Please put your hands together and welcome our hosts who are presented today from thestocksquish.com. Please welcome to the Stock Squish LLC. We own a company called the Stock Squish LLC. And today I'm going to talk about following hedge fund money in the market to make $1,000 a day consistently. And actually, I'm a day trader, so we're going to be talking about day trading for those of you that are long-term investors or do swing trades. The topic really is going to be about day trading to be able to consistently make enough money that you can trade the market for a living. And I have a method to do that that follows hedge fund money in the market, which is power money, or what I call power money in the market. If you'd like more information, you can email me at Melissa at thestocksquish.com or feel free to go to my website, www.thestockswish.com as well, and like me at any one of these social media places too. Alright, so let's get going. Let's talk about hedge fund power. Becoming a successful trader and investor really requires becoming a specialist in defining where the hedge funds are buying or selling a stock. And I think if you want to make money in the market consistently, and the key word there is consistently, you have to become really an expert or a specialist in something that you're doing every day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, okay? That's how you get the consistency of the money of $1,000 a day. Comprehending how to redefine a trade with the power of hedge funds and institutions will have a huge positive impact on your profitability as a trader. Why? Because they have a lot of power and move stocks. They have devised a way to read the footprints of these hedge funds trading in the market. This is really how it's possible for one individual like you or me to become successful in the market and not only that to become wealthy. If you are trading on the side of hedge fund money, all you need to do is ride the coattails of the institutional moves, flowing with the power and not against it will produce consistent and large winning trades for you. And again, the ideal word there is consistency, okay? Because that's where it really starts to add up. And if you want to make millions of dollars in the market, the only way that will happen is if you're trading the side of institutional money and really this is again hedge fund money. Huge, huge blocks of positions that come into stocks, whether they are buying positions in stocks or selling them or shorting them, okay? Because hedge funds can short too. That is how you really can just ride the tails and make money as an individual. Meaning you don't have to have millions of dollars yourself to be able to do very well in the market. It's about trading with power. Knowing how to read what hedge fund money looks like is essential to becoming a successful trader and you can win big on this side of the power. This is one of the reasons I'm so good at what I do in my trading. So ask yourself why you're trading if you are now. Like how much money do you want to make? Why are you doing the moves that you're doing in the market? Why are you taking some of the trades that you're taking? Do the trades you're taking make any sense? Are you trying to make just a little bit of money when you take some of the trades or you want to make a lot? It's really about thinking about what your goals are, okay? Training on the side of hedge fund money is the only way to make consistent real money in the market. And by real I mean substantial enough that you could do this for a career. Otherwise you just get run over, jostled around and basically end up nowhere, meaning that you would be back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, winning, losing, winning, losing, and eventually really just giving money back to the market and commissions. Why trade at all? Well, I decided to trade because I wanted to do it for a career. And if you make a thousand dollars average on a day, you can do this for a career because it totals, you know, 20 grand a month. And that's enough money to earn a living. So for me I did this and decided to do this and embark on this journey as a career choice. I think the more serious that you take trading, the better that you will become and be. So even if you're doing it part-time, you still kind of have to look at it like your career, like a job, a part-time job, but still serious enough that you're going to take it seriously about what you're doing, the choices that you're making and the trades and the risks that you're taking. Making a thousand dollars a day trading is really enough money for an annual income and you can make a career doing this. You can, it is not some crazy notion. Why? Because there's a lot of money in the market. And if you follow what the hedge funds are doing, even for a short time of the day and getting in and getting out very quickly, which is what I do and we're going to talk about today, you can make enough money to actually pay your bills. If you think about buying luxury items and you can't afford it, you know, the market again has an unprecedented amount of money in it so you can make more. You can get to the point where you can buy things that you never thought you could afford once you start to get good at trading. Maybe not right away, it's the first day, the first week, maybe in a month, a few months, okay? This is how you get better over time. And for me, when I also started to trade, I