Video summary
Melissa Arma from Stock Swish is hosting a special Labor Day promotion offering viewers the opportunity to join her trading community for the remainder of 2026 and all of 2027. This exclusive offer includes access to her comprehensive classes, which are scheduled for September 26th and 27th, allowing participants ample time to plan their schedules before the event begins. The promotion is specifically designed for the "Golden Gap course bundle," a package that provides tuition for three distinct courses: the main Golden Gap course, a trends class, and an options-focused course. By signing up for this bundle by September 7th, traders can secure these educational resources along with free subscriptions to her options newsletter and market reports until the end of 2027, effectively setting them up for long-term success in the financial markets.
The video highlights the benefits of trading with Melissa's guidance, particularly through her proven strategy of shorting stocks, which she has utilized successfully over nearly two decades despite general market uptrends. She illustrates this with specific examples of recent trades, such as a profitable short position in Meta and Apple puts, demonstrating how precise entries and exits can yield significant returns quickly. A key component of her teaching method is a 26-point checklist that helps traders identify stocks with high probability directional bias, early confirmation of moves between 9:30 AM and 10 AM Eastern Time, and favorable risk-to-reward ratios. This structured approach aims to teach viewers not just how to execute trades but how to consistently find opportunities and manage their positions effectively.
A major advantage emphasized in the special is the ability to trade on margin with less than $25,000 in a retail account, thanks to recent rule changes that allow for 4-to-1 leverage. Melissa explains that this does not mean risking the entire cash balance if a trade goes against you; rather, traders only lose the difference between their entry price and their stop-loss order. For instance, she clarifies that with a $25,000 account used to buy $100,000 worth of shares, a loss is limited strictly to the specific amount the stock drops below the entry point, not the total value of the position or the full cash deposit. This understanding allows traders to take larger position sizes and potentially earn unlimited income potential while working from home, eliminating the need for daily commutes and office environments.
The Labor Day special serves as a final call to action before the holiday on September 7th, with limited seats available in the upcoming classes. Melissa encourages interested individuals to evaluate whether their current schedule allows for trading during morning hours and if they are seeking a new career path that offers flexibility and the ability to work remotely. She notes that many people are realizing the value of working from home after experiences like jury duty, making this an ideal time to transition into professional trading. The bundle price is set at $89.99, significantly lower than standard rates, providing a unique opportunity for those who want to learn a consistent strategy, master both day trading and options, and join a supportive community that continues to offer mentoring sessions even after the classes conclude.

Hello there everyone. Welcome. This is
Melissa Arma with the stock swish and
I'm doing a huge Labor Day special for
those of you that have been wanting to
join and do the classes and trade with
me. Now you're getting an opportunity.
If you want to get in, you can trade
with me for the rest of 2026 and all of
2027. It's a huge special and you can do
all the classes. So if you have
questions or you're interested, the
special is running through Labor Day,
which is September 7th. You can email me
at melissathestockswish.com
or call me at 929-3200gap.
You can follow me on x, Facebook or
YouTube. You can also look for me at TV.
I appear on many channels talking about
the stock market, the economy. It's been
a very interesting time to trade. Again,
the market moves based on lots of
reasons and we've had a lot of movement
this year and volatility. We're getting
into a week here now where the Jackson
Hole meeting is taking place the end of
the week. They're going to be talking
about interest rates and that could
bring more volatility into the market as
well. So, happy 250th birthday, America.
Again, this whole year of 2026, we've
been celebrating the 250th anniversary
of the United States. When you think
about it, 250 years ago, they didn't
have even have electricity. uh we are so
advanced now and we're actually spoiled
because we don't know or think ever
about what it took to get to this point
and I was watching actually a couple
days ago or re-watching I should say the
John Adams series. It was on HBO was a
special if you've never seen that. great
cast, really good uh historical
perspective of the life of John Adams.
And again, when I was watching it, I was
thinking, gosh, you know, like how
grateful and lucky we are that we have
all of the conveniences we have today.
