 everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm here reviewing today's trades. I think it's a good idea to go over what you're looking at each day and go back and say could I've done better today or what could I have improved on today and so we're gonna take a look at today's gaps. If you have any questions you can reach out to me and email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com and you can feel free to watch me on Fox Business Network and Fox News and you can also call me at 929-3200 Gap. Follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. So the first gap today that I looked at actually rated two things in the morning GES and CSIQ but I went to GS first. I really did like this gap a lot. It had a first drop, a short move in here. Unfortunately it wasn't big so here's what the stock did. Close the night before 22 opened down here under 19 around 18 whatever fell dropped. I think the low was around 1830. Some people got out but I really didn't think it was big enough of a move and I wasn't being a pig about the target. I really thought 18 was reasonable for the drop in this today. It didn't work out so this trade stopped and again at least I got off of it and realized well let's see what else there is out there today but here's the one-minute chart and we'll show you this this looked great. Here's the drop again shorted it in here was up looked perfect this is okay too even this in here looked very very good flat lined and then lifted and eventually stopped but I will tell you that the stock really didn't get bought today it just didn't have any more selling. If I go back here and look at this it said well what occurred the market was very strong today and all the selling came into the gap and then it dropped in here in the first part and then that was it there was no more sellers so there was no way to get it down any further without more selling and shorting okay so but that's what I'm looking for but there wasn't any institutional buying so you wouldn't have gone long this again it had a profitable move but you had to get quick out and it really just didn't go to the target. A lot of times when I'm going through in the morning and I'm looking through things and I'm rating the gaps and I never do anything that I haven't taken the time to rate I will say okay does this deserve a retake in the case of GES it did not I still think it's a good idea though to give yourself several trades a day meaning a minimum of two possibly even four maybe five five is a lot I think it's not enough to give yourself only one trade a day because you could take one trade and it could need a retake and you could come back on the day from the loss and be positive now that wasn't the case with GES and I looked at another stock which I'm going to go over here next but before you begin to trade you should look at how many trades that you want to allocate yourself per day you it's better to decide before you actually trade now what does it have to do with size of your account and whether or not you're at a prop place for example they may have a cutoff point where they will cut you off in a set amount per day I would divide the amount that you risk per of the total of your day divided by how many trades you want to take again one isn't enough two is good for I think is ideal so here was the second gap CS IQ what happened with this one here stop close to your gap down this rated good enough to short to didn't watch this out of the gate this went high in here of the morning was 2150 I didn't see where this closed but it went down and dropped down to 19 something very nice move sell up in here this could even continue this fast move out of the gate but we're watching the GS anyways this did have a later setup so entry in this again later not in the morning was 1958 then add in the 1950 stop 2010 again first the 4000 shares then an add with 4000 shares exit 1925 which was the first target it did actually go past this I didn't see where this closed today but it did go past it in the afternoon I don't think it's a good idea to be piggy with the target so at 1925 boom drop out in this case here good profit turned it around 2320 bucks so again you must rate the gap first wouldn't have done this if I hadn't rated it you got to rate the gap if the gap rates 20 points or more then you take it in the direction of the gap and the 26 point rating system is what I teach in my golden gap course so when you are looking to trade again you have to know how many trades you're going to take per day because today's results then were positive even though the first trade failed second trade was positive took it around on the day and when you have a start to a day which that GS did where you're up and then it flips you know it can be frustrating so you really sometimes got to take your time to look for something CSIQ did have a second move it may not have because again the market was bullish and that had a big drop in the morning but it turned out it did have a good setup later on in the afternoon so what am I teaching my class I teach the golden gap course I teach a checklist it's 26 points which I teach in my class it's a meat potatoes the strategy of my system and then that's the day one day two is all the entries you would learn to play that I do call the stocks whoosh and the targets like for example the CSIQ target today was 1925 then 19 so the class that I teach is called the golden gap course which I teach my method how to rate the gaps like I just discussed those two and how to do the entries where to put the stops the class from march is this weekend March 23rd and 24th 9 to 5 eastern time cost of the class is 59.99 US dollars you can be anywhere in the world and take it classes online and you would sign up by Friday the 22nd if you're interested email me for registration papers you cannot sign up from the website you must email me to sign up I'm looking forward to a very profitable earning season starting in April and we will see what the future brings have a great night everyone
