 Melissa Armo is your host and presenter and we'll be starting promptly in just two minutes. Topic today, trade 30 minutes a day to make 100K a year. This is presented by Melissa Armo sponsored by the Stockswish LLC. That's the Stockswish.com. Thank you again everyone and welcome. Hello everyone, welcome at the sounds of Trump. Most of you know that means it's time to begin. Please put your hands together and welcome. Our host and presenter today from the Stockswish.com. Please welcome Melissa Armo. Online trader essential for having me. Let me know if everyone can hear me today and see the slide. It's a red PowerPoint slide. Can everybody see it? Okay, great. If you have any questions as we go along today as I'm talking, you can just type the questions here in the room. I'm the only one that can see everyone's questions, but I will answer the questions as we go along. We should have enough time today. Okay, welcome. Having said, my name is Melissa Armo and I own a company called the Stockswish LLC. I'm actually a day trader and I run a live trading room and I teach people the one strategy that I personally trade. I only trade one strategy in the market. It's on gaps and that's what we're going to talk about today. It's a strategy that sets up very quickly in the morning at a very specific time period, which is right into the open between 9.30 and 10. I trade the U.S. stock market, which opens at 9.30 a.m. and in this 30-minute period, a lot of volatility happens in stocks. With that volatility, if you know how to train this open period, you can make a really nice amount of money. Today's topic is to trade 30 minutes a day to make 100K a year. If you would like more information after the class, you can email me at melissa at thestockswish.com. I didn't go follow me at Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, any one of these places. I'd say the best place to go and subscribe is my YouTube site. Just go and click on Stockswish under YouTube because I put a lot of videos and webinars there and in fact, I'm taping this right now. It'll be on YouTube tonight. So welcome. Welcome and thank you for coming today. Hopefully, you're here with an open mind and you're ready to learn something new. Now, before I start today, I'm going to give you a tip. This is the Stockswish tip of the day. Buy a strong stock before Wednesday. Now, why am I saying that? Because there's an FOMC announcement on Wednesday. My prediction is that it has a positive effect on the market. Therefore, if you want to be long in a stock or you could be long, the S&P or the QQQs before that hits, before that econ comes out, before the meeting on Wednesday. So you have tomorrow, today's only Monday or even Wednesday morning. Best thing is to be long bullish in a strong stock or the market. Now, GJ asked a question, does this apply to ES futures? Well, in the case of futures, you would be looking at a chart, like for example, this is a daily chart. And so I trade gaps in a daily chart. You would be looking at the charts for the overall market indexes. That's how you would use it for market ETFs. So yes, but you would be looking at gaps in the ETFs in the market. Does that make sense, GJ? You'll see as we go along. Anyways, this is the tip of the day. Now I am actually in, this is a chart of Amazon. I bought an option today for Amazon. It doesn't expire till next Friday, but this is a good long position here. It's a good bullish chart here in Amazon. Amazon and Google are two of the strongest things right now in the market. So we're going to get right into it. Maybe you've been thinking about day trading, which is what I do. You haven't done it, but you're just thinking, well, I don't have time to do it. I don't have time to do that in my full-time job and do all the other things in my life. And maybe you're looking for more time. More time for yourself. Maybe you have a full-time job and a part-time job where you work weekends. The great thing about trading is markets close Saturdays and Sundays, and you don't have to work. So if you've been looking for more time for yourself, getting ready for, to have a good year, basically, because it's still early in the calendar year 2016, if you want more time for leisure, trading can give it to you as a career if you really want to do it. More time for leisure, more time for freedom. I have every afternoon off. Like right now I'm here. It's raining outside in New York today. So I didn't go out today, but every afternoon I have free because I only trade in that first part of the day. I don't work long hours. And if you're somebody that's working, you know, 50, 60 hours a week, maybe a salary job, whether you work 50 hours a week or 35, you get paid the same. The nice thing again about day trading is you're only trading when the market's open. And this type of trading that I'm doing in the first 30 minutes is just between 9.30 and 10. And also you can go on vacations and work for yourself when you trade for yourself. Like if I want to take off, I can take a week off whenever I feel like it. The market's still open, but I don't have to be there. It's not the same when you have a job and you work for someone else. You have to ask for time off, plan it all around their time. And I know a lot of people, because I've talked to a lot of people in the last four years and have had the business, feel very heavy and weighed down by life. Like that they just can't seem to turn things around. And one of the things that I've been able to do through teaching people how to trade, teaching people how to make money trading is to help them turn things around mentally so that they can feel more positive that they can change their own luck and circumstances. I truly believe that we can create our own luck. Part of it is having an optimistic and positive attitude. If we don't have that, we have nothing. It's always me kind of thing doesn't ever get you anywhere in life. It's the same thing with trading. I fully believe and have conviction in the trades that I take. Does it mean that everyone works? No, but quite frankly, a lot of them do. You have to get to that point where you have the right mental attitude and we're going to talk about that a little bit today too. So you've got to start to envision the life that you want. Believe that you can successfully trade the market and believe that you can make this kind of money that we're talking about. Six figures a year or more. Life is really not about working 24-7. I don't. 2016 is a year to have the life you want. And me personally, I have a lot of big projects for myself this year that I'm very excited about. And last year, I won a magnificent vacation. I went to Con France and I would never have been able to do that. I went for two weeks if I didn't trade the market. It's the kind of thing where you have to set goals for yourself and then you have to find a way to work to achieve those goals. And you've got to open yourself up to the possibilities of life. And a lot of it has to do with your mental state, with your mind. Thinking and believing that you could do it. If people are trading the market and losing that they don't even think that they can make this kind of money. Not only do they think they can make 100K a year, they don't even think they can make a dollar. But where are you going to go then? Why are you even doing this? You have to change your mental outlook and believe that you can do it. And I'm going to break it down to you here in a couple slides and show you how possible it is. But you don't want to