really wanted a job with a lot less hours of stress. I did mortgages for a very long time and I was working nonstop, seven days a week. And if you're in this place where you're working nonstop and you don't have a good quality of life because you're working so much, you know, this is one of the very appealing things about trading the market as well as a career. If you want to make it happen, you really have to look at the overall bigger picture. If you have any of these dreams about trading the market or more, then you have to look at the bigger picture of how to make these dreams a reality for yourself. Like, actually have a plan of action to do it. In the bigger picture, it's important to see the power and stocks in the market as a force, a force to be reckoned with. I'm sure many of you know this if you've ever traded and you've had a loss, you feel like the market's a force when it takes your money. Actually, it's a force to when it pays you, okay? And I feel that coming in when I take my trades and I make a lot of money really quickly. Stocks in the market have loads of power, momentum, potential and money behind them, okay? And this money comes in through these institutions and mainly hedge funds that are in the market with the banks. It's about having a certain level of respect for this, for the power. And really, it's again the money and aligning yourself correctly with it. This is a chart of the QQQs. I don't know where we actually closed today. This was earlier, earlier that I did this chart in here. But the market has had a beautiful rally in the last week. When it was sideways for quite a while, really almost only back since February and all the long time I was calling the market was higher and it finally proved that I was right in the last week. But all along the way in here, I was reading everything was happening in the QQQ or the overall market sector here at the CTF and I continued to say that the market was going to lift higher and it finally did it after weeks and months of me saying that. How was I able to predict that this move would happen here? And by the way, this is going to continue. It's because of the fact that I know how to read power money hedge fund money in the market and saw that it was still there, okay? That it had not sold out of the market and was going to continue to get bought, okay? It's about having respect for the money so that you trade with it correctly and that in turn will play out in your own profitability. So let's talk about hedge funds here a little bit and the power of them, how much money are we talking about? It's millions of dollars, millions of dollars. In fact, it is billions of dollars. It's so much money that these hedge funds move in the market that you can't almost even picture it in your mind. If you try to picture like a vault with all the money in the world that you could try to conceive of it, it's still, you probably wouldn't be able to picture it. We actually stuffed it all into a vault. It's really hard for most regular people to conceive but that is how much money exists in the market. We see that when we see the price action in stocks. So not only is making $1,000 a day realistic in the market because of the fact there's billions of dollars in the market, it's doable for anyone who has the right focus and commitment. So I've devised my own method to quantify in the market where the hedge funds are running their money. And I teach a class on how to calculate that. The class I teach is called the Golden Gap course and this course teaches a strategy on how to trade gaps by looking at what hedge funds are doing in stocks. The course teaches a 26-point rating system to find the best stock to trade each day. And the course also teaches you what direction to trade the stock in the day. So you're following with the hedge fund money. You have to be in the position right, whether long or short. The course teaches you chart analysis and technical analysis on an advanced level and this is how I treat. So let's look here at BBY. This is a daily chart and this is a chart of BBY from last week. It was Friday. So you have to look and say who's in charge. Is there a hedge fund that's taking charge of this here on the day of this? The BBY, this was Friday, was a short and I shorted this and we'll go over this trade in a little bit here. But the stock gapped. Now, for those of you who don't know, a gap is when the closing price of a stock on one day at 4 o'clock Eastern time is different than the next day when the open happens at 9.30. So BBY closed at like 34 something and then gapped down the next day to 33.50 something. So it gapped. You look at the gap in BBY where it's trading and you have to determine then and I have my method to do this. If the hedge funds are going to buy this, are they going to sell it or short it? And you need to know that before this all takes effect because you can see here now that BBY opened around 33.50 something and dropped a dollar something on the day. So you can see that it fell if you had bought this on the day you would have lost money. If you'd shorted it as a trader, as a day trader, you would have made money. So you have to determine who's in charge here. Are the hedge funds coming in to buy this BBY today or are they going to sell it or short it? Here's another good example here. This is SWI. This again is another gap from Friday too. Stock closed up here around 47 something and gapped down here to around $40. And this had