 and welcome. This is Melissa Armell with the Stock Swoosh and I'm finally getting a chance to do the year to date results for last year 2021. Been a busy month for me to start out 2022 and I've been wanting to get this out there so people can see on an annual basis what you can earn. So this is advanced trader results. An average risk of around $2,700 per train was a good year. We'll go over what we did here shortly. If you have questions you can email me at melissa at thestockswoosh.com. You can also call me at 929-3200 Gap. You can follow me at Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype as well. So there's four quarterly earning season. We're at the beginning of earning season for or the middle I should say, of earning season for the first quarter. There's four quarterly earning seasons a year. So those are the busy times to trade but we get trades all year long. We just have more trades to do in earning season. So 2022 it's hard to believe is already here and if you haven't thought about your goals for this year, particularly how you want to up your game as a trader this year, make more money, do better, then you better get to it. I find the weekends are a good time to sit down and write down your goals. I'm really big on writing stuff like on a piece of paper. I have a lot of empty notebooks I always buy so I can write stuff in them. It's important to keep track of what you're doing and set your goals and write them down. Again, being realistic counts. How are you going to get there? Or if you want to trade with me, you would do the class. You would learn first, then you would join the live trading room, then you would be active and so on and so forth. So there's a process to do this and it's really, really important. Now I plopped this in here. This was one of the trades we did here. I'll show you this right now. This was PayPal. We did this the other day. This was a gap. Again, what we learned in the class, you'll learn what is a gap, how to find it, how to rate it and then also this was a short. So the start close to your gap down fell. We did a day trade in this. The entry was 13670. Risk was 3120. Risk a little bit more in this because it really just set up and had a bigger stop than anticipated. But try to keep your risks the same. Try. This is not exact science. So exit was 13115 profit, 4,169 straight. Again, you could have taken a hundred shares of this. Either way, you see the drop from almost 137 down to 131, $5 plus almost six. So you see how this is how you can make money with size when you get the move with the momentum, which you see here. This is the daily chart. It's a daily chart here of PayPal. Okay. So again, I call that trade of the room live. You could have been there. You could have been participating. You could have done it. People in the room did. So that is what we do. And then this was going back now more than a year. We started out 2021. And again, we were almost a year through COVID, but things really didn't get back to normal. They got back to normal in the market. The market rally from those March 20 lows, but they really didn't get back to normal in the economy. But we did longs. We did shorts. And this was again the beginning part of 2021. Most of the trades that we do are shorts, but some are longs. And I try to focus on one thing a day. If I'm trading a lot, if I'm doing multiple things in one day that I'm usually having a difficult day, which you can see here on the sixth and the 11th, easiest days where I do one thing and done like Netflix. That was a good one there on the 12th. So then the second week here of January, boom, boom, boom, just hit it, hit it, hit it. Nice week. Wells Fargo was a nice trade on the 15th. Again, this is more than a year ago now. IBM, we always have good luck with IBM. That was a winner, Apple, Verizon, Boeing and the spy, but a lot of volatility in the market this year, 2022, more so than last year, but we still do trades in the market when we see them. Again, these are all trades that are day trades on margin, on margin. Okay. And we will do the market. Now, if you want to do less size, you can do less size, but the market has a tight spread, even though it's expensive. So that is nice to do for smaller stops. Q-Com was a winner. Then the fifth, we did it. That didn't work out that day. We did the diamonds. Apple and IBM lost. Then we did Twitter, which ended up being a huge trade, although the first trade was a stop on the 10th. Then we did the spy and save was a big one on the 11th. Disney, IBM lost. Twitter was a big winner on the 12th. Close to the 15th, Twitter was a nice winner on the 16th. If I don't see anything that meets my criteria, we won't do any trades. And that's another thing. Focus, focus, focus. If there isn't any gaps that meet my criteria, I do not train. That is an important piece of it. And again, we don't trade all day. I mean, we're done in and out, in and out. I call it chunking it out. You take the trade, get the move out. Take the trade, get the move out. Footluckers was a winner on the 26th. Spy, DDD, Roth, retake of the spy there on the 4th. This is into March. Again, this was towards the end of earnings season then first quarter last year. Oracle were to Lily, spy, no trades on the 17th. Apple was a huge winner.