wait. It's still early in the year. You either go full speed and go with it and you do it or you don't. Okay? But you need a plan of action how to get there. And you need to know where you want to go. And you just have to decide, this is it. I'm doing it. This is my year. I'm going to make money trading. I'm going to learn how to do this thing. I'm going to take it seriously. I'm going to get focused. I'm going to get a plan of action. If not, now when? And you have to decide. This was ZoomZ. We're going to go over this. This was a gap that happened last week. It was a bearish gap. It was a short. I go long and short, but I prefer to short. The reason I prefer to short stocks and again, even though I said take a long before Wednesday because of the market. The reason I prefer to short stocks though on a daily basis is because that shorty momentum comes into stocks really, really quickly. It comes in fast and quick. And I do not like to be in trades long. I just don't. It's just a personal preference. I like to make money fast. The quicker I'm in and the quicker I'm out, the less than my money is at risk. Okay. So think about what is your plan of action for this year? If one of your goals for 2016 is to earn more money, what is your plan of action to do this? How are you going to do it? If you're going to earn more money trading, how are you going to do it? One plan of action could be to learn how to trade to make money in the stock market. And if you decide to make money in the market, you will need another plan of action, which is what? How will you make this money trading? You need a comprehensive, detailed, focused, and specific strategy to trade, to make money trading. Now this is very, very true. It's similar in the morning. I get up very early in the morning at 5 a.m. every day and I go work out into a spin class. And then I'm back and I've got my workout done and I'm prepared to trade. And then I'm done working very early. The early bird gets the worm in the market. It's the same principle. Same principle with life and successful people. You get the stuff done that you've got to get done as quickly as you can. And I happen to live on the East Coast, so for me, you know, I get up early. If you live in the West Coast, you'll have to get up earlier. If you live all the way on the other side of the world, you'll be trading in the afternoon if you're in Europe or even farther away. But in reference to the stock market, the early bird gets the worm, meaning the people that make the money happen to get in the trades early in the morning. 80% of the moods that stocks make happen into that opening period because institutions train and take positions on or off by positions or sell positions usually into the open and also sometimes into the close. Except for I don't like to stay and sit at my desk all day and watch the market or do nothing between 10 and 3.30, because that's what you have to do to get the closing trades. But in the morning is usually when you get the most momentum when hedge funds, banks, and institutions are putting positions on and off. And they have this all planned out ahead of time. And usually a lot of it has to coincide with moves to the market. Economic news that happens are even earnings that stocks have. And stocks have earnings out at night after 4 o'clock and also in the morning as early as 7 a.m. and sometimes even earlier. So it's about the time of the day and the institutions and what they're planning on doing with their money that this is how you can make money trading this period. Institutions take positions on and off. So they will buy in and sell stocks into the open which is between 9.30 and 10. Sometimes it happens in 5 minutes. Okay? So the most lucrative time of the day to trade as a day trader or even to take a position for a long-term trade because you might get a better price is between 9.30 and 10 a.m. Same concept again. Into the open or into the close. Stocks make 80% of their moves into the open. Panic action happens and comes into the stock and into the open when the stock is gapping down usually which is what I like to do we're going to talk about today. And people panic and sell as a result of the gap. Sometimes the stock will gap up. We're going to look at some of those examples today. It's not the idea of the panic of the selling but it's the idea of the excitement and the anticipation of something rallying and then people want to get in it quickly, quickly, quickly and go long the stock into the open. Is there that excitement? And they want to get in before the stock goes up and higher. Because of course people want to make money getting in the best price they can if they're going long the stock. The time of the day matters so much so much when you trade. There's a difference between winning and losing sometimes. Sometimes you get in something and you're saying well this is a great trade. It's a fabulous long. It's going to go here, here, here. Well you might take it at a terrible place or at a terrible time and then you're down in it before you're up. That's very difficult for people. It's very hard for people sometimes to get into a position and be down as soon as they take it and then have to wait. I hate doing that. I like to take a position right in a ways with a perfect entry and a perfect time and get out quickly with them up. So a lot of it has to do with the time of the day. So you start your morning off early. You prepare to trade in the morning before you've been doing anything. I prepare to trade way before the open. Like I said, I get up to the gym and in the morning come back. I start looking and scanning for stocks between 7.38 o'clock and then I spend about an hour getting ready before I train and I start the room around 8.39 o'clock. I start talking and I know exactly what I'm trading exactly what I'm doing even before the market opens. And the benefit is then that I'm done. I'm done very early. By 10 o'clock, 10.15. So trading in the first 30 minutes is like getting a suitcase of money thrown into your lap some days because the moves happen quick. But you've got to know what to watch and that's why you have to be prepared ahead of time. So how will you know when to spot the opportunity? How will you know to take it before the open? Because that's when you have to be watching it when the market's open or you won't get the trade. A lot of day traders make the mistake of waiting until 10 o'clock or later until after stock is either red or green on the day to decide whether to shore to go along it. And many, many times what happens is the move is already done or 80% of the move is done. They don't get the risk to reward. All the momentum is almost out of the stock and it has already moved and unless you've got the direction right with the market correct, you don't get any more play in the stock the rest of the day after 10. And you don't have the same risk to reward entries which we'll talk about in a little bit. Anyways, I devised a method to rate with a checklist to determine the pick. The pick in this case here on this day was Groupon, okay? So the stock closed the night before here around $4.60. Then the stock had earnings. I forget it was at the morning or at night. I think it was at night actually. Anyways, the stock gap down, okay? So the stock gap down here on the night. It opened here in the morning when the market opened at 9.30 around $4.30 some cents, okay? And do you see the stock fell on the day? So the low in here in the day was like around $4.00 something close to around $4.15-ish. So