a massive move. The stock ran more than $5 in the day. Again, who is in charge? What did hedge funds do with this? SWI, this is a ticker symbol. Again, this is a daily chart. They sold out of this stock on the day. So if you went to buy this as a trader you'd be against what the hedge funds were doing and you would have lost money. You had to be on the side of the power. The power was the selling action and that's why the stock dropped $5 in the day. Again, the idea is to take the trade at a good price so that you can get this move before it happens. And I have a method to define that before the stock actually even opens. It's really reading the footprints of what a hedge fund is doing. And I do this looking at the pre-market data of when a stock is gapping. And you can also do this with ETFs and you can do it with the market like I look at the QQQs for example. When I say you're reading the footprint you're reading when the money steps in or steps out. In the case of Netflix here this is a good example of hedge fund money coming into Netflix. This is a daily chart. This is a daily chart of Netflix. This is way back in April. This was an earnings gap on Netflix. The stock had closed here and gapped up overnight. Now the price difference over here is off because the stock now has had a differentiation in the cost of it since last week, since the earnings last week. But the concept still is that the stock got bought in this gap that happened back here in April. So the institutions and hedge funds bought Netflix back in April. They also bought it here last week. Okay? So this action in here creates a footprint where the buying comes into the stock and this is a Netflix and so you could have bought Netflix on this day or even for the longer term or you could have bought it on this day as a day trader even for the longer term. So my method tells you that you could buy Netflix or sell it on this day before this move happens. Okay? Because again after it happens it's too late. You want to get in the trade during the day on the live day as a day trader in the morning so you can get it before all of this buying has to come into the stock. So how can I tell the footprint of power of these hedge funds? I have a rating system that quantifies what the stock is going to do in the day. I designed a method to find stocks to trade that have a high probability of directional bias for the entire day. Number two, big moves on the day. Number three, early confirmation of my bias in the move between 9.30 and 10. And number four, precise entries with follow-through and a good risk to reward. And that is what my method defines because this helps you have the consistency to be able to make a thousand dollars a day if that's your goal. So I have a checklist. The checklist tells me okay, and what direction to play it. And I consistently use this checklist every day, every day of the week to help me determine what stock I'm supposed to watch. Whether I'm supposed to watch Netflix or whether I'm supposed to watch SWI or whether I'm supposed to watch BB1. So I know which one. And then I watch it on the day and the checklist tells me the direction that I should do with it whether buy it or sell it. Because it is hedge funds and big, big institutional money in the market that actually makes these gaps and moves them. And that's how you can make money. You've got to pick the right direction to play the stock or you're not going to make any kind of money consistently, whether it's a thousand dollars or even a hundred dollars a day. And the fact that the stock is gapping it's an event that's happening, a price event in the daily chart of a stock. And it creates a sense of urgency in the stock, whether it's panic selling or panic buying. This gap event is forcing participants of the stock to take action and do something. And this is why gap trading is incredibly powerful and why I trade a different stock every day. Every day I trade a different ticker symbol because I never know on any given day what's going to be gapping. So trading gaps is a very powerful and profitable way to trade because you're trading on the side of power money which is again institutional money in the market which is again hedge funds and banks even in the market too. Now what do I mean by golden gaps? This is what I name my system but it's really a gap that moves in the direction of the gap. So I'm looking to go long if it gaps up if it meets the 26 point criteria or I'm looking to short it if it gaps down if it meets the 26 point criteria. It's really called a golden gap because professional traders and investors are making and creating the gap. And by that again I mean hedge funds, hedge fund traders. So bullish gap professionals are buying the stock therefore the stock moves higher on the trading day and in the case of a bearish gap professionals are selling and are shorting the stock therefore the stock moves lower on the trading day. This is really why I prefer bearish gaps though because gaps that gap down have two things happening in them to create the gap. So I prefer to short. I like shorts because they have double the potential for the move because they have a selling action and the shorting action. So that's what I really really like about my preference to short but you can go long the same thing. So my strategy really directs you to trade on the side of hedge fund money. And it's about having a set of principles for why you're doing the trade at all otherwise