 Hello there everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm reviewing FDX, which was an option trade this week. And it was one of these ones that I called really tight because of the fact that I expected it to make the move very quickly after the earnings, which it did. If you have any questions, you can email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com or call me at 929-3200 Gap. And you can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. If you decide you want a day trade, you can day trade options or you can day trade equity trades. Either way, it's a very nice way to make money because you can work from home and do it anywhere in the world. So if you've ever thought about trading for a living, if you're interested in more information, you can reach out to me and again, email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com. There are many, many different types of traders. You have to decide what type of trader you want to be. And today, I'm focusing on talking about day trading or option trading, but either way, you yourself are placing the trades when you were getting in the trades and you were getting out of the trades. You have to have a fixed risk no matter what you do and it should be similar to the risk. And I say you could be beginner or you could be advanced. So it depends on the amount of money that you're risking and the size of your account with your expectations should be for yourself. Usually in a day trade, we're looking for a one-to-one turnover and in an option trade, same thing. Some options trades are a little bit less, some are more. This was one that was more, which we will go over. But before you begin to even risk any money in the market at all, you should have a strategy that you follow, which I do, which is the golden gap. And it's not necessary to have a mentor, but I do think it's helpful if you have someone calling the trades like I do for my traders. So how do I do it? I go through the checklist, boom, boom, boom. Go through the checklist in the morning, review it, and that's how I figure out what stock to watch and which gap to watch and which direction it's going. And in the case of FDX, it was a short. The difference between options, which we're gonna talk about here in a minute though, and day trading, as far as taking the equity position is, with the option you just pay the cost, you don't have to worry about margin or buying power. So that's nice for a lot of people, but the system itself is the same, okay? The golden gap reading system is how I tell that the stock's gonna go down and FDX is, for the example, it rated very high. So I could tell the stock was gonna sell off so you could have bought a put or you could have shorted the stock or you could have done both. So if you decide you wanna trade options, it's very interesting because again, you don't have to deal with the margin requirements in a stock like FDX, which is kind of expensive. It definitely helps you because you don't have to worry about having the margin or buying power. So I have a letter. It is a letter that I offer, it's an annual letter where you get the entire year for one cost for $49.99, it's five grand. You get all of my options calls for the whole year. Now FDX closed here the night before gap down. So I got up in the morning, I rated the gap and I called this option called before the open. You can't take it before the open but I called it before the open so you take it into the open. So you could have bought the FDX puts, if you were on the option letter, strike 170. This was the call. I sent it out right before the open here. 1221 was the expiration. So sometimes I call it out a week, sometimes two weeks, sometimes in this case the same week but I expected them to be big right of ways which it was. The stock is still even going here at the last day of expiration but I don't suggest people to hold it to the last day. The play was on the day or out the next day. And this was one where the market actually helped this trade go to. Now, if you were a beginner, cost to the option would have paid three, two contracts cost you what, 600, sold at 975. Again, this is still lower today on the last day but I don't think anyone should hold it the last day but you could have and made more. Profit $1,350 bucks. Return of investment in this case here at 225%. So that's a very, very nice trade. You will find that many, like I said of the options trades I call end up being more than a 100% turnover and that helps pay for the trades that do not work. Not every trade works. I have about an 80% win ratio for my system. So you figure out that every 10 trades, eight are gonna work and be winners and two will be losers. But the nice thing also about options too is that you only are risking what you are putting up for the cost of the contract. So in this case here again, advanced risk, same trade, different position just based on the size. 20 contracts cost six grand, sold at 975, profit $13,500. Return of investment 225%. It's a nice move. And so this is a client actually that is on the letter. He's doing the options, he's doing well. He's making money and he's learned a lot. He's learned a lot about reading the market list actually based on my calls which is very, very interesting. So you will learn being on that letter too. What's the difference and the benefits and the difference again? It's really the same strategy. It's just you don't have a margin account requirement. So the benefits of trading options versus equity trades is what? No margin requirements, no day trading margin requirements. The only cost is the price you pay for the trade. You can make active money day trading just like equity trades, active money trading them in out, in out. You can make a good return on investment. So these are the benefits. Options are a way also to make money if you cannot be in the live trading room daily. And so if you honestly are at work, we trade between 9.30 and 10 a.m. Eastern time and you can't be in and out and watch the trades in seconds or minutes for the day trading and then sign up for the option letter. Sign up for the option newsletter. Again, it's 49.99 a year. It's five grand a year and you get all the trades for a year. You won't be doing the class. However, you will get the trades and if you don't have time to be in the room this is a benefit. Think about it. You can transition your way from doing the option letter and then taking the class later if you want to and then day trading into the room, make money doing options. A lot of people have done that and then transitioned from the letter to the class. In fact, I have some students signed up for the January class or better who were on the letter this year and now they wanna learn the system and they wanna do both. Day trade in the room and the options because they've made money on the newsletter. If you'd like more information and if you wanna sign up for the Golden Gat course and learn the system itself, the next class is January 12th and 13th, nine to five Eastern time, cost of the class is $59.99 U.S. dollars. The class is online. It can be anywhere in the world and take it. If you wanna do both, the combo for the trends and the gap class is $64.99. This class is online. Again, it can be anywhere in the world and take it. Think about what you wanna do for 2019. Think about your goals, what you wanna achieve. I'm doing a New Year New Year special and this is really to help people just get forward and get somewhere with their trading. You would get the trading room free for one year. If you sign up and sign up and pay by January 1st. This is not the option letters, it's a room and when I call a trade like FDX, you could do it as an option, as a put if you want. Now if you just want the options letter, it's $49.99 for the whole year and I would sign up for that as soon as possible if you're interested not to miss any more trades like FDX, which was a really good one. Have a fabulous, fabulous New Year's everybody. Have a fabulous holiday and email me if you're interested in signing up for the Golden Gat course or the newsletter. Have a great day.