if you shorted the stock on this day-as-a-day trader, you made money. And if you got in it very quickly, I'll show this chart later on, you made money quick and you could have gotten out. And again, whether you get out at $4.20, $4.15, $4.10 or $4.00, who cares? If you get it in early enough, before it drops, you're up money. Okay? So why is trading the first 30 minutes of the day very profitable? Number one, because stocks gap early in the morning. They gap right into that open. Because stocks that gap force an action by position holders of the stock. For example, let's go back. So again, for those of you that don't know what a gap is, I'm going to quickly just tell you a brief review. When a stock closes at one price at 4.00 eastern time and opens at a different price, that's a gap. It could be up or down. In fact, over here, Groupon did a bullish gap. This was way back in February. In the middle of February, the stock closed here around $2.90, gap up. This was a gap up. You could have gone long Groupon here. This was around $3.30. So the stock closed at one price here at 4.00. Opened at a different price here at 9.30. In this case, it gapped up. In this case here, it gapped down. Either way, it's a gap. But how do you know how long it is? How do you know not to short it? How do you know to short this and not go long this one? I have a system that I divide as a checklist to read it. Anyways, let's get back to what I was saying. This forces an action when it gaps. And this action forces position holders of the stock to do something whether it's buy it or sell it. And that's how you get the move, the momentum. And these momentum moves happen within the first 15 to 30 minutes of the day because people need to get out and they have to get out fast. And sometimes particularly, like in the case of the Groupon 1 from last week, they want to get out as quickly as they can because they might be losing money. You might even call it panic activity at times. The value in this first 15 to 30 minutes of the day is that the stock sets up set ups provide good entries, which I'm going to show you on a smaller chart in a minute with small stops. You get the small stop by playing the stock on an intraday chart and you get a large move. So therefore the risk to reward can be huge. Meaning you can double your money in a couple of minutes. That's great. That's fantastic. Okay? So now how do you do it? Again, the plan of action. How do you train to be successful and make this kind of money? You finalist of stocks that are gapping. You can do the bullish ones or the bearish ones. You can make the gaps. This is the checklist that I go through every day. Then you play the highest rated gap in the day. You can do anyone you want. You can do all of them if they rate good. I usually like to focus on one. And you only play gaps that rate over 20 points or more. I have a 26 point checklist, but I'm trying to focus on ones that are 20 or more. That's my benchmark. I'm not looking for perfect score. I'm looking for 20 or more. And I do not train where there are no good gaps. This is also very important as well. I'm looking back to the market and crappy trades. So you may not take a trade maybe on a day, but it's nothing good. You trade aggressively when there are perfect highly rated gaps, which you will know when you learn the golden gap system. Okay? And you learn this system and you don't need to do anything else, but this one thing to make consistent money in the market. And you can use it for swing trades and overnight trades and day trades and option trades. And again, right now, I'm long, Amazon has been day trading and I've been shorting them to day trades, okay? But all of it is gaps and all of it to know which is the pick of the right pick is with the reigning system. So making money trading gaps is easy once you know how to do it. I don't want to whine about, oh, it's so hard. It's so hard. That's because many traders are all over the place. They don't even know what to do. They don't know if they should be going long or going short or buying this or selling that. And the worst thing that people do is position in something like maybe Amazon and then they'll short it. Then they'll flip around and they'll buy it. Then they'll lose in one trade and lose in another trade and should they buy it? Should they short it? Should they do this? Should they do that? No. One stock has one trend, directional trend on anyone given day. That's it. Okay? And I'm telling you the trade for the Wednesday into the Wednesday because everything that's strong is going to move massively when the market does on the FOMC instead. It's like a no-brainer. The market is higher. I've been calling it all year. It fell off the planet in January and February. You can go back and watch every video I've done in the market and YouTube, every webinar that I've done that I've talked about it. I can't tell you how many emails I get from other places because I'm on online trader essentials list too. I get every webinar that they do even though I present here. I cannot tell you how many emails I am getting that people think that this is a bear market rally. It is not. The market is in an uptrend. It never broke the uptrend all year. The market is higher. I am long the S&P. I've been long the S&P since December actually. And then it fell and I still kept looking at it. I still kept looking at it and I called it amazing. We've actually are positive on the year in the S&P in the last week. And everyone thinks this is the bear market rally but it's not. Be long the market if anything. The market won't make a new high this year. It's an amazing call and I made it and I predicted it and I did it even when the market fell. Why? Because I've rated all the gaps in the market. I've rated in every bearish gap and every bullish gap. The only way that you can accurately predict what something is going to do is with gas. I'm telling you right now there's 20 million resistance levels and 20 million support levels and anything you look at. Anything you look at. How do you know where to buy or where to sell or what to do or to make money consistently. You have to have a strategy. And I'm telling you the only strategy that has any power to it or momentum into it or any predictability at all because you've got to have the predictability otherwise you can't make money consistently. Whether it's 100 grand or 30 grand or a million dollars you need the consistency and the level of the predictability and I absolutely have it in my system. Absolutely. And the call that I made in this market is unbelievable. It's probably the best call I've ever made with the one exception which is Netflix. But if we have time tonight we'll go over it. But I'm telling you, I'm telling you right now be long a strong stock because the market is ready to blow and it's going to squeeze out all the shorties that think that this market is lower and still aren't giving up on it. And I can tell the market still isn't giving up on it because I was telling the market trading today and we're inching and inching and inching our way up and the shorts haven't given up. But they're going to give up when the buying comes in and the market starts to rally and the point I'm trying to make is that it is so easy to make money if you know what to do. But the problem is that people don't. People don't. Okay. Luckily I do. It did take me three years to figure this out. I lost a lot of money and I figured out what I'm doing right now and I had the guts to do it, to try my own money