you'll never be consistent. You'll never be consistent or be able to do this for a career as I said whether it's $100 a day or $1000 a day if you don't know exactly why you're doing something and a system helps you do that. My rating system helps you stay structured and you have to know why you're doing it and have conviction this is why I'm doing this. I have 100% conviction the stock rates this and the hedge funds are going to come in and buy it or sell it and therefore I'm going to go long it or short it. What are the underlying principles behind why you're taking a trade? If you are a trader now you have to think about this. What's the reason? What is the framework for buying something or selling something or even shorting something? Having a checklist like I do is like your own set of principles it's a blueprint it's a blueprint that tells you what to do and how to follow the stock correctly on the day and having a focus is extremely, extremely important. Now I have this drawing here I made these circles because it differentiates where most people are at with their trading and where I am at. So like here's me every day I get up I'm looking I use my 26 point rating system to find a golden gap I'm looking for what the hedge funds are doing on the day are they going to buy or sell the stock and every day I get up and I'm looking for the exact same thing I'm looking for this exact same red circle every day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and I either find it or I don't there are some days I may not see anything that the hedge fund is going to do with the stock on a day then I don't trade that day but I have a set thing I'm looking for that's the same every day and this is the rating system over here might be a completely different person this isn't me they get up every day and they're looking for something different maybe the market looks higher should they look for a long maybe the market looks lower so they look for a short and by the way most people can't read the market accurately every day so then traders are usually off with that maybe one day they're doing scalping maybe one day they are doing buy setups or something maybe one day they're doing static types of trades every day they're buying support over here every day they're doing something different buying and selling and shorting and doing different things in a million different stocks with the market against the market all over the place not looking for the same thing every day whereas I have this so because I have the consistent eye I have the consistent money so I'm consistently looking for the same thing when I find that I make the money when I am consistently looking for the same thing with my eye I have the consistency with the profits many people are not consistently profitable because they're doing a different thing every day I get up in some days if I don't find what I like I don't do anything so do you see the difference in this and this it's like common sense it's actually very clear but many people just don't trade like this but this is where you want to be if you want to be profitable and I don't care on what level you want to be profitable whether it's $100 a day or $2000 a day this is where you got to be to make it in the market this kind of jerky action gets you nowhere okay you have less losses when you have focus and it also takes away the anxiety of what direction to enter trade you know that you're going to go along this or you know that you're going to go short this okay now let's look here at the ones from Friday I did talk about this SWI earlier SWI got down and I rated the gap using my 26 point rating method in the morning to determine if this was a long or a short I determined it was a short so the stock actually ended up playing out as a short it was a really really big short actually but I looked at this before the open to determine what it would do so it's I'm predicting it because after the fact it doesn't you know good okay here's a one minute chart of this so now as a day trader I trade in the one minute chart but my strategy my system is looking for what the hedge fund is doing in this chart but then on the one minute chart I'm taking the entry so the short was right in here boom out of the gate in SWI and it literally fell off a planet and this is a great great great example of the power of hedge fund money selling out of a stock actually the stock opened and swashed and that's something I'll go over in another webinar but it's a play that I do in the market it's something that happens that I created that actually is what I need my company for this move okay was phenomenal and it happened very quickly do you see the drop down here happen within 10 minutes and you could have reshorted it in here again too so let's look at the trade the short was you shorted it at $40 the risk was 50 cents if you took 1500 shares of this and risked $750 this is not the lower the day this is just into the first drop and the next target would have been 37 bucks you could have made $4500 just in 10 minutes and this is what I'm talking about about the power of being on the side of what a hedge fund is doing because you would never make in 10 minutes over 4 grand if you didn't have power money pushing the stock like that and it pushed it all day because actually the low of the day was like 35 something or whatever okay so this is how you can do it but you've got to find the SWI in the day and there are many many stocks