We're gonna try this again. Let me know if everybody can hear me and see the slide. Good? All right, if you have any questions, you can just type it in here where I put good evening. Excuse me, and as we go along here tonight, if you have any questions for me, you can write it in the room and I will answer the questions out loud. Okay? Welcome everyone. Today we're gonna talk about how you can make money day trading and how you can earn a living day trading. Really, the amount of money you make day trading only depends on what, how much you risk, assuming you know how to trade. So, a lot of people make attempts at becoming professional day traders. Some are successful, many are not successful. What is the difference between someone that is successful and someone that is not successful? Well, one of the main things is that people that are successful trading, whether they're day trade, swing trade, do options trades or long-term investors, is that they have a specific system or strategy that they follow. Okay? So, I created a method for myself. It took me about three years, 10 years ago. That's really hard to believe. 2008. That was when I began trading. It seems like forever ago. It was 10 years ago. And at that time, I had no idea what I was doing. But one day, I traded a gap. And actually, it was a short. And actually, I made a lot of money. So, I realized that there was something to it in that very specific day in that trade. And I said, you know what? I'm gonna figure this thing out. I'm determined to do it. Of course, it took me three years. It took me three years to develop my system. A system now that I teach in a class to other people and I have my own business and my own business is called the Stock Swoosh. So, this is me for those of you don't know me. If you have questions as we go along tonight or afterwards, you can call me at 929-3200 GATT or email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com. You can also follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Skype. So, we're getting into the end of the last quarter of 2018. And if you are not at a point where you are ready to close the year strong, why? Have you been working really hard at your job and not getting anywhere?  Why have you not met your financial goals if you have not? And if you have, then good for you. Then pat yourself on the back. Then you can go into the year that close in the year very, very strong for yourself. But if you're not where you want to be, it's a good time to evaluate it because you still have three more months. Today is October first. Three more months left towards till the end of the year till 2019. It's hard to believe. But a lot of people have not met their trading goals for this year. With nine months gone, you say, gosh, is the whole year gone? No, you still have three more months left to go to achieve what you want to out of the year. And that's not nothing. That's something. Okay. Now, I talked earlier about the fact that I trade GATTs. I'm going to show you what a gap is. This is a daily chart of BVBY was a play of the day last week in the trading room. And this stock, it had earnings and it gap down. Now, what is a gap? A gap is a difference between the close and the open. So the US stock market closes at four o'clock and opens at 930 the next morning closed up here the night before about 1880. Boom. Open in the morning around 1540 ish. So this gap down. Okay. Stop close to your gap down and fell. So this was a short, it was a short on the day. You can also see here the volume. The volume is depicted here below. This was on the 27th of September. So every morning I get up and I try to find what stock that we're going to do preferred short first. So I always go to the short side first in the trading room. If we don't have a good short, then it will look at longs. So this case here at the stock gap down and it was a short. Okay. So I developed my own system to rate the gap to determine if the stock is a shorter along and which is the best pick. I prefer usually, usually, usually, usually to do one stock pick a day. Okay. Although sometimes every once in a while I will do more than one. So here it is. For those of you again, if you're not really retreating, this is these are candlesticks and the red bars depict selling action and shorts. The stock price is dropping. So when you short a stock, you're you're like betting that the stock is going to drop in price and you can make money with that. If the stock is at 15 and it drops under 15 to 1450. For example, the price you make 50 cents, 50 cents times whatever share quantity you take. And that's how you make money as a trader. Okay. Now day training is you're in your out, you're in your out, you're in between 930 and four and you're out between 930 and four. So you're you you are in and out. And sometimes we're in out in minutes or even seconds. Okay. Most of the time I'm focusing on the morning period. Just so you know, and any questions again, write it in the room. Anyways, this close, this open closed up here the night before open here dropped. It was a short and here's the move. So see your time of the day here's 930. Here's the move into what 10 o'clock or close to it here 955 ish. So you can see here where we open and dropped is a short move down. So I rated this gap, the gap rated 23 points. So I developed a 26 point rating system. Anything where it's rated 20 points or more, you take it in the direction of the gap. So since baby b y was a gap down, I'm looking to short it in the direction of the gap down. Okay. Entry was 1511 share quantity 5000 exit 1463 profit $2400. How long did it take? Not that long at all. The entry was here. Boom. And you get the drop. This was a trade that was less than 30 minutes. And I know exactly how many minutes it was 1012 whatever less than 15 minutes was a trade was a short quick train. And you could