and lose my own money to figure this out. But I'm telling you it works. Now let's go on to the Zoom Z. Zoom Z. Close the night before up here. This was last week. Closer 21. Something gap down. Gap down to $19 and some change. Okay. Rallyed. Here's a 200-peri-moving average. This is a red line. This is the blue line. Which is the 20-peri-moving average and the black line, which is the 8. This green line, here's the 50. This is a daily chart. You're down and look here on the daily chart. So everything I'm doing with the gaps for the pick for the raining is on the daily chart. So I get up in the morning. I see the gap. Zoom Z. Gap down. Open. Rally. Drop. Short it. Boom. If you are waiting to do this and here, here, here, could you make money? Yes. How do you make money quickly? Boom. In the morning. Okay. So here was Zoom Z. This is last week. Here's the one-minute chart. Here's where you make money as a day trader. The stock closed the night before up here at $21.90-something. Gap down here in the morning. Here's the open. Go across. Here's the opening bar. It was a little wiggly jiggly. Okay. You have to know the stock though. It's fine to trade. Some machines in it, which is why the boroughs look weird. Like with all the tails. Anyways, it opened here around 1960-something. Open. Rallyed. Held. Held the $20 area. Remember, support and resistance are areas. High in here is 2010. It counts. Count. This is a home for $20. Dropped. Broke. Here's the short. Short it. Boom. Stop over here. You're in. You're out. Now, as it turns out, you could have held this. You could have held this. Target was 19. Dream Target in here was all the way down went down to 1850. But you would have had to be in all day. I don't like to do that. That isn't my thing. I like to do the morning. Here's the morning trade. 40 cents. 50 cents. Wherever you get out. Low in here ended up being 1928. So you take it. You hit it. You're up. Boom. Out. But again, you could have shorted this again. You could have shorted this 50 times in the day. But I like to do the move into the morning. Shelf the high in here is 2010. And the low in here is 1930. And the low in day is 1850. Guess what? This made the majority of the move a lot better. It's not to say that you can't train these longer is that they have the follow-through continuation but a lot of times as the day goes on you have to have the market with you. And if you don't have the market with you then things won't play out. So entry time in this was 936. It's a short. I'm shorting it. I'm betting that the stock price in ZoomZ is lower. That's what you're doing when you're short. You say, I'm betting that it's going to drop under 1993. If you don't think it is but doesn't mean you go long it. And the stop is over 2015. Risk is 25 cents approximately. Okay? So if you want to make 100k a year and that's your goal you have to have a set risk amount. What are you risking? How are you going to achieve that goal? 2000 shares of ZoomZ was $500 risk. That's it. Eggs at 1940. Again, the low was 1928. The next four opens green. You hit out of it. Boom. You get fill. Total profit is 1060. This is a great trade. This is a great trade. You more than doubled your money in less than 10 minutes. A couple of minutes you're in the trade, you're out of the trade in 5, 6, 7 minutes. And that's it. 1000 bucks your day is done. But you don't even have to make 1000 dollars every day. If you do you're making way more than 100 grand a year. But the point is that you might have 2 or 3 losers in a month. You have to account for that. But you will have many, many days where you make this kind of money with momentum in the stocks. So you have the goal. You stick to the goal. You're risking a certain amount of money per day. Per trade. You make it. You're done. But I will tell you that if you kept the 2000 shares and held it all the way down and actually went to 1850 you actually could have made almost 3 grand if you stayed in this to the low of the day. But you would have had to be in it for more than a couple of minutes. This is again not what I do. I'm in and out very quick. But if you want to stay longer you can. You could have taken it down. You could have gotten out of half of it. You could have gotten out of half of it here. Let the rest rally back and do a drop. Got the break through and follow the rest down. Booked 500 dollars. Let it rally back. Risk another little bit. 250. Drop. Get the break. Follow it through and here all the way down to the low. There's so many different ways to train this. Again I teach this all in the class. Does anyone have any questions about the zoom Z? Nice sell-off in this. Went through. Went to the dream target for the day. Now as I was talking about earlier. You know this idea of making 100,000 dollars a year. You don't have to roll out of bed and start out trading if you never traded gas before doing this. But that could be your goal. You say in one year from now this is what I want to do. So you say the first month I'm gonna prove to myself I can make 150 dollars a week. That's only 150 dollars a day. Then the next month you say I'm gonna make 1500 dollars a week. That's pretty good money. Comes out to be 300 dollars a day. Totally, totally, totally doable. And you get to the point where you say after that maybe after the second month you set another goal for yourself. You're working to make 500 dollars a day or 2500 dollars a week and that's 130 grand a year. Either way to be able to make 39,000 dollars a year extra income working for just 30 minutes a day is a great, great amount of money for the time that you're spending it. It equates to the time. It's the time element. There are some trades that I take that I make several thousand dollars a minute. There's no other place in the world that I can even make that. Except for maybe in the entertainment world. You have to think about the amount of time that you're spending even to make 300 dollars in a trade that you're spending for three minutes is amazing. Where are you going to get paid that? You have to work all day for eight hours some people to make 300 bucks a day. And again if the goal is to make 130,000 dollars a year income working part-time hours is great. It's amazing. So I can teach you how to make this kind of money and highly rated golden gaps. This is what I do. I name my system golden gaps but their gaps have just happened to rate high in the market. A lot of people have mental hurdles about this these numbers. 