actually that gap so it's not just even finding stocks that gap that gap down or up and then buying them or shorting them you have to quantify them because there's many things that gap and many things that gap I don't touch and wouldn't touch for the 10 foot pole and you've got to know how to find them and then also take the entries in them now there was a second play in SWI I call the second play in this right in here so this is the first play you're out then it rallied back again we're on a one minute chart here and the short was right in here many people wouldn't have thought to even short this again probably would have thought that the stock was done for the day or that it was supposed to get bought because of the huge drop-off that it had but the answer is no how did I know that to call this trade because SWI per my golden gap 26 point rating system rated as a short and it was going to play out as such and therefore it was something to short because of the selling action and not to buy okay and I'm sure people tried to buy this climactic in here that are day traders and they got stopped out and here's the big red bar going through the low of the day 30 which people that bought this in here which was a terrible thing to do it was a short anyways here's the short trade in this and here's a drop-off in here so you could have done this twice here and here if you did the second trade it was $38 was the short stop was better it's 25 cents risk needs to be the same all of your risks in your trade should be close to the equal so 3,000 shares is the $750 risk on SWI exits 36 bucks because that was one of the next targets but it did go to 35 something in this trade alone you could have made $6,000 time in the trade that was longer you're in it for an hour and ten minutes this is a later time in here to take a trade but you could have done it and you could have done it and held it down for huge profit so if you did the first trade and made $4,500 in this and risked $750 and to the second trade you could have made $6,000 and risked $750 in this would have been $10,500 so you could have made $10,500 in one day of work in SWI you would have had to risk $750 in the first trade you would have been up by the time you took the second trade even if the second trade failed which it did not you still would have been up in the day over 3 grand and this is the power of trading on the side of hedge funds that move stocks in the market this is the power of what I know that I can pick the right thing every day to know what to do to short it or buy it because I quantify the gap there are many stocks that gap all day long in the market the market gaps every day and many of them don't set up don't work right and don't do things we're supposed to do but I have a method that I use consistently to do it and I've been doing it now for 7 years okay now let's talk about shorting a little bit here again SWI is a perfect example of how shorting can happen so fast for you to make money it's not that I don't like to go long but I really prefer to short just because of the fact that shorts happen and come in and take over stock and the selling can happen so quickly so something could run and drop and go 2, 3, 4, 5 dollars in the day like that very very quickly and out of the sky and all the move that SWI made was in the morning I mean literally it set the low of the day in the morning so who made SWI fall on the day regular traders know that regular traders did not make it fall on the day hedge funds and institutions that sold out of their positions in SWI made that stock drop like that out of the day no amount of traders could have shorted that and made that move down in that stock on the day okay that was hedge fund money that was selling out of it very very very powerful now does anyone have any questions before we go over the next trade here talking talking does anyone have any questions while we're going along the next one here that I want to talk about again was BBY I mentioned this earlier this was another beautiful fabulous gap from Friday as well the stock closed up here the night before and gap down here and had a nice sell-off on the day so you would get up in the morning look for BBY to determine what you want to do with this buy it or sell it or short it and it was a short so as a day trader you would have looked to short the stock on the day so I'm looking to get in on the one minute chart find the gap on the day only and then look to get in on the one minute chart and here's BBY a short was here and it dropped and actually this you could have stayed in even longer too as you see this went to a bigger target as well this went into the afternoon though this did not set the low of the day in the morning you would have had to held this through past one o'clock to get this bigger move but as a day trader all I do is just need my money out $1000 out boom out and that's what you do you just go in every day and take it and done take it and done the price of the entry was $33.25 risk was $0.25 if you took 20-100 shares you're risking $700 exit was $32.90 into the first drop so you could have made a total profit of this and that's what I did I'm just showing you my P&L here so I had 2800 shares of BBY on Friday and had my go done so it's just one of these things where if you really want to trade very very very very quickly every day you just up the money you're up the money you want to make you done sometimes it happens in 5 minutes sometimes