 Welcome, this is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm doing a pull baby special for this weekend, Friday starting Sunday. If you're interested in signing up for the August class, there's only one more class this summer. It is at the end of the month and the nice thing about the special is it's still learning season. You can take advantage of getting in and starting to trade before the class. If you'd like more information or you want to sign up for the pull baby special, you can email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com. You can also call me at 929-3200-GAP and follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or Skype. So it is summer. It's full on summer here in New York City. It's 90 degrees. I think next week we're going to have some over 90 degrees days, but it is very hot. It's a nice time to trade what I do and the method that I trade is a morning trade. So we get in and out quick in the morning. So you don't have to worry about sitting all day and then of course missing the wonderful summer days that we're having where you could be out and doing fun things. So the pull baby special is if you sign up for the Golden Gap course for August by Sunday, August 7th, you will receive the socks will show live trading room free for one year. This is a huge benefit. You get all the live trades for one year free with the class and then again you would plan to take the class August 27th to 28th from 9 to 5 Eastern time. The course tuition is always $69.99 so you get this bonus which actually saves you $4,000 because the room is $39.99 a year. But the real benefit is you can start trading and actually do it before you even take the class because Monday is the 8th. So be able to learn and then you can trade and actively do it. And again these are day trades. Day trades that I call in the room. We're usually done in the morning by 10 o'clock, 10.15. Room opens every day Monday through Friday at 9 a.m. This special ends Sunday the 7th. If you have questions you can email me. You can call me too. However, the deadline is Sunday. So if you want to sign up you must email me back to get the forms to sign up at Melissa at thestockswush.com. Now for those of you that don't know what I do, I focus on gaps. Only gaps. Okay so every single thing that I do is based on gaps and we do mostly short. So this is eBay. We did this today in the room and it was a nice one. It was a good one. It really was not something that I was planning on doing this morning but the first thing I liked didn't set up. And so then we flipped to this and I flipped to this pretty quickly. This closed here. This gap down fell. Again, this was a short. So I'm looking to short eBay. That's what we did today. And again we made money in it. It dropped. It fell. A gap is the difference between the close and the open. So every single thing that I do is based on my gap method. This particular day today was a short. I tell people the benefit of trading and day trading is you are chunking it out. You don't have to wait forever and ever and ever and ever for your position to go. The live trading room that I'm running, I'm calling the trades, the entry and the stop and then saying where we're getting out and reviewing the targets in the market every room. You're chunking it out every day. That's your goal. You add it up. That's how you pull together a week and a month. It's not about one huge trade and then you have to wait forever for it to go. That's long-term investing. We're doing active trading in and out. It's called chunking it out. This is one of the reasons why many people are trading for financial independence. They want to have extra money coming in right now to cover the cost of things because of inflation and because of higher interest rates and people are also wanting to find other sources of income so that they can eventually retire. Some people want to do this full-time in transition. You must learn first. It is so critical to learn and in fact, I'm going to talk about this on tomorrow's email. I'm going to talk about conviction. Conviction is important. How do you get conviction in the positions that you take to risk money in a position in the market? Whether it's long or short, you have to understand and know what you're doing and why you're doing it. If you don't know why you're taking the trading, you can't explain to anybody at all that makes any sense or a hill of beans, you should have no business risking money in it or taking the position. Too many people are trading and taking risk of their own hard-earned money in the market and they don't know why they're doing it and they don't have a strategy for doing it. One of the benefits of taking my classes, you will learn an entire strategy. I teach you how I make the picks. I also teach you the entries and I teach you the exits. The room is a bonus. It's a bonus for this special and it really will help people because I'm calling the trains live. But at the end of the day, if you know how to do it, it will help you make money and it will help you take risk. And obviously, the more risk you take, the more you can make in a good trade. But you've got to know what you're doing. You have to get the pick right. I think it's important that people understand. Don't drown in the market by trading it alone. Another special is to help people so that they get the support of the room. In fact, I was just talking to an old student today. I said, you