100,000 dollars a year 100,000 dollars a year. You've got to get over your mental hurdle and with your trading. If you have this mental hurdle it's going to prevent you from doing well. It's all in your head. Stop working against yourself that it cannot happen. Just stop it. Many, many people have their own worse enemy and you've got to start to make it happen. You chunk it out. 100k a year is only 384 dollars a day. This is totally doable. You don't need to make a thousand dollars a day to hit this market. You don't need to. You don't. Some days you will. Some days you'll lose. But if your losses are kept low you'll be far ahead of your goals in the end. Many people have too high expectations and trust me when I say this I'm talking from experience. I'm talking from experience I'm telling you if I could go back in time and rewind my life back to 2008. You know what I would do? I would lower my expectations. Because at the time that I started training I lost most of the money that I lost right when I started. My expectation was that I was brilliant and therefore I was going to be able to figure this out in three to six months. Guess what? It took me three years. Okay. Lower your expectations and you will achieve your goals. And not only that you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easily and less stressed out you are and you can do it. It's stressful to have these huge expectations and then fall short of them and feel bad about yourself and then hate yourself in the market and then it gets in your head. It's a mental thing then that you have to overcome. You can get ahead. Lower your expectations when you start out and all of a sudden you will find yourself exceeding them and then all of a sudden before you know it you will be at the original expectation that you had for yourself in far shorter of a time frame because you will know what to do. You will have the expertise and you have the skill set. This is a skill. Training is a skill. I'm very very good at what I do. I can pick something and look at something and rate it right away and do it in my head and train and I'm the best fastest trader out there calling stuff in a one minute chart. I do it almost instantaneously. It's just in my blood now. It's a knowing. It's a skill. You learn from me and you will learn a skill. A skill that will last you your whole life as long as the market lives and as long as you trade. You must learn the skill. It's a skill set based thing. Many many people want to come in the trading room and they want to take my trades and that's great and I allow free trials for the run and we'll never get the skill coming into me in a trial and you won't get the skill even if you're there every day even except for the fact that you can't be because anyone joined the room unless they've done the class. Why? Because people need to learn it because you need to learn it and be reliable on yourself because I'm not going to be doing this for 100 years from now running the room and not only that you'll never get good if you don't learn how. It is a skill. You've got to be willing to master that skill like riding a bike or playing a musical instrument like the piano. So think about what I'm saying if you're a trader right now. Get over your mental hurdle to make $100,000 a year and maybe in a year you'll be making $200. What do you need to do this? Stay in control. Stay in control. Don't go off the rails if things don't work out. Don't go crazy. Don't take ten trades in a day if you're playing what's to take one or two. You get a good system like mine and don't even trade if you don't have a system at all. Stop. Stop losing money if you're losing and you don't know what to do. This is a strategy. And buying support and shorting resistance isn't a strategy and it's going to crush some people who are short this market. You've got to get a good mentor like me. Okay? Someone that can actually tell you this is right or this is wrong or don't do that or that's a crappy trader. Take this right now. When I caught Amazon, this was back at the beginning of the year, this was another trade, a different one, another option I did. I told everyone in the room take this trade. Right now I said to everyone take this trade right now, take this trade today everyone in the room just did the trade. That had the ability to take options. The people in the room that didn't work set up for options didn't do it. But I said I order everyone to take this trade. Everyone that could did it and we all made money. Everyone got out of a different place but I was so confident that the trade would work. That's when a mentor says this trade is so good you can't not not take it. And I don't say that but every single trade in the morning. But I'm saying I said that about the Amazon option into their earnings. And you've got to get over your issues with money. People, their expectations are just completely blown and yet they're so doable. But it's the fact that people want to see it right now, the second. Okay? You've got to get over your issues with money. And everyone has them. We're all human beings. We're emotional. We're happy when we're up. We're sad when we're down. I get it. I'm a human being too. I get upset when I lose in trades. It's never not going to be like that. And I get very excited when I win. But I've learned to be more even-keeled about it. To be more realistic in my expectations because I have so much confidence in myself and I know that the market can provide it for me. That if I lose money on a Monday I'll make money on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I just know, okay, from experience in doing this now for eight years. But I know that a lot of people have issues with money. And you've got to get over them now rather than a year from now. It will hinder your ability to be able to do well in this thing. Because a lot of it has to do with risk. Taking risk and being able to put the trade on and believe in it. And also stop blaming other people in the market and whatever, whatever if you're not doing well. And if you're not doing well then take a step back, take a break. I talked to a gentleman this was a couple of months ago. A couple of months ago I was talking to him about doing my class and he never ended up doing it. He was so nervous about spending the money for the class. I said, you know what, take a break. I think you should stop. Don't do anything for a while, okay? Sometimes when you're in that place and you're so scared to take a train, you can't do it. You're like frozen. Frozen, okay? Ultimately people are responsible for their own success. I'm responsible for my success. You are responsible for your success. One of the things this is back this was back two months ago or whatever, a month and a half ago. This was when I was in the Amazon and Google at the same time. And both of these trades ran up. If I got not at Amazon in total and the whole entire trade and Google at the whole entire trade it would have made $31,000 in the span of two weeks. Now I helped some of both of these into the earnings and Amazon didn't end up falling through in the earnings even though it was up a lot in it but I dig it out of the profit and Google did fall through in the gap up in the earnings. Either way, it blew my mind of the fact that I realized that I am responsible for my success. I are responsible for taking options on top of the day trades that I take if I want to make extra money. If I ever want to make a million dollars of your trading, who's going to make it happen? Not anyone else but me. Me and only me. Be responsible for your own success and I was responsible for not getting out of all of these before the earnings which I probably will do the next time because it was so much money. It was so much money. Now the Amazon I'm in right now. I wish money in it could be worth way more by the time that it's over because I bought it at a $600 strike price and today it was almost there. It was $25 away and I got two weeks in it and I took it today. I was up in it already. I am responsible for my success when I take trades and make money and you are responsible for yours and you are responsible for yourself and learning something that works in the market or don't do it but don't blame other people and don't blame the market because that works against your mental ability to be able to do it then once you do come across someone like me who can teach you something that works and I really genuinely want people to do well. That's why I ordered everyone to take this trade and everyone that could did. Now let's get back to what I was saying. So