have made over two grand. And this is what I look to do every single, single, single, single, single day. Okay. Now does it mean that we get one of these every day? No, some days there are no trades to do at all because there's no stock ticker symbol like baby b y sometimes there's no gaps like this to do sometimes there isn't anything to do. Sometimes it's slow. Sometimes there isn't in their rates well. But most of the days in the calendar year, there are things to trade. And I'm looking for the best one because that's all you need. You only need one trade like this a day. And some people would be happy making $2400 a week. Okay. Any questions so far? It's the consistency. It's the focus, the focus on the system. And that is how you make money. And that is how you can consistently make money. And that is how you see the results, the results meaning to be able to make 30 k a month or 20 k a month or or whatever amount of money that you want to make. Now you would have had to be able to take 5000 shares of this but baby b y is not an expensive stock. Okay. There are many, many stocks that we trade in different price points. You didn't have to take 5000 shares of this you could have taken less. You could have taken half the size in this 2500 shares and guess what you still could have made $1200. By the way, this kept going this was not even the low of the day. There were several setups in this. I think the went into the teens. I don't know what the low of the day was up to look at that. It was like 1412 1314. I don't know something like that. The stock went another 50 cents on top of that. In fact, with this position, if you'd stayed in it, you could have made close to five grand or right around that number in one single day in one single trade. But I prefer this is me I prefer to trade the morning. So it dropped on down. It took a little bit longer. Took a little bit longer. I don't I don't know when it made the low of the day. It was sometime late late in the morning early afternoon. So you could have stayed in it in this case here and you see what it backed up. It was so weak so weak that it hardly even backed up at all. But you need to know that when you're up this much money, if you don't get out, there's always a possibility you can lose it. So I again have a structure that I follow where I'm looking to get out at certain numbers and certain targets and I don't let the money slip away. Is the direction of the overall market of importance? No. No. And that's another wonderful thing about what I do because guess what? Ever since I designed this system in 2008, guess what? The market's been bullish. The market has been in an upswing. The market's bullish. That isn't going to change. Market made brand new all time highs today. So no, I've been shorting and making money shorting stocks in a bullish market. So if the market ever turns bearish, then that you know, that's great too. It doesn't matter. It's the stock. It's the stock pick. It's the pick itself. Okay. If BBBY is going to rally, it's going to rally on its own. It doesn't matter with the market. If BBY is going to fall, it's going to fall on its own without the market. If you day trade every day and you're looking at the same stock day after day after day after day, most stocks in any given day will go with the market but I don't do that. I'm looking at a completely different ticker symbol every single day. One day it could be BBY, then the next day it could be Facebook, then the next day it could be Apple. I'm not trend trading stocks in their trend and I'm not trading the same stock every day or even a couple times a week. I'm looking for a specific move in a specific stock that changes every single day and it's based on, guess what? The gap. That's all I care about. It has nothing to do with the market at all. Okay? So, that is another positive since we asked me that question because if you need the market for the move, then guess what? You better be good at reading the market. If you need the market to make money in the market, you're getting creamed this year. You're getting killed because the market's been tough to read. I've done a good job with it but a lot of people have been saying the market's extended. They've been saying that for months and at one point we almost broke off and fell a couple months ago. We didn't. We held but the point is if you need the market then you have to be good at reading where the market's going to go. I'm good at that because I'm good at reading gaps. The market gaps almost every day and I read the market gap but that's hard to do. I do get that right a lot too but many people lose in this type of environment because the market's very bullish and they don't know what to do and every day it seems like they should be going along with something but then it doesn't work and trust me when I say it. Some people have had a hard year. We've had a great year in the room but some people have had a tough year because the market has been crazy. To me in the last few months has been very easy to read but early in the year had an unexpected fall in February and after that I wasn't bullish for a while. I didn't change my mind till we got up over a certain area which was in August. It took literally almost the entire year for the market to make convince me that we were going to be back up and around again and now I'm very bullish but as far as the most of the majority of the year we were in a holding pattern and it could have gone either way okay and that was a tough period and that was most of the year that was February March April May June July August it was eight months out of the year. Eight months out of the year the market was in a sideways range bound to me the way I read charts and so if you were looking to get the market moves during those that eight months of the year you got eaten up and I'm sure a lot of people