 everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm reviewing GS. This is the Goldman Sachs chart. It had earnings yesterday. So the interesting thing is that this was a little crazy yesterday. I called two trades this yesterday, the day trade and the option. The option was a call. So if you didn't get out of it immediately, which I think a couple of people did, but I did not. But anyways, I said, wait a minute, this is a good gap. Sometimes things take a day or two to go or a couple of days. This went today. It was a beautiful move. So I know that it's hard for people to be patient. Excuse me. It's really hard for people to be patient, but you must be patient if you want the profit. Okay. So let's take a look at it. So this closed here gapped up close to the night before at 293.87. This was on Friday, Monday morning and earnings open at 305.76. I call the 305 calls. And to be honest with you, it ran out pretty fast to 311.25. Like I said, you could have like, scoped it. I'll show you the one minute in a minute. But I thought it was a good idea to hold it because I thought it was going to keep going. It was a very good bullish gap. Okay. It did keep going. Here's the breakout play today. Almost got to 320. Really beautiful, beautiful, beautiful move. And again, could this continue higher? Sure. But to get a trade like this right in and out, you take it and you're down and then it goes the next day. I think it's perfectly fine to book the profits. Again, if you get a move that's anywhere near 100%, you can't ignore the kind of money, especially in this type of volatile market. There's so many earnings going on right now. They're affecting the market. This actually affected the market today, this rally today, the market rally today with it. And this was a big move for the stock quite frankly. Again, from tip to tail here, it's over, well, not quite 16 points, almost pretty close. And that's a big move even for Goldman. So right out of the gate today, this went just move all the software. I don't know sure why the market was up today. Follow through a little bit teeny win a little bit. But really no economic data that I could see this morning that we had the gap up in the market. Let me just look here and yesterday. So this was the initial day. And I called the trades. Hold on. This is also why it's really important to size yourself correctly. What do I mean? If you take too much risk of a trade and it doesn't go the day that you take it that you feel a need to kill it before four o'clock, then you probably took too much risk. So I say back and off size yourself appropriately so that you can give the trade a chance to work because if you took this yesterday and got out with a loss, you miss the trade. It went. It worked. It was positive trade. You don't want to lose in trades that go positive. That's like silliness because some trades lose. So you don't if you're gonna lose in the losers and you're gonna lose in the winners, then what do you have? So do you know what I'm saying? Yes, sometimes things go immediately. Yes, sometimes they do. But the fact is that if you oversize yourself, you'll probably won't hold it. So back off your risk and give these things a chance to work. A day isn't a big deal. Anyways, we also went along this a day trading rum. Here's where it moved up immediately. Quick, quick, quick. 311.25. And then it pitted off. But again, the market fell yesterday at one point. I forget when we broke off in the market. It's either here or there. This was still a good long and it worked. It took 24 hours. Hull shebang. And again, I talk about this all the time. Institutional money, institutional money. That is a great example of what? Institutional money in a chart. It is buying. That came in. It came in yesterday and then it came in more today and it rally and it got bought. Really nice move in this. Again, we'll see where this goes. A lot of it is going to depend on the market and other earnings that come out between now and the end of the week. But this was one of the banks that had a nice move and again called a day trading this, which was a long, even though I'm mostly short. It was a day trade long and a call for the option.