I saw this today. I saw this today. When I saw this this morning and I saw it this morning and it ran up a dollar. It ran up a dollar and I didn't take it and I thought oh my I should have taken it when I saw it and then I pulled back and I left the order sitting and I said screw it. I am getting in it today because I know the market is going to blow on Wednesday just like I said. The market is going to blow and I wanted to be long something and I said this is it and it ran up a dollar today and I pulled back late in the day again into the close when there is a lot of volatility into the open and into the close. I didn't take it and it ran up a dollar and then I pulled back and I said that's it I am in and I was up as soon as I took it and again Wednesday is the day. So I have to be responsible for taking my own trades and you have to be responsible too and for doing the good picks and this was a gap up. Okay. Here was another one, EXPR. Here is a great example. Lots of people say well stuff fills the gap Melissa and why are you going long bullish gaps and shorting down gaps fill themselves. No they don't. No they don't. This was a continuation. EXPR had earnings last week. Stock closed here at 19. Gapped up. Gapped up to 20, 30 something or wherever it opened. Fell on the day. Could you have shorted this and made money in the day? Yes. But it really is long. It really is long and it's not going to fill anything here at all. It dropped, dropped in here. I forget what the market did this day. I only remember. I think the market fell on the day. On the 9th. I have to go back and look. Anyways this fell on the day but guess what? Next day it went, next day it went, next day it went. Followed through. Continuation. Even when I found that gaps rate well on the day that I looked to do them in the direction of the gap many, many times. If they don't work on the day they work after. The next day or the next day or the next day. If they rate well per the 26 point system which you don't know until you get up in the morning and see the gap and you read it. But this was a good long, not a short. And again if you get up in the morning and short this on the day of the gap and it's a good gap then you might think it's a short. It's going to fill the gap and you might take it overnight and then look what it does. And it breaks a new high. You have to look at something and say let me look at this whole thing. Let me look at the whole picture here and see what this is going to do. You don't short something and flip it and go along it. Like for example Amazon. It's a long. That's it. One direction for the stock that you play it and you do it or you don't. Now let's go back to the green point here. I did talk about this earlier. This was a bearish gap from here. Again you could have gone along it back in February. I don't remember the reason for this gap. But anyways, here was the short from the earnings that happened last week. Again, very, very quickly. What happens? Into the open. Into the first couple of minutes of the day. This move the stock closed up here at 450. Gapped down here to 430 something. Low in here is what? It actually sucked the low of the day in the first six minutes of the day. How many times does this happen? A billion. A million in a year. Okay? So you take the short. Stock opens drops. Short it. Putting the stock. Boom. And you just get out. Anywhere in here in the tail. And that's it. You're done. Five minutes. Six minutes. You're done. Could you have shorted this again? Yes. But it took forever then. It did go back down near the low. But that was it. That was the low of the day. Into the open. Price of the short was 427. Stop over 435. If you don't know how to watch Groupon, five minutes. If you don't watch it, you miss it. Again, your risk should be the same. 400, 500. If your goal is to make 100K. And you could have taken 5,000 shares of this short. It's so cheap. So cheap. Exit is $4.10 unless you have an order out to hit you out of the 405. But this made that tail quick. Total profit $850. Again, you don't have to make $1,000 every day. If your goal is to make 384, which per day, which gets you to do the $100,000 a year. $384 a day in profit, you would make 100K a year if you traded that well to do it. But one or two days you might lose in a month. So, some days you won't make 800, 900, 1,000. But that's how you do it. You chunk it out. You look at the bigger picture per week, per month, per year. Everybody is so narrow-minded that trade. Think about it. In your goal of your life, why are you doing this? You are not going to come to me and take my class just to learn how to do this to make the money back to the class. No, no, no, no, no. You are coming to me if you pay me for my information to learn how to do it so you know how to trade for the rest of the life and as long as you live. To make thousands and hundreds and thousands of millions of dollars. Not to make back the cost of my class. You have to do this like you're serious about it. Like you really want to do it. You want to learn something. You want to get the skill. And people come to me and they take my class and they learn the skill from me to be in the room to take the class and they learn it. And they know that the huge, huge opportunity is knowing to look to predict what I can do. To predict the Groupon will fall. To predict that EXPR will follow through. To predict that the S&P will make a brand new long-time high this year and immediate long on Amazon too. That the overall bigger picture is to learn something that you can make extra money. Whether you quit your job and do it full-time. Whether you do as a part-time thing. Whether you want to work from home. Whatever. Whatever the reason is you are doing this because over the course of your life you want to have something to have extra money coming in. And maybe if you end up losing your job or getting fired and get sick of it and want to quit or in two years or now you're making 300 grand of your training a half an hour a day you quit your job and you want to work from home and you prove to yourself that you can do it and you can do it consistently because you've got the skill. You've honed the skill. The beauty in the Golden Gap system is all you need to do is learn it. It's all you need to do. And some people learn it really quickly and some people it takes a little bit longer. But anyway, I let people retake the class for free as many times as they want to because I understand there's a learning curve for people is different no matter who you are. And I don't know you until I get to know you and you're asking me questions and you're in the class. Okay? But I can tell you if you learn this system you can predict where Stott will go before it goes there. I called Urban on the day of the Gap and I said I just very casually looked at it and I was like $33 $33 $33 is Dream Target and Urban is going to get there. I called it a very, very late trade in a five minute chart at Urban last week. I said $33, there it goes. I called it, it ran from where I called it even it was a late trade. It ran up to $33 over $33. It's just that easy. Why? Because it was a good Gap. It was a good bullish Gap. Again, the idea of it filling the Gap, nonsense. Do sometimes things go the opposite direction of the Gap. Yes, but I don't play those things and then they don't rate well per my system and so I don't do those things and there's no predictability about it. There's a predictability here. The predictability is so good that not only do I know to go