did. Will there be a point where you would take that same stock long? Are you talking about BBBY? There's nothing to go along here now in BBBY if that's what you're asking me. I'm not sure if that's what you're asking me. BBBY is not along there's nothing to do with this it was a short on Thursday that's it. I didn't look at what this did today but I'm only playing gaps if this stock didn't gap today there was nothing to do in this today I didn't even look at this today. I don't know if that was your question sweet or not. We can look at we can pull up this chart and see what this did at the end but I don't know if that's what you're talking about about BBBY but if you're if you're if you're thinking about taking this to fill the gap that doesn't work and that is what a lot of people do the trade gaps and they fail and they lose and then they don't trade gaps and then they think that they're hard and they don't know what to do and they're crazy that doesn't work. If you're going to someone that's teaching you that that works they don't know what the heck they're doing and they're losing losing money okay don't go along BBBY I think it's going to fill the gap wrong delete another good one FDF close to your gap down open dropped foods move of the day 10 points again this is the kind of thing you want to get and these are the ones we're going to get in earning season October November the beginning of December is earning season last quarter of the year I didn't look at when this next earnings will be but this stock can move it had a huge huge massive sell-off is a great one sweet is saying the same day no no no now how can you go long and short the same stock on the same day you can't have a long bias and a short bias in the same stock on the same day you cannot that is impossible if you train a stock long and go short at the same day any suck any suck at all guess what you have zero conviction and you don't know what you're doing you do not go long and short the same stock on the same day ever write it down and write it in blood and if you want to have a higher odds of succeeding you will follow that rule until the end of time you have no conviction if you ever ever ever do that never do that you take a trade it loses you're out you're done you don't flip it and go long or vice versa and you certainly don't short a stock and go long the same day if you don't people that do that people that really aren't good at what they're doing you have to have 100% conviction that the stock is going to drop or you have 100% conviction the stock is going to rally you can't have 100% conviction it's both you're going to look for if you take my class and you learn what i know you're going to look for institutional buying and selling and guess what you're not going to have institutional selling come in big and then institutional buying come in big in the same day that's impossible so that's why you are not going to do it if you want to do well and make a lot of money 300 grand a year 30 grand a month what a dollar a day you have to act and think like you are managing a lot of money because you're you're money your specific account i don't care what size it is should have meaning to you as if it was millions and millions and millions of dollars so you don't want to take craft trades and you would not do that with a huge massive fun and funds don't do that either so then therefore why are you going to what moves the stock big money and big money doesn't sell it and buy it in the same day just it just doesn't happen okay that's what i teach people how to think like that but how to see it to see it in a chart there would be no place you'd buy baby wine that day none not if you want to make money okay good question anyways training is you're walking up the stairs of success you're walking walking walking you sometimes you might take 10 steps forward five steps back 25 steps forward three steps back this is how it is you're you know it's not a straight path i wish i could tell you oh you just do this this this this this no you probably have taken other classes or studied other things before you came along to me if you want to take my class you can but you've probably been on the steps before you met up with me and sometimes that's what it is that's the process is a process of getting there i just put in here the results from august the month of august and september and i just have it in here because september was a really small slow month but it had some really quality quality good trades and here you can see in here the ticker symbols we looked at in august and then in the month of september this apple was a great trade and that was a long mid september there took off the first week of the month and fdx was a good one i showed you that one there which was on the 18th couple days in there there were no trades because it was an earnings season in september again it was slow IBM was another quality trade in the 26th and then the bbbw which reviewed and the big trade was facebook from last week okay and i will be going over that today so here was facebook friday was the 28th the stock gapped down and it was a short so we were in the stock short before the news came out there was a data breach i forget the time the news came out but we were short the stock before that news came out so then it had a big sell-off which paid everybody in the trade but it was already up before then but they had the big move then in that and actually the stock continued lower today i didn't see how this closed but the stock continued lower so the amazing thing about trading my system is you're going to learn technical analysis you're going to learn how to look at a chart read the price action to see where it's going to go if it's going to go move higher or lower so regardless of news or anything that comes out anything at all tweets news whatever it doesn't