 Hello there everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with the Stock Swoosh and it is Presidents' Day weekend coming up nice three day weekend. Market is closed on Monday for Presidents' Day it's a national holiday. And I'm doing a Presidents' Day special for this weekend only. If you wanna sign up for the Gap Options newsletter I'm doing a sale. So what is it all about? If you'd like to email me, if you'd like sign up information you can email me at melissa at thestockswoosh.com You can call me at 929-3200-Gap or you can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. So happy Presidents' Day everyone. Hard to believe that we're getting into the end of February and it's almost March. This year 2022 has just flown by. It's been a very volatile year for markets which has made for actually some great training. So so far this year 2022 if we just look at a chart of the QQQs here this is a daily chart. You can see where the market started out the year right up here and where we've gone. Now this is through yesterday. So the lows for the year were the 24th. The high from the year was right up in here. We're a long way from that. We're actually a really long way from that. And the previous high in the market was last year 2021. It was the week of Thanksgiving. So that's a long time for the market not to have made new highs based on the way that we were trading in 2021. But this has made for a lot of beautiful nice moves for us to trade in. Some moves are long, some moves are short. We do it all in the letter calls and puts. It has been a good start to 2022. So I am doing a special, a President's Day special for this weekend if you want to sign up. The offer is through President's Day. It ends on Monday to 21. So if you want to sign up you would get the gap options that are through the end of 2022 1231 22 for $5,999. This is a nice offer. You would start to receive the newsletters as soon as you sign up. You can sign up today, get the letters today. You can sign up next week. You get the letters when we open on Tuesday. Because again, Monday the market is closed. Now this was a recent trade that we did in January. We did the Facebook 330 puts. It was a nice drop. I called this one out for the following week expiration, 122, Sunday in the morning. Sometimes I go a little bit later in the morning but most of them I send in the pre-market just so you know. The cost was 380, which is an average cost I'd say for the ones that we're doing. Contracts was 20. Risk 7600 sold at 12. Profit 16,400. Return investment 216%. If you wanted to do a slower risk at beginner risk, three contracts of 1140 sold at 12. This trade worked. Profit on this would have been 2,460. Now let's look at the chart. So this was the 13th. Oops, I thought I put the chart in here. Nope, I didn't. Let me just pull it up right now. Here. So I called this on this day right there. It was the 330s, you see? So we opened it 334.98, fell dropped, low was 325, drop, drop, drop, drop. Do you see this in here? So this is basically the momentum. It's to the downside. And again, this is a put which is a short nice drop there. It's really interesting because this was before. So we were short this stock before the earnings. Can you believe that? Look at where it is now. I mean, it's 100 points plus away from this trade. It's crazy. Look at, and this is a month ago, but still look how much a stock has collapsed. So anyways, this was a nice trade. Nice trade, good move, nice drop, nice selling action in there. Again, you would get the newsletters in live time and you take it when you get it, okay? So if you have questions about this, you can email me. I don't have trials for the newsletter. I think a lot of people have been following me for a while. They pretty much know what to expect for the newsletter, but if you have questions, you can feel free to reach out and call me. So options are something that you can do on the side. You can do on the side even if you have a regular job. You get the trade, you put the order in, you can put a sell order or cancel day order. If it hits, it hits. You know, and if it doesn't, you're in it overnight. We sometimes do things and we hold them for a few days. We don't get in and out of day trades, our options like the day trades where we're in and out of the day trades in five minutes. Options I may hold for a bigger move or a longer move or sometimes I do it on a day, doesn't go that dead. So that's kind of what you need to be looking at when you're starting to do this. But the fact that you can put the order in and then an immediate buy order and sell order makes it convenient for people if they're doing other things or have a job to be able to do this at the same time. But everything I do is based on my system, the golden gap rating system. This is the meat potatoes of everything I do. So I rate the gaps in the morning like Facebook to determine if it's gonna go higher or lower if we wanna do it at all. Some gaps are nothing gaps. So you can't go long every gap up, you can't short every gap down. I'm sure if you've been trading, you know that many things reverse. So the rating system qualifies it for me based on the 26 points to know what to do. But making money trading is really about using the one system, the right system, to trade successfully and you've got to know how to do it. So if you wanna do the class, you can always do the class. If you wanna just sign