long it, I even know the number to get out. Now whether you stay in it till it goes there to the number is up to you. Again, the money management I like to get it out quickly. You may not want to wait for it to go to $33. You may not want to wait for Amazon to go over the strike price. You may be at $1,000 to get out. Either way you have to determine your own money management. I'm just telling you and teaching you how to predict it. And here again here is the urban. Just an amazing call. Here it is. I squished it all together but you can see this beautiful, beautiful chart. So urban is along. This is another bullish stock. In other words I said the things you could be long. I want you before Wednesday urban. Good, strong, solid stock. And if you can see here the last couple of days it's waning and waning and waning to go higher. Had a big bar here and a big gap up rally big. The day of the earnings last week it's resting, resting, resting, resting to explode. And that could happen this week with the FOMC minutes like all the strong stocks that are going to move higher. Facebook, Amazon, Google all of them. Tesla Microsoft I mean I can name a million. Alta. So how can you make money like this in the market? Number one you learn how to pick which stocks symbol to trade. How do you learn that in my class through a checklist. It's a 26 point checklist. Simple as that. You learn it. Then you learn how to find high quality gaps that offer momentum moves in the morning. So you scan in the morning to find them whether you go long or short. Then you learn how to take the positions to get the proper risk to reward entry which you're doing in the one minute chart because as a day trader I put in a stop I don't want to have an unlimited risk and even with an option I risk the amount that I risk in the option. That's it. No more no less. You learn how to exit the trade and what the target is so you can book money consistently and fast. And if you want to stay on longer that's up to you. And you learn to read charts for precision. Precision, precision, precision which I'm very good at but that's how you make money as a day trader. So my class if you are interested is called the Golden Gap course. The Golden Gap course teaches a 26 point rating system to find the best gap to play each day. This two day seminar also teaches six different plays. The class is Sunday, March 20th and Monday, March 21st. Now I usually do the classes on Saturdays and Sundays or Saturdays and Mondays. I'm doing this one time only class on Sunday and Mondays. So for people that have conflicts and Saturdays you work or have other conflicts you would want to do this class because I never ever usually do it on a Sunday and Monday. But I am for this next one. Each play teaches how to enter and exit the gap trade. The play is very important because this is how you make money okay. And you need to learn when the gap is highly rated so you know when you will be able to take a play in the first 30 minutes of the day because that's how you get the momentum. This is so important in making money trading. It's a make or break it okay. The reigning system is absolutely everything to me. It tells you when something is good, when something is not good whether to do it or not do it. So the Golden Gap rating system is designed to make sure you choose the stock symbol that will provide profit. That's how you're going to do it within the first 30 minutes of the day. The system is very detailed and looks at 26 rating points in the course. All the points are based on the daily chart of a stock. The points whose math and science in conjunction with technical analysis. That's how I'm getting the prediction to analyze the price patterns to choose which stock symbol and gap to trade of the day. 26 points is a lot of things to look at to raise stock. It's a lot. It is also a very detailed system but this is the reason why you can accurately do it. If I could come up with 2600 points I would and then I never lose a dime. But this is the reason why the Golden Gap system is so special because it narrows down quality with a microscopic look and it's looking at what the gap is telling you to predict it. Same thing that I did with the market. The gap itself and the price of stock is gapping out is telling you it's going to give you a trade of the day to make money with huge risk reward and that's what you want to do. The Golden Gap course is so much more than a two day class. It is a system and this is what I was talking about. You are learning a skill. It's an entire system for you to learn to do options or swing trades or day trades and you're going to learn it to learn how to read charts. To learn how to predict what something is going to do before it does it. Whether it's an ETF to use for futures. Whether it is even something like you can use it for forex and so if you only have forex because it only closes once a week. The Golden Gap course teaches you how to grab hold of the profits in the market early in the day and that's what I like and that's what I just really, really love because I have no patience. As you start to do this on a regular basis it will help your life in trading tremendously and as you make money on a consistent basis in the market day after day after day you will have increased confidence in yourself even when I have a crappy day or crappy week which sometimes I do everybody does. I never lose confidence in myself and I never lose confidence in my system and usually what happens is after that if I have a crappy day I usually get up the next day and I am so determined to make money and so much money and I have so much confidence. If I get a good gap I usually make so much more than I lost the previous day. You must believe in yourself and be optimistic and confident in what you do and understand that the money is going to come to you if you're willing to take the risk and be focused and it does take a level of focus and you do have to know something that works. If you don't have a system that works you won't make money in the market no matter what you do and it will be a struggle for you but I have so much confidence in what I do and I know that it works because I've been doing it for 8 years and that is not a long time in the life of a person but it's a long time in the life of a trader and especially particularly because it's all I've been doing it's all I've been doing nothing but gaps for 8 years and mostly shorting which is why I'm expert in shorting and always doing it on the 1 minute chart which is why I can't read things so quickly and this confidence builds on yourself every day and every week and every year and that's how you get to the point where you're making $100 a day and $200 a day and you have all the time in the world to build it up but you've got to start somewhere if you're losing your confidence is in the toilet okay it will flow into other areas also of your life because the more confident you become it will help you do better in other career endeavors anything else you want to do your personal relationships and your overall well-being to feel good about yourself one of the most valuable things that you learned during the golden gap course is to have conviction in the golden gap strategy and this conviction will help you produce positive results in your trading and not only that in your life and there is something to be said for people that believe that they are winners because trading can be challenging when you're starting out and you don't know a darn darn thing and it can be challenging and if you stay positive and you're confident in yourself you will get over the hurdles of the beginning portions of doing stuff so learn how to trade the golden gap the market is right here I don't know where we ended up closing today chart looks beautiful haven't made a high yet for the year and the QQQs although we have already in the spy it's everything looks great and we're looking to blow