matter if you can predict it in the chart technically speaking that it's going to go in a certain direction to take the trade before the move happens guess what you're going to be able to make money and sometimes you get news or something that happens that you don't even know about you have no clue it's going to happen but lo and behold it it pains you in the move with the volatility momentum and that's what happened at facebook and friday and today again i read that the chart was lower so i called it the option put which we're not going to go over here tonight and then the day trade but it doesn't matter the fact is i didn't know about the data breach people were everybody was in from the morning from facebook should you see how it works you get help from the stocks when they're already telling you that they're going to do something that the rating system that you learn in my class already tells you this is coming up this is going to happen like soon could be a couple minutes could be a couple seconds could be a couple days of a call an option in it i i called both in this facebook was a put and facebook also was a day trade okay and any questions let me know anyways here's a 15 minute chart on facebook where you can really see the drop off when the news occurred however we were in this this again this is a 28th this is the 15 minute chart here's the opening of the day here was the low was around 162 50 ish so we were in this trade early very very early then a drop fell pushback then we took even more and then i don't remember what time again the news came out it looks like it was somewhere around here when it completely collapsed so all of this again is paying you if you're short the stock and if you're long it guess what you're getting creamed okay and again you're not going to go long this in here you're short it your bias is one or the other you have a short bias you have a long bias so i'm going to go over to two risks advanced and beginner for people so they understand because i get this question of the time doing a lot of money today trade no you have to have a day trade account period go set up in the cap whatever broker you can prop or retail but if you want to trade size to make this kind of money i just want to show you one trade one day and this is only 4 000 shares now this isn't a cheap stock but the end train this was 167 40 stop initially initially the first stop 168 60 2000 shares is the first century then there was an ad okay risk 2600 with the ad shares then totaled 4 000 so this is like doing two trades in one people which sometimes i allow people to do and i say let's do it because this is going to work we're getting the confirmation and this this all happened before the drop-off this all happened before the sell-off exit 16302 again this kept going another 50 some cents i forget where the low was but it really was an amazing trade you could have made 16 720 dollars in one day and some people don't make that in one week that'll make that in a whole month some people don't make that in a whole year trading now you did have to risk 2600 but initially you risked less it was because of the ad that the risk was more it was like taking two trades in one and when i do that i either call it in the room or send an email out and tell people you can add to this it's a good one it's gonna it's gonna go this is really good okay where it tells you you can take more risk which is not warranted in every trade but in this case it was again i have no idea i had no idea that news is going to come out but i saw it i saw the selling was coming in entry again if you take a smaller risk 16740 stop 16860 shares 200 then you double it you got 400 shares you could do this you're risking how much 260 bucks if you can't afford to risk $260 you shouldn't even trade one share of something this is a very reasonable amount for anyone to risk $260 and the profit in this if you risk $260 was $1,672 this is a day trade this is not the option the option is actually still on although some people i'm sure probably get out of it today stock fell again today okay so this is two different things this is a day trade the option was another trade but there were both shorts now when you look at it the risk to reward in this trade was over six and if you had held it all the way down to the low which you know you some people might have it was over seven the point is that you can make this kind of money when you trade because every once in a while you're going to get a good one like like facebook it's not a trade but you will have a couple of those a month and they really can help you have a big month and they definitely can help out when some of the trades don't work you should expect you're going to have two or three losers or two or three losing days in a month but i don't have a trade of only usually calling one thing a day and if it works like bbby we're done if i happen to call two trades probably the first one was a loss and then i call a second trade and then we do it tesla was a loss on friday facebook was the second trade it was a lean entry when we got in and did it but i knew it was going to work and there was no hesitation on my part everything that i do is based on reading the gap and rating the gap and if you came and learned my method that is what you would learn to you only can have a bias in one direction you can't love and hate the same person at the same time you either are in love with someone that you're married to or you hate their guts and i hope you're not married to them if you hate their guts but you can't be in love with someone who hate their guts at the same time so think of it like a stock you either love the stock higher or you hate the stock's guts and it's gonna fall and you're gonna short it think of it like that any questions anyways trading trading is a skill it's just something you gotta learn