And uh it really makes you appreciate,
you know, the life that we have and the
times that we're living in actually. And
I don't think enough people think about
those things. So, it's been a great
year. lot of celebrations going on all
year in the United States and it's not
done. It's not done yet. A few more
months left until 2027. So, I'm doing a
Labor Day special. Great holiday. People
can relax. It's for the Golden Gap
course bundle. Again, you can do all
three classes and get all of my
subscriptions till the end of 2027 for
the price of the bundle. Talk about that
at the end when I'm done. And the
benefit is that the class is in
September, which is September 26th and
27th. gives you time to plan to take the
class. Block off that weekend and you
can start trading with me now. You can
start trading as soon as you sign up.
Your subscriptions begin when you join.
So again, I say start out slow before
you take the class, but you can get in
and start trading. We did a great short
today. We did DKS, beautiful short.
Again, you can get in, you can start
trading, and you know, lots of people
want to do that. They're already
actively trading. It gives you a feel
for what we're doing and then of course
you learn it in the classes. So this was
a gap that we did. This was August 18th.
We did Meta stock closed here, gap down,
open, dropped. We did a day trade. This
was a short. We entered at 55755.
Exited at 548.880. Beautiful trade. Made
$11,375
with 1300 shares. So this is an
expensive stock. If you wanted to do a
put, you could have done a put. You
could have done the 550s. Again, it
broke 550. I would have done the closest
expiration date if you're going to do
that as a day trade. Uh we also did do
puts in this as well, but just giving
you an option here if you wanted to do
the option as a day trade, but I did a
shares on margin. That's how I do my day
trades. And you could have taken more
size, you could have taken less. It
depends how much you're risking. But
again, nice, beautiful sell-off here in
the meta. And you're going to learn how
to find this, how to know to do this,
how to get the direction right in the
class. So, if this is something for you,
you got to think about, do you have the
time to trade between 9:30 and 10 a.m.
Eastern time? Does it fit your work
schedule, your life schedule? Do you
need daily trade ideas? That's one of
the reasons people love my trading room
because I'm calling trades in the room.
Usually, one good pick a day and that's
all you need. Do you like to make money
quickly? Sometimes we're in and out
very, very fast. Today was one of those
days. We're in and out in like 5
minutes. was crazy and I love being able
to make a couple thousand dollars in a
few minutes. So, that you will learn.
Uh, also, if you're someone that's
trading and you don't even have a
strategy at all, that's problematic
because you need a good strategy and you
need a consistent trading strategy and
you have a passion or interest to learn
the market and trade. Hopefully, you do.
That's how you found me in the first
place. And do you want to work from
home? I tell you, it's very convenient,
especially in New York. Um, I had to go
down for jury duty. We had to go all the
way downtown for jury duty and deal with
traffic and come all the way back. And I
thought, "Oh my gosh, I'm so lucky to
work from home." You know, a lot of
people are having to go back to work.
It's not like 6 years ago, 5 years ago.
People are expected to go into the
office. So, if you just learn to trade,
take my class, start trading, you can do
this as your job. You're going to love
working from home all the time and never
having to deal with traffic or commute.
Do you want a new career that offers
unlimited income potential, which the
market does, but you have to learn what
to do. It's not like a normal job where
you just start doing it. You actually
have to understand what to do. You
actually have to learn it. So, I have a
26-point checklist that helps me pick
which stock I want to do each day. That
is what you will learn from me. You will
learn the checklist. You will learn the
entries. You will learn the exits. It
measures gaps by rating them with a
daily chart to find stocks to trade that
have number one a high probability of
directional bias for the entire day, a
big move on the day, early confirmation
of the bias and the move between 9:30
and 10 and precise entries with
followthrough and a good risk-to-reward
target potential. And again, hopefully
um you know, you'll be able to get maybe
more. You know, that meta was a
beautiful trade. Some of the trades are
two 300%. We've had some options this
year have been ridiculous percentages,
but I'm telling you, my normal goal is
to just make one to one. Now, for those
of you who have been wanting to trade on
margin, let me tell you that this year
they changed the rules. You can trade on
margin with less than 25,000. So, you
can get 4 to1 in a retail broker. That's
good news. I'm going to give you an
example though position so people just
understand here because if you had a,000
shares, you wanted to short of a stock
that was worth $100 a share. You would
need what? $100,000 in buying power.
