that costs 700 or even amazon that costs over 3000 you can take something and spend 1200 that's a 700 stop this is a benefit of trading options you can trade options with a small account and not have to worry about margin so i get up in the morning process of the gap rate it rate them get organized rate the gap using the golden gap checklist that's what i do okay so i am rating the gaps for the newsletter participants then i send out the trades my focus every single day is to make money that's my number one focus that is what i do it's one of the reasons that's good to trade with me because i like to be right i like to make money if you want to take the class you could sign up for the newsletter take the class later i have a lot of people that have done that they say i want to learn more i know the system works now i'm doing it i'm making money in the letter i think it's time for me to take the class but you achieve your goals by chunking it out you can easily make back the cost of the course in just a few trades if you follow along you can see this here however the larger benefit is truly learning the system so that you can use it for the rest of your life what