how to do and i think people learn all kinds of different things i have a lot of people that come to me and even the people that come to me sometimes have trouble on learning the things that they've learned from other places that are wrong because they've been doing them for so long but they obviously haven't worked or they wouldn't have come to me so you know think about what i said common sense common sense rules a day in trading and when you make money management decisions and a lot of people just flat out do not use common sense when they trade and you need to do that so anyways when i get up in the morning i prepare i rate the gap we usually know we're looking at a trading before the open sometimes i look at it and i see something at night in fact allah had it as anything tonight you can let me know i'll look at it while we're here i can take a look but i think it's important i think it's important to be prepared and you know i i i think it's important to go into between now and the end of the year with a very positive attitude like you're gonna do it and if you embark on this course and if you want a day trade this is really what you want to do and you really want to do it for a living you have to have a positive attitude about it a lot of people that trade the market have a very negative attitude and so i'm not saying some of that isn't warranted some people have tried to trade and lost money and they feel all beaten up about it you know if you're if you have a negative attitude chances are you're not going to do well you have to have a positive attitude about anything you're attempting and you know you may make mistakes but you'll learn from those mistakes and i'm a good mentor for people i allow my i let people that come to me and take my class allow them access to me to talk to me to email me questions to call me and ask me questions i try to do my best to help people and give them advice as we go along but you do have to take my class become a member of the live trading room and i always say listen to the calls listen to what i say that facebook trade i don't think everybody held it i think people lost conviction in it i think people got out of it with a little bit of money and then probably were kicking themselves in the butt after they solve a sell-off so i'll have to take a quiz on that tomorrow from everybody in the room if you want to do this you'd be working for yourself now personally i like working for myself some people like going into an office every day if if you want to do this you can work for yourself and you can work from home and that is a benefit and you're gonna kind of know your personality and ask yourself you know what kind of trader are you are you do you have the personality today trade or maybe your personality is you you you'd rather do the options you just want to put a trade on and kind of let it ride out you don't want to have to manage it in a couple of minutes maybe you don't like the idea of going to bed at night and being in a trade that bothers you that worries you so you say i'd rather just take it and get out in a couple minutes and five minutes two minutes ten minutes and you feel better about that knowing every day when you go to sleep exactly how much you made you know whatever your personality is kind of you know look at yourself and try to figure out what is your personality and is day trading for you or if not maybe like i said doing swing trades are options very liquid stocks yes why would you ever trade a stock that's not liquid if you're talking about penny stocks i wouldn't touch them with a 10-fold poll and you can't make money trading them you will lose way more than you ever make even if you take a good trade and make money in a penny stock they're way too risky no no hedge funds are buying penny stocks so yes liquid stocks stocks that are traded by funds that's the trades that's the ones that we do stocks you would know Home Depot, Lowe's, BBBY, Bed Bath and Beyond Nike stocks that you would know if you called your mom in the phone you'd say mom we traded Nike today and your mom would know so that's what we do it's the U.S. market we're trading companies we're trading things that people know we're trading things that people have conviction and we're trading things that are traded by big institutions and big money and that's how you can make money just ride the coattails of that how do you think that this was such a good one here this do you think you would have ever ever made 16 grand in a day like this with 4,000 shares of anything anything at all if you didn't have funds in this puppy on Friday that's with this whole move that whole that whole move that whole huge move was just selling of course you want to be in liquid stocks again common sense common common common sense and anybody that tells you anything else like that it's like oh god I don't want to go off in a tangent it's like it's like it's like people want to hear something I swear I swear to god people want to hear something that that they know is crazy but they want to believe it because they want to believe it because it is crazy but they know it's it's crazy it's like it's like you want to believe and I'm saying you not specifically anyone here I'm saying in general people want to believe that they can open up a day trading account with $200 and make 16 grand in the trade they want to believe that they can trade penny stocks and they can buy 100,000 shares with a thousand bucks and then all of a sudden they can make 10 grand they want to believe that they want to believe that that's possible people want to believe things that are nuts even though they know that they're nuts but they want to believe it and then they get pissed off that it doesn't work and then they get pissed off that someone told them it was nuts and that person is nuts that person is nuts and told them it was nuts and