it happens in 10 minutes and if you want to hold things longer later into the later period you can do that okay like BBY did go down like I said until after 1 o'clock you could have held it for a bigger move but if you could trade consistently every day and just chunk it out and make $1000 out all of a sudden you have a month now you have something like SWI that just falls out of the sky obviously you follow it down but this idea of taking a trade and honing in the way that I do I'm just so focused that I see the move the stock is making I see how it's acting I see how it's trading I do what I take the trade I see the money I'm up I know my goal for the day I know the numbers I know the targets I'm very very very precise in what I do which is one of the reasons why I'm able to be so consistent and I say to people you know for a period of time every day 5 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes 30 minutes an hour you can I am when I trade in that beginning time period I am perfect for one hour and you can be that way too it's challenging to be perfect from 9.30 to 4 it's too long of a time of that expectation of yourself okay so how much money can you make trading gaps infinity infinity and beyond there is no limitation to what you want to make it does have to do with how much you want to risk okay but as you increase your risk so you will make more as well it has to do about the size that you take in the trades whether you take a thousand shares or five thousand shares and something drops a dollar in your short you can make a thousand dollars or five thousand dollars it's a big difference so it has to do with your sizing the share sizing you take and it really all comes down to correctly reading the side of money the side of the real money in the market which is in hedge funds there are institutions that are in the market because they move stocks like BBY and SWI and I am reading the price correctly when I am determining whether I am shorting it or buying it and I will step back from something if I see that a hedge fund is going to buy it even if it is capping down then I won't short it you have to really know how to read price correctly to know what to do so what I do is I trade a system with institutions in the market I do it all year long I do it every day and that's how I am able to be consistent with my profits and everything that I do with my trading so the class I teach is called my system is called the golden gap system and as I said it is a 26 point professional bearish gap reading system the purpose of the system is to help you evaluate which gap to trade each morning using a checklist and that's how you get there as a day how you are going to get there consistency, consistently doing the same thing every day consistently looking for the same criteria every day just like the circles consistently having the same goal every day and making sure that you book the money when you are up that amount of money not giving it back to the market and also stopping after you have that amount of profit so how are you going to get there you are going to learn how to trade in the side of institutional money learn how to read power money in a chart learn how to read the trend and learn a system and a method that teaches you all of the above and more which is my system you really got to focus on the right information if you want consistent profits it is not about moving averages it's not about Fibonacci's it's about the price it's really really very common sense oriented again looking at the price of what the stock is doing in the gap and gaps show you price on an advanced level which allows a trader to predict the move or it doesn't trading gaps is a quality strategy because gaps are created by institutional money and hedge fund money and knowing this helps you get conviction to trade and then you take the trade and you take the risk that you need to make the profits trading gaps is a powerful strategy and this is how professional trade you can use a sophisticated level of price information to enter trades and take sizable positions so taking sizable positions really is what is going to help you attain a new dream of whatever that happens to be but making $20,000 a month is certainly a nice income for most people this method this system that I trade is something that I teach and it's a skill it's a skill based system and it's something that you definitely can learn if you want to take my class you can learn the 26 point checklist and then that tells you what to focus on it's the right information whether or not you should watch SWI or SWI or what specific stock that you should be looking at that day whether to buy it or sell it and again it's a skill it's a skill set many many people want these fantastic types of things the other expectations are all out there just buying a black box thing or I'll just buy this indicator or I'll just buy this or I'll just buy that I'll just plop it on my screen whatever it's not that way you learn the points and then you go in and you rate the gap each day to determine which one to do so again I teach a class it's called the golden gap course it teaches the strategy and how to trade gaps the course teaches a 26 point rating system to find the best stock to trade each day the course also teaches you what direction to trade the stock of the day and the course teaches you chart analysis and technical analysis on an advanced level does anyone have any questions while I'm