October, no trades on the 1st. Started out with a good winner. Facebook, no trades on the 5th. And you know, it's funny because I don't think I'm hard to follow. Many, many people in the run trading rooms are hard to follow. One, they trade all day. And two, they do too many trades all day. It's really just, I think, so easy to follow me. Either I like something or I don't. And if I like something, you know exactly what it is. Or I like two things, and that's it. Like, I'm very, very, very much a black and white and on top of what I like or whether I like anything at all. NVIDIA was a winner on the 7th. No trades on the 8th. Closed on the 11th. Facebook, one winner, one loser. Thirteenth was closed. BA won. Facebook won. Zilla won. Apple and Spiral winners break even the 20th. IBM won. INTC was a winner. And Facebook.

Offer a long weekend of Halloween, spy and ZG won then on the third of November. And then IBM was a winner on the 4th. And then we got into the fall. This is earnings season now. Fall. 2021. Peloton lost. BA big winner. Then another Peloton winner. Another PayPal winner. No trades at 10th. Disney big winner on the 11th. That was earnings I think. 12th. No trades. BA. Two trades.

NVIDIA didn't work. Zoom huge winner again. I mean that's a benefit of earnings season when you get these giant Mungo moves. I mean it's just so fabulous and fun to trade earnings season. Makes it a lot easier to make a lot of money. Diamonds won in Facebook in the 30th. Apple won. No trades on December 2nd. We did Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. Then just kept going. That was the 3rd and 6th.

Boeing won again on the 15th. Then we did it again on the 16th. I mean it was just there. Sometimes things just get dumped in your lap and you're like, well let's just take it. Adobe lost. Spy lost. Then we had a big winner on the Spy right before Christmas. Then we did have a loser in the BA on the 20th. But the Spy won and the Qs won. No trades the 21st and was off for the rest of the year. So average risk per trade is $2,700 a trade. It's one of these things where you can set your own risk based on the size of your account or your experience. If you have questions you can always, always ask me. But you can trade with a beginner account. I think that's something important that people need to know. So let's talk about buying power a little bit. Again these are trades on margin. So for example if a $40 stock price you take 200 shares you would need what? Not $8,000 in cash. You would need $8,000 in buying power which you can take with a $2,500 prop account if you want to open one. Because a prop account gives you 10 to 1. So you'd have $25,000 in buying power with a prop account like that. Again if you have a retail account you're going to need $25,000 cash which is going to give you $4 to 1 buying power or $100,000 in BP. Again there are different places you can trade and you have to look into alternatives and you should look into what's out there whether you have a lot of money or a small account. You should really look into it but even $200 a day is $1,000 a week. Hey that's money, that's profit. Many people that are trading the market are losing. So you can take a small account and grow it. I know people that are doing that. It's very beneficial for you to take it slow when you have a small account. We've been talking about this a lot at least not just in 2022 but even back in 2021 about financial freedom and what's happening in this world. Having an extra income coming in is important and people have time now to work and trade from home because they're still working from home. Now if you want to learn my system you can learn it in the Golden Gap course. It's a class I teach a few times a year. I did not do a class in January the first class of the year. It will be in February the end of the month. February 26 and 27. Don't delay if you want to sign up. I know it's going to be crowded or ready. I have some people signed up because it is the first class of the year. I'm just really busy right now. So I do classes when I can on the weekend. The tuition is $69.99 classes online. We trade during the week. Classes are always on the Saturday and Sunday for this big class because it's a 14 hour class. If you want to do the combo it's the trends as March 1st 11 to 3. So you're going to discount with that. It's $74.99 for both of these classes. So great 2021 2022 has already been better. We're only a month and a week into the year but I'm excited about what this year brings and I'm very excited about moving forward. The rest of earnings these are the rest of this year. If you'd like to sign up if you have questions if you'd like a trial to the trading room email me and Melissa at thestockswish.com. Have a great day everyone.