have to go back to the basics, to the basics of everything. And again, I reminded him that being in the room is so important and so critical because I'm very good at what I do. Remember I developed a system for myself in the first place. I designed it. So I'm doing it the most. I've done the class more than anyone because why? Because I'm teaching it. So the teaching is the replication and the understanding and all of that helps. But being in the room helps too because we review stuff in the room. Now this was a nice day trade we did. The stock has rallied since, as you can see. But this was on July 22nd. We did the short here. This was Facebook. Stack close here. Gap down. Fell. Boom. We did a short. So here was, and I'm showing you just this stretched out. This was the day of the 22nd into the, oh no, this is, I'm sorry, that's the 25th too. The 22nd day into the drop. It followed through the 25th and it even followed through the 26th. Look at that. So actually, we could have done day trade this every day that week. But here was the 22nd. We shorted it at 172.70. Advanced trade or risk of 2700 was 3000 shares. Gotta have the buying power to do it. Yes, this is pricing. Okay. So what if you want to take 500 shares? Take 100 shares. Take what you can afford, okay? And there are options for people to trade at retail places and prop places. Ask me if you don't know what I'm talking about. Contact a broker. Exit was 169. It even fell past that. Profit was 11,100. A fabulous trade. Great entry. Good size in here. Got the move. Got the flush. Again, this was a short. I just want to show you here again. Here's the drop. Boom. And actually that kept going. That broken went down even to 178 something in that day. So this trade was a trade that if you were in the live room, you would have gotten this trade. It's all about chunking it out. You put a week together by making money. One trade at a time, okay? And we do your stop. Sometimes I get stopped in trades. But guess what? Then I look to retake it or do another trade. Not trading all day. I'm not doing 10 things a day. We don't do that many trades. So consequently, we don't have that many losses because we're not over trading. And if I do one trade in the morning, I make money. That's it. I'm done. So I don't keep going after it all day long. Your odds go down, okay, doing that. I say I can be perfect for a half an hour a day. You can be perfect for a half an hour a day. The odds of you being perfect for six and a half hours a day are really slim to none. So you have to focus on the time of the day where the moves are there. And specifically in gaps, they're in the morning. So if you're thinking about working for yourself or doing this for a living and you have questions, you can call me at 929-3200-GAAP. You can always email me if you have questions too. I've taught a lot of people how to trade over the last 10 years. 10 years ago, I started the business. And again, people leave and sometimes take breaks from the life from trading and they all come back eventually. It's really interesting how nobody ever forgets me and people know that the system works that have done the class. Now, if you didn't take the class, you don't know that. That's the chance you take. You're not going to get the information or understand what to do or learn it until you sign up and do it. But the bonus of having specials like this and being in the room is so important. In the class, you will learn the process. The process that I go through early in the morning in the pre-market, I don't usually rate gaps at night. You could. You could if you want to. You know, there were some things tonight to look at. I'm going to wait till the morning, okay? So whatever works for you, wherever you live, but I go through, check it off, rate it, go through the checklist. This is what you would learn in the class is a 26-point checklist. 20 points or more is my cutoff. That's what I'm looking for. And that's what I teach in the Golden Gap course. The class again, this is the last class for this summer. After that, the next class isn't until the fall. I didn't set the dates for that. It's probably going to be late September, early October. I have a friend coming to visit me in September that I haven't seen for a number of years that's coming. And then I have a lot of things going on in September. It's my birthday. We have Labor Day. So I didn't set the September class yet. It might be beginning of October. So if you want to get in and start trading, you could start trading this week. You could go small to the class, learn, do the class the end of August, and then you'll be set to go and know and do the class before the next learning season starts in the fall. I usually teach the class once a month, but sometimes I'm busy. So if you want to get in, this is a great offer. You've got to sign up by Sunday. Class tuition is always $69.99, class is online. You can be anywhere in the world and take it. It's summer. Think about joining. Think about doing this if you've been following me and you've been wanting to jump in if you're trading right now. It's better off to learn a system. That's how you have conviction. And this is a nice offer. Again, sign up by Sunday, August 7th. You'll receive the trading referee for one year. Class is August 27th and 28th. You must email me for the forms. Any questions, email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com. Have a great day, everyone.