proper knowledge it all has to do with gaining the right knowledge you're building the skill you're learning the skill and all of this emotional stuff that I'm talking about about money has a huge impact on your trading too so I teach a class it is a complete system you learn how to pick the stock you learn how to take the entries you learn something called the stocks which is the play I

email me at melissa at thestockswish.com so think about what I said today it's about empowering yourself to do it you've got to start to enjoy your life more not work like a crazy person and we all work hard when we have projects or things we want to do and sometimes you take a weekend and you do a class because you want to work less later you invest the time and the effort of the money right now so you can get to the point that you want to be later on in life but it really has a lot to do with this first period of the day in the first 30 minutes whether you go long or short it doesn't matter it's that time of the day that has all the money in it where you can really just hit the home runs and I also think it's very important to love what you do you know it's interesting because I've had a lot of system issues because I didn't switch out my computer and then it just got to the point where it was so obvious that I needed to change my system that I finally had to push myself to do it I always say to people don't let things get so bad in your life for your job or your relationships that you're up against the wall till you have to make the change I don't know why it is it's true for all of us sometimes change is so difficult for us and even I proved it to myself just with switching out my darn computer and I waited for the very last minute okay don't do this to yourself with your life if you don't like your job right now you don't like what you're doing or your training right now you don't like the strategy you're doing or you're losing money don't wait till it gets so bad till you get fired from your job or whatever that you change and do something different from your life and point in fact with me don't wait till your computer breaks down and nothing works okay we all do this to yourself trust me when I say that I'm speaking from experience so that's the webinar thank you for coming does anyone have any questions does anyone have any questions at all earning season the next earning season starts in about three weeks it's going to be an amazing time to train luckily my new computer will be hooked up for the next earning season thank goodness does anyone have any questions at all anything well you can email me here if you would like a trial to the live training room for the rest of the week you can email me there as well if you would like to sign up for the pay half now half later email me or the class by the end of this week again it's March 20th and 21st a special Sunday Monday class I'm doing which is good for people that work on Saturdays or have other conflicts the webinar will be on YouTube tonight if you want to watch it and go and subscribe to my YouTube site just go there and subscribe and you'll get all the videos and plays the days and I'm going to do a video on Amazon tonight too exactly Gal had look at the market I don't know if you were here when I said the market is going to explode on Wednesday with the FOMC minutes Jay asked me about stats I do not have on my website any previous picks or calls or anything on my website in fact I just revamped the website and I'm probably going to end up having to revamp it again another time this year the best I can tell you is to come in the live room be in the live room with me to get the calls for a one week trial or you can talk to previous students I don't have anything on the website of previous stats or go watch the 1200 videos I have on YouTube and you know what people do seriously seriously want to train have watched every video I have on YouTube and you know what those people are serious and they can see that I can predict what to do because if you go back and watch everything I've called about the market and some of the calls I've made long term for some of these stocks you can see that I know what I'm talking about I had a gentleman I'll tell you this really quickly since Jay asked me I had a gentleman that called me from Israel this was last week Yoshi I don't know if he's here or not he told me that in one week he watched every video I had every single solitary video in a week's time and people that don't have the time to do that that want to go just look at something which I don't even have because I don't have enough time to do that unfortunately because I'm running a business myself and I do want to have a life anyone that has gone back and watched all my videos is serious about training and I have people to do it I have a lot of people to do it and this is why I have almost 300,000 hits on my YouTube site but if you go back and watch my videos you'll know that I know what I'm talking about I see the consistency in my calls and if you do that you're serious and you're serious about spending 4 grand or 5 grand which is what the price of the class is going up to as of April 1st and you'll know that I know what to do if you can't take the time to do that and you want to print out this, that and the other thing which I'm not providing people with then you're not serious enough about doing it then don't spend the 4 grand go and take the time for free to watch every YouTube every YouTube video I have whether it takes you one week like Yoshi or a year do it and then you'll know that I know what I'm talking about because I want you to be serious about it I want you to take the time to do it I want people to believe and be successful and be confident in the choice that they're making to come and spend the money for the class and that's why honestly I haven't had time to put anything on the website and it's being revamped and I'm hiring a full-time employee in the next few months but the bottom line is I can't provide you with that right now and I'm not going to you know what, you can go on YouTube and watch every video and some people have done it and when those people come to me and they tell me they've done it then I know that they're going to do great that guy is going to do great that guy is going to do great I don't think he's here right now, he can write something in the room but he's going to do the class next week and you know what, he's going to make money out of the gate immediately because he probably has 100% conviction in what I'm talking about because he watched all my calls if you went along the market and a call that I made in the market on YouTube in 2011 you would be up so much money right now you would have been up a million dollars and I wish that I would have bought spider options in the market in 2011 I didn't but I wish I would have I wasn't doing options then and I wasn't going along the SMP but you know what are you going to do so there you have it alright, have a good night everyone we're overtime, thanks for coming nice smile on the website picture thank you thanks everyone, have a good night