it was nuts to begin with and the person knew it and so did you you meaning just not specifically anyone here but in general people it is not nuts to think that any trader any active trader could make several thousand dollars in any of the ticker symbols that I just reviewed that from the last two months or any of the ones all year okay millions and millions and millions of shares were traded every day in all the stocks we trade and they move okay and you don't have to take 50,000 shares of them and you don't need a million dollars but you certainly need money you need more than a hundred bucks and you need more than a thousand bucks okay people want to believe things that are nuts because they are looking for something to to people are looking for people want I don't know what it's called like the golden nugget or the golden bullet they want all their dreams to come true in an instant no all your dreams might not come true in an instant but guess what all your dreams might come true with hard work a financial investment and time so if all of your dreams can come true at some point with hard work a financial investment and time guess what that sounds pretty good to me okay rather than doing crazy things or believing in crazy things and then getting disappointed things that if you if you talk to your mother about she would say that that's crazy and that's never gonna work and you're never gonna you're never gonna make 16 grand trading that penny stock why did you risk a thousand dollars in it that was silly or forex or bitcoin or any of the things that people have done I mean it's just you know seriously seriously pale mary is right anyways I went off in a small tangent gala had if you want to look up if there's anything tonight while I'm finishing up here anyways going back to what I was saying you can trade it a prop account if you don't want a proprietary day trading account is look it up you could trade it a retail trading account if you don't know what that is look it up but either way it's it's a margin account when you day trade so you don't need the cost per per position so if you take a stock like bbb y you don't need the full 15 dollars per share quantity it's on margin so it's four to one usually at a retail broker or ten to one at a prop place okay but either way you're in and out you're in and out before between 9 30 and 4 options are different and we are going to go over one option trade here in a minute but all of the trading that you do you do from home now as I was saying why do people find trading so hard I was discussing this in the beginning people second guess themselves second guess in yourself is taking along in a short and the same trade by the way that's one thing focus on the right knowledge focus on the conviction focus on the directional bias focus on what's important focus on making money okay focus on the chart focus on the technical analysis focus on the things that I will teach you if you if in fact you want to be taught by me listen to what I'm saying don't don't get swept up in the hysteria okay I focus on the first 30 minutes a day sometimes the first hour we're in a train usually like to be in and out by 10 but when you day trade there's no overnight risk you're in control of your money no one's forcing you to take a trade or take a certain share quantity you should always risk take the risk and put in a stop the stop hits you out if the trade fails okay I call it a hard stop but it's a limit order stop and that helps you because you want to be out sometimes when the trades don't work Tesla's a good example now Tesla did go on to work and ended up falling then on Friday but it took a long time and it was way up way up through the stop before it fell back down again so it's still better to take the stop but your returns when you day trade can be incredible because you're in and out so quick you're trading a margin and you're getting the quick moves and you're getting them with momentum so that's the other reason we're trading liquid stocks we're trading stocks that we want stocks to be in stocks that move I usually say a dollar we're looking for a dollar or more but some things are like bbdy I mean 50, 60 cents it can pay you you don't even need a dollar even though that stock didn't end up going like from the tip to the toe a buck and a day all right but day trading isn't investing you're chunking it out chunk it, chunk it, chunk it 500, 600, 1000 350, 400, 500 you chunk it so you can take a small account and build it up it's sometimes you get the big ones Facebook was one but it's not every day and it's not every week but when you get them you've got to be there and ready and training you've got to be there every day because you don't know I don't know but I don't know I get up in the morning okay you don't know but it's not investing anyways how much do you need to make to quit your job I don't know how much it costs you to live I don't know what you're doing now what you're making your goal should be appropriate though for your risk with the size of your account so you have to look at your size of your account determine your risk and this is after the class you also should follow the trade calls in the room if you're going to be with me and do the class I say follow the calls but if you break it down it's approximately $1,000 a day to make about $250 a year $1,500 to make $300 something if that's what you want to do but when the trades don't work you can't get crazy I say take one or two a day that's another reason why you should you should do well with me because you shouldn't be trading all day you shouldn't be doing five, six, seven, eight 10 trades a day that's how people hurt themselves too and people hurt themselves with a small account they say well I'm only risking $200 yeah then they take you know 20 trades and they're down four grand you can't do that any