talking here so if you're thinking about learning my method why would some of the reasons be to take my class well to learn a strategy that you can use to make money in the US stock market because that's what I'm doing to learn a strategy that offers momentum moves in stock every day to learn how to trade gaps if you don't know what a gap is you'll learn from me to learn how to read charts with advanced technical analysis which is what I do every day to learn a strategy that is profitable time frames the one minute, the two minutes the daily to learn how to read stock charts and price patterns, very important to learn how to pick which symbol to trade in the day because I trade a different symbol every single day to learn how to enter the stock and determine the targets which many people do not know how to do and to learn a new career that you can do from home and I trained from home which is very nice and very convenient and certainly to be able to make this kind of money and this kind of time frame and to be able to work from home is extremely convenient so my class teaches one solid strategy which is gaps, multiple entries and plays, how to trade the open which the trades I showed you were into the open after 9.30 how to book money consistently in today's stocks advanced chart reading skills and then basically really how to get conviction in trading and the market as a source of wealth and I think there was a lady that just she just did the class I told her she has to write a testimonial she just did my class she did a trade today and she made over $1900 and she was so ecstatic she wrote about it in the room and I shared it with the room once you get to the point where you see that kind of money in a couple of minutes it is amazing how how terrific it feels and then you really start to get conviction in the market and then you know you can do it the problem is that many people never never get enough knowledge and never learn enough and have no idea what to do or what stocks to watch to even kind of make that money so then nobody ever has conviction that they can once you have that kind of day and more and you know a lot of days like that you really realize that the market is something that can pay you and then you see the power of the market and the power of my system and the power of what hedge funds can do in stocks how they move them and how you don't want to be against them you have to be with them it's the only way to make money so taking a class and educating yourself really can help you become a better trader and like the example I just used today I mean that almost paid for my class the trade the lady took today but she knew what to do she learned it she followed the things that I was saying and that's really all they have to do looking again at the bigger picture I talked about this earlier one important key factor in becoming a successful trader is keeping in mind the bigger picture while living in the now you can live in the now with your daily trading decisions the bigger picture in mind of where you want to go and who you want to become as a trader if you do not keep the bigger picture in mind the market will consume your daily thoughts and you will never reach the bigger picture goal trading is a career choice and a lifestyle choice in the bigger picture many traders forget about this in their day to day activities and you can't you can't because the fact is you do need to have your goal in the bigger picture that you want to be successful and you want to learn it learning it that's what the short mind did and you don't want to educate yourself on how to learn how to do it you're never going to make this money and you're never going to make it consistently so it's like what's the point it's like a waste of time you don't want to go for the quickies you want to go for the bigger picture which is making money in the market over the long haul something you can do for the rest of your life something you can do as a career and actually sustain yourself that you know that you could quit your job and actually day trade for a living when you're consistently doing it and you know that your system works and you have conviction in it and you see it happen you see it manifest itself and play out so many days and then you have the money too backing it up which helps the confidence and conviction that you have okay it is a career choice if you want a day trade to make $1,000 a day and again it is possible and something to do if you're one of those people who's looked at the time of the year I can't believe half the year has gone by but it has been done now by the end of 2015 and what do I want to start doing for 2016 you know look at this where do you see yourself in six months in a year five years ten years is this too far off to consider it's not okay time really really flies half the calendar year is over if you've been thinking about learning how to trade for six months or even following me for six months I know some of you come back to many of my webinars some of you have been following me since the beginning I think that's adorable but I just wonder how many of you are going to follow me until I'm not teaching anymore never get to learn from me you know it's like time keeps going on and I'm getting better and I'm making more money and people are making money with me and you have to think like what am I doing with my life and if you're trading and losing you have to take a step back and really kind of decide