 Hello everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh. I just wanted to point out today what is so important and I've been talking to some people recently, some new people that are interested in the class and it's so interesting to me. I wanted to point out that you must have a strategy to trade the market. If you do not have a strategy to trade the market, then you were probably going to lose in this type of market volatility, which ran in 2022. Since the beginning of the year, it's probably going to continue the rest of the summer and probably could be into 2023 at this point. The reality is if you don't have a system to trade and follow on a daily basis, you're going to get whips all around. The market has been in a sideways range and you need to think about what you're doing. Something that you did last year in 2021 may not be working this year. That's number one. You should know three and a half months into the year. That's for one thing. Second of all, if you were trading without a strategy, like I said, then how do you expect to make any money? You should have no expectation of ever being profitable if you don't have a strategy. And third of all, you also have to have a strategy that actually works. So some people trade the market, they say they have a strategy that's XYZ, but it is not a profitable strategy. For example, buying the dips is not a profitable strategy unless you have an endless amount of money to trade with or we're in a very bullish market, which 2021 was. 2021 was a power-trend bullish market and buying the dips worked in that market. It is not working in this market this year. Personally, that is really not a strategy. It's not something that you can use consistently over the course of your lifetime. You need to have something that you can use in any market conditions that consistently will be able to make you money. Down turns, up turns, everything. Or even a choppy market like we're seeing right now. The idea is to have a system to trade. The idea is to have a system that's consistently profitable. And the idea is that do not trade or risk money in the market if you do not know what to do. There are plenty of people out there that teach different things. You can find one of them that you connect with. Hopefully, you'll connect with me. If you connect with me, you can reach out to me. You can sign up for my golden gap course. But the thing is that there are people out there that can teach you how to train successfully. I am one of those people. There are other people too. While there are a lot of people out there that don't know how to trade that are teaching people things, that's true. And I've heard those horror stories as well. It doesn't mean that no one knows how to trade or no one can teach you. You can go down your own road like I did where I taught myself my own system, but it was a very expensive road. And it was a very long road to me. It was financially and emotionally draining. So I'm glad I went through it. I'm glad that I kept pushing myself to get what I did. I'm a fighter. I'm not a quitter. And I've always considered myself a very successful person. So I wasn't going to quit until I figured it out, which I did. But it took me far longer than I think and far longer than I anticipated. So I think a lot of people think they can create their own thing and then it really ends up taking far too long. It's much, much easier for you to come and pay someone like me in a two-day class, which is one weekend of your life, to learn what I know and then you start to apply it and then you start to apply it in the market and you start to trade. And then you start to make money and you start to learn it as you're going long as you're trading. You know, trading is a process even if you after you take my class. A lot of people do so well after the class because it's like a connection where everything comes together, things I knew before, and then of course all the things that I teach them that are new, the way that I look at things. But the fact is sometimes it's a learning curve for people. Sometimes it takes time. But the idea is that you can start trading and making money while you're learning and while you're going through the process. If you have any questions, email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com. Have a great day everyone.