questions again here was the fdx here was the one minute chart that was the daily just want to show you the sell off here here was the setup happen boom boom so this was back in the middle of September this is the daily we looked at and here is the day trading move boom like that that's all you need it's the sell off now I did the breakdown here for again advanced and beginner so the advanced risk was 2600 beginner risk 260 you could have made what 285 dollars and if you risk 2600 you could have made 2850 in a very very short period of time I also put on here again for retail accounts and props you see the difference for a retail account you would have needed 61 grand to take this in a prop account 24 grand in the smaller size position here again this is an expensive stock it was fdx okay over 200 our price point you would have needed 6100 on retail on prop 2456 so people ask me about that as well for the expensive things of which this was this was not a cheap stock like bbby but you still could have made almost 300 on this with a small account of around 2500 bucks in a prop account you still could have made your goal for the day two 300 bucks and again if you have a small account of 2500 dollars that's all that you should be able to expect from yourself you can't risk a thousand dollars a trade or two thousand dollars a trade if that's all you have on your account but I want to show you it's possible you don't need a huge account to trade this you need a huge account to risk a lot but if you can't afford it then make what you can because a 300 dollar daily goal will eventually get you where you need to be in a couple of weeks or a couple of months or between now and the end of the year if you're trying to build a small 2,02500 dollar account up to five grand and then 7500 and then 10 grand you have to start with what you have and if you don't have a lot of money then it doesn't mean you should not trade it just means that you should take profits and chunk it up and build the account up slowly I don't know why people do this but I was just talking about something the other day he said to me he admitted he's like I have a small account and I tend to be more aggressive I said well don't you see that's completely backwards he said I know he said I know but probably a lot of people do what he does don't do that again it was back to common sense common sense anyways I usually look at it like all right we're trying to get 50 cents we're trying to get a dollar what's my goal so if the difference between the entry and the stop the risk is 50 cents I'm looking to make 50 cents if the risk is a buck I'm looking to make a buck so I'm always looking to make one over so if I take a trade I'm risking 1500 and trying to make 1500 if you take a trade and you risk 300 you're trying to make 300 a one flip over this is a day trading is good okay and especially if you could do that in a couple of minutes so learning season starting banks report next week there's going to be a lot of trades and a lot of fast trades and that is one of the reasons that I like day trading just because it's so quick you don't have to sit at your desk all day to four o'clock you do not have to train all day you absolutely absolutely don't in fact I think it's wise for people to be done in the first 30 minutes but for you yourself if you're doing this and you're doing it from home you have to be disciplined and you know when I close the trading room I usually close it about 10 30 in the morning I said be done be done if you're in a trade and you're up and you want to manage it fine but you know I'm telling you the financial freedom that comes with this comes with great responsibility but it also comes with great reward because you don't have to report to someone else for a boss you can work for yourself and I'm telling you the freedom that comes with that once you once you go there you never want to go back to it to go back to a day job again you just you just won't want to do it so it is worth the time and the energy and the money and the effort nothing tonight go ahead okay that's fine I thought maybe there might be something I could look at anyways I focus on one strategy as I said all day it's gaps it's called golden gaps you work for yourself you work from home you can be anywhere in the world and take it I'm in New York the class though is online it's just a matter of function of yourself and what you're willing to do to get there but a lot of people trade and don't have a clue what they're doing I'm telling you I'm very focused I'm very good at what I do it's one of the reasons that I'm talking on national TV think about what I said tonight think about yourself your personality if you think this is something you're interested in doing okay whether it's part-time or for your job or career but my system is looking for a high probability of directional bias for the entire day a big move early confirmation when I get in and out quickly and a precise entry which is what you learn in the class in the one-minute chart with a good risk to reward potential remember you're chunking it out you definitely can pay for the class and a few trades or even one trade depending on your risk if your risk is small it's going to take you a little bit longer but there are a lot of people that have taken my class that are risking you know a thousand dollars or more a trade you have to follow the system the system directs you and tells you where to go if you open up a retail day trading account you need a minimum of 25 grand if you open up a proprietary day trading account you need a minimum of most places of $2,500 so there's your options you have two choices it's called a prop account or a retail account and the difference about the deposits is quite different one is $2,500 one is $25,000 if you don't know what a proprietary day trading account is look it up if you