Again, that doesn't mean $100,000 cash.
It means buying power because the broker
will give you margin 4 to1. So, you
would need $25,000
cash in this example to take the trade.
Follow me? So, what if you take a,000
shares? You have 25,000 in the account
cash. If the trade loses, do you lose
all 25,000? No. Do you lose 100,000 if
it costs 100,000 and the trade loses?
No. You only lose the difference between
the entry and the stop. So here's an
example. If you entered at $100, you put
the stop at $150 a,000 shares, what's
your risk? Your risk would be $500.
That's all you would lose. Not the
$100,000
cost of the position. You follow me? Or
the 25,000 cash you needed to take it,
you would lose only $500. Does this make
sense? Again, you have to understand
margin if you're going to trade on
margin. So if the train loses, what do
you lose? Again, you would lose in this
example $500 and if it wins, it wins.
But that's you need the buying power to
take it or you can buy a put. But I like
trading on margin and I do even though
I'm doing options, too. I'm holding
options for longer. I like doing day
trades for fast trades. And the benefit
of trading on margin is you can take
bigger position sizes. Now, getting back
to options. I do options as well. You
will get the options newsletter
subscription and the trading room free
through the end of 2027 with this big
Labor Day special if you signed up for
the Golden Gap course bundle. So whether
you want to do options or whether you
want to do day trades, you're going to
get both subscriptions. So you can do
both if you want to or one or the other.
We did the Apple puts on the 10th
here. Stock close here, gap down
D. This fell again, fell all the way
down. Beautiful trade. made money 100%
return investment in and out only cost a
dollar again people like doing options
because they're cheaper risk 9600 made
9600 if you did a smaller risk you could
have risked a th000 made a thousand this
is a good solid option you would have
taken the trade let it fallen down again
a put as a short and Apple fell but
again you're going to learn in the class
to see that Apple is going to fall to
take it and how do I do it I have a
26-point checklist that helps me pick
which stock I want to do each day in
what direction and I focus on shorts
mainly which the classes mostly focus on
shorting. I find that shorting really
gives me a very specific niche. Uh and I
mean just again a lot of traders don't
know how to short. They're not good at
shorting. They don't know what to do
when the market or a stock falls but I
do and I've been able to capitalize on
this quite a lot. Quite a lot in my
almost 20 year trading career. But even
this year, even with the market in an
uptrend, I'm still shorting again. We
did DKS today. You can look at that.
meta was not the apple I just showed
you, but you'll learn the 26 points. So,
you can do it yourself and you'll learn
that in the Golden Gap course. So, the
dates are September 26th and 27th, 9:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. Class of
the class is $69.99. Classes online to
get me anywhere in the world and take
it. And again, it's very important to
learn so you know what to do. But I'm
letting people know because it's a month
in advance if you want to get in and
start trading. The special though is
only going on through Labor Day, but
this still gives you time to plan and
sign up and join and get in and start
trading. So, the special is for the
bundle. The bundle is $89.99. This is a
standard uh offer, the bundle tuition,
which is three classes. It includes the
Golden Gap course, the trends, and the
gap options course. Now, it is not
standard that I have these free
offerings. This is the Labor Day
special. If you sign up for the bundle,
you get the Golden Gap course bundle.
Sign up by 97.
Register again. If you register
tomorrow, you can start trading. If you
register for the bundle, you will get
the training for free through the end of
next year. Options newsletter and the
market report free through the end of
next year and two 1-hour mentoring
sessions with me. So, this is very
helpful for people want to learn and
want to trade and need help after the
class or even if you need help before
the class. Classes are online. You could
be anywhere in the world and take it.
People are already signed up for this
class date. So do not wait because if
you want to get in, I have a limited
seats available in the class. Otherwise,
I'd be talking till midnight. And again,
I don't want to do that. So, um, if you
want to get in, you can start trading
now. It's a great special. You'll be set
until January 2028, which sounds insane,
but honestly, look how time is flying,
flying by. So, think about it. If you
have questions, you can always reach out
to me. Email me at meliss the
stockswish.com and have a great day
everybody.