up for the newsletters for the options trades, you just do that. There's been just a huge number of wins this year. It's been a very successful start to 2022. People are successful trading with me, you can do it. If you fail in the past, it doesn't mean you're gonna fail forever and that's a very negative attitude. And I find sometimes people do have a negative attitude about trading because they've been losing. But if you're losing, you probably don't have a good system or you don't have a good service. This was, I did this nice email for last weekend for Phillip. He's been with me now since the summer of 2021. He started out with a small account. He has not done the golden gap course yet. He's considering doing it for this year and probably will at some point. But right now he's focusing on the options trading and last week he made $3,000 a one day on Friday. Had some nice trades and eight grand for the week. He's really done a great job. Again, he's a great example of someone that is just following the trades, started out with a small account. He's successfully grown it. And again, he realizes now that the system works and he's going to do the class at some point this year. So it's just a nice success story and I'd love to get emails from people where I'm hearing that they're doing good. So that was a nice email from Phillip. But you can learn the system if you want before you do the newsletter trades, you can. But you don't have to. There's no prerequisites for the newsletter. What if you're a beginner? I got some emails from people who are new. That's fine too. The broker will teach you how to place the orders. That's not me, I'm not a broker. I'm teaching you the system or providing the subscription service. A broker will teach you how to train you, how to actually take the orders and put the orders in and off if you're brand brand new, they will teach you how to do it and set up your charts. You can set up your charts like mine pretty much anywhere. But trading is fun. It is a lot of fun. You've got to learn how to do it or you've got to subscribe to a service like mine where you're following either way. The idea is to make money. I mean, it's not fun if you're losing. Trading is fun when you're making money. It's not fun if you're losing. Now, again, while not every trade that I take works more win than lose, which is why overall I find trading fun. And usually if I have a day where I have a losing day or a losing trade, I usually come back even stronger after that. I'm really like a fighter with that point. I really don't like to lose. I like to win. That's one of the reasons why it benefits people being a part of my service and particularly in the trade room or the options newsletter service because I do like to win. I have a winning system and it's something that I'm very big on and I focus a lot for myself. If you want to join the live active trading room, you can email me about that too. It is an equity trading room for day trades, not an options room though, so you need to know that. But the live inside of the room is helpful. Sometimes I do market videos for the options newsletter people too to let you know where I think of the market because that's important if you're in overnight trades. But if you want to join the room, you can email me. If you want to take the class, you can email me. Again, I have no trials for the newsletter, but I do have trials for the room. If that's something you're interested in, just know that the room is not based on options trading, it's based on day trading. Everyone wants to make money who trades, but not everybody does and there will always be the case that more people lose than win because the whole game of the market is that the winners take the money from the losers. Nothing is ever made or created in the market. Money changes hands. So when I went into the trade, I'm taking money from somebody else. That's the way it works. You got to come to terms with that. So you got to be the smarter the bunch. Going with the crowd doesn't work out. You will lose if you do because the crowd actually loses most of the time. And you have to keep your eye on the ball, which is the target. The target, which is making money. It's about hitting the bull's eye every single day. One train, two trades, that's it done. Being profitable, it's extremely, extremely important. So again, how do I do it? Using my golden gap rating system. You can learn this in the golden gap course. I teach the class once every four to eight weeks. I have not done a class yet this year. It's been a busy time. So if you're interested in the class, you can email me. So the President's Day sale is going on through Monday, President's Day. It's 59.99 for the newsletter through the end of 2022. No prerequisites. This ends President's Day. You must email me for forms if you want to sign up. And if you want to do the class, the first class of 2022 is February 26th and 27th, nine to five. Class tuition is 69.99. Class is online. You can be anywhere in the world and take it. Again, if you'd like a trial for the trading room, email me, but it's not an options room. If you're interested in options, just sign up for the newsletter. This is a nice offer. So email me with questions. Email me or call me. Calling is really easier, I think. It's 929.3200 gap. And again, go to the website to see the other classes and subscriptions that I offer. Have a great weekend, everyone.