what is it that I want to do okay microphone go on and off that was weird I don't know what happened but before you know it okay the year could be gone the year could be up so you really really have to think about what you're doing because time keeps ticking on Kathy can you hear me? yeah that was weird I just saw the thing go another thing to think about is what is your plan for retirement and I ask this now because a lot of people you know are concerned they're not getting the type of raises that they used to be they're not getting the 401k matches okay rates and IRAs and things are nowhere near what they used to be years in the past it's challenging for young people to save for retirement or think about retirement and if you're in your 30s or 40s you've got to start to think about these things traders tend to be too short-sighted okay and I don't know why that is except for the fact that you all want to make money but if you're too short-sighted you actually won't make money on the day or even in the long haul so it's like a catch 22 Eric is saying do I have testimonials on YouTube? no but there are testimonials on I think it's testimonials Kathy what's that one website there are testimonials on I think another some other site I think it's called testimonials if you look that up and just double check that I'm pretty sure that's what it's called if anyone would like that information exactly you can email me it's a completely different site all together email me at melissathestockswitch.com if you'd like that information but I think it's testimonials Eric if you want to be wealthy and again this means different things to all of us you really need a plan of action somebody asked me this this morning he asked me what do I consider to be wealthy and I answered it and he was like wow that's mega wealthy and I was laughing and chuckling to myself because you probably had no idea the number I was going to say but it's really interesting because unless you're born into money or win the lottery no one becomes wealthy overnight just be realistic if becoming wealthy is one of your goals and it's one of the reasons that you want to trade which is one of the reasons I wanted to trade then you need a plan of action then they follow but a plan of action is more than a trading plan a plan of action sets your course to achieve your goals and it's down on paper and that's the great thing about my 26 point rating system it's down on paper you can fill out the sheet you do the worksheet every day you're looking for the points, you rate the gap it's right there in front of you how much are your risk gain initial risk, second risk first play, second play, target it's all there and then you have to decide how much you want to make trading and then you have to decide how you're going to get there okay and know what that is so what's the plan of action to trade successfully to make a thousand dollars a day in the market number one, take the golden gap course if you want to learn this method from me number two, learn how to trade in a demo even you can do this for a month, not forever maximum time in a month in a demo start trading a live account risking beginner risk move to intermediate risk and advanced risk and having a plan of action in place to achieve your desired monetary monthly goal on a quarterly basis for the first year and then ideally after that once you reach your annual trader's income goal then you've got a lot of choices and you can just continue to increase your goal as you see fit can you make millions of dollars trading is it possible yes it is I have made some million dollar calls I really have, some of them have been some overnight calls Netflix was one of them, the market's going to be one of them it's playing out right now I've made some of these calls that if people have been with me back when I made them which I do have some people back then you could, if you had taken the calls okay they were massive trades and I call a million dollar calls because it don't happen that often but there I've made some massive calls one call that I've made that is playing out is the market and some people are in that as an overnight trade right now Netflix was another one okay it is definitely possible to make millions of dollars trading in the market trading is really just a lifestyle choice do you want to work all day do you only want to work a couple hours do you want to work a little bit in the morning and be time for the rest of the day and just make a thousand dollars and just chunk it out okay, I personally do not want to work for 8-10 hours a day anymore I like the idea of working very quickly and being done so give yourself an edge

you in my life it wasn't too long ago that I started trading again after a period of difficult times for the most part it was flat but after gaining experience in the room combined with the knowledge gained in the gap class I finally start making solid profits you've helped me improve so much the progress I've made so far is reflected on my account which by the way is up 48% yeah that's what I thought he was the one that made 50% I will never get tired of saying how privileged I feel for knowing such a wonderful person oh that was cute and having you as my mentor you trade with the accuracy of a sniper I definitely do that and as your expertise and invaluable lessons you provide in the room what has given me the tools and the conviction I need in order to trade like a pro where Kathy got