want a referral you can email me there's a million retail places but don't not trade because you don't have $25,000 because there's plenty of prop places out there that you can go to with far, far less and if you never heard of it Google the definition short of data I don't know what you mean by that Galahad I'll look at it I'll look at it I'll look at it we have time anyways this was an option call I called in the diamonds this was to buy calls so this was this was a long but it was an option trade here's the move poop and it went up like that so this was one here just want to show you again the difference and the risk and the money you can make in options trades same system rating the gap playing the gap but this case it was a long okay this only cost 30 cents a contract this was pretty cheap so you could have gotten a lot 8,000 shares is pretty big big position here risk is 2,400 bucks okay 30 cents is really cheap but the stock had the move I'll go back and show you that in a minute okay ran up profit was 145 you could have made 11,600 almost a 500% return on investment no margin required so in this case to do options with my system you don't need a day trading margin account you need whatever you're gonna risk if you're gonna risk $2,400 that's all you need in the account it has nothing to do with the cost of this I mean with the price of the stock it has to do with the cost of the option so here was the move right up there and here was the trade just before I show you the beginner one it was the 260s the 265s but that was the 260s this trade is already over I'm just showing you here the potential and how the stock moved up so here's the move it got almost to the dream target in the time I called the trade here it is and that's what you're playing again you're playing momentum if you only risk $240 you could have made 1160 this wasn't even the high up to 260s, 750, 268 it wasn't even the high up there but anyway it's a beautiful trade you take the position you're in, you're out you don't need margin to do this it's for options and that was the call so if you're in the option letter you get these trades emailed to you if you're day if you're day trading you're in the room doing the day trades you can do both one you need a margin to count one you don't one you need to count to actively day trade one you need to count to do options same system some are put some are called some are long some are short mostly we do shorts for the day trades all right but anyways how much you make is how much you risk it's how much you're risking you just have to be consistent with what you're doing anyways my class is called the golden gap system it's a 26 point professional bearish gap rating system the purpose of the system is to help you evaluate which gap to trade each morning using a checklist this checklist tells you what to trade when in what direction because that's how you're going to make money you wouldn't make any money if you were a long Facebook on Friday or BBBY the other day either okay you have to be in the right direction that's so important the 26 point checklist predicts directional bias and a stop and that is how you're going to make money one strategy is all you need to be successful in the market that's it that's all that I do but the time frame whether you swing trades options or day trades it's the same system that's the beauty of it okay so whatever works for you for your timing for your finances okay whether you want to open up an options at a counter a margin account you'll learn how to read institutional money and price patterns and gaps and you don't need to do anything else if your reason to do this is making money my system will make you money and by the way Phillip how much are you up in that Facebook trading today since speaking of money since we did that video last night I haven't posted it yet Phillip is a student and he's in the Facebook puts he was up a thousand dollars Friday what were you up to day when it was dropping Phillip write it in the room while I'm continuing to talk here since you're here anyways look at your schedule if you can trade between 9 30 and 10 that's the time you got to be in the room eastern time okay okay also if you'd like to make it out quick you want to work from home and if this is something you want to do for a career it's not like you have to do it for a career you can have another job on the side you can you can have a business on the side but it's a way to make extra money so extra money is always good extra money anyways my class is called the golden gap course the class is this week in October 6 and 7 from 9 to 5 this is the October class class to the class is 54.99 the class is online you can be anywhere in the world and take it I'm doing

In this video we're going to have a look at timelines within Microsoft Project. So my timeline is off at present, I can turn it on by using the View tab, and choosing the option Timeline from the Split View section of the ribbon. So here's the timeline, so it can be turned on and off. So I'm going to leave it on for the video. Now when you click in the timeline, you will see that it has its own tab. If you click in the project, you lose the tab. So Format is now for Project. If you click in the timeline, Format is now for the timeline. So that's really important to know when you're using a timeline where you're clicking. So to be inside the timeline, that's when you can use the format for the timeline. If I click inside Microsoft Project, Format is now part of Project. So this tab changes depending where you are. So I'm going to click back into the timeline. Now when the timeline, I can see the Timeline tab. I can do different things to the timeline. So for example, I can use existing tasks to add to the timeline. And I'm going to add Job Shortlist in. So now I can see where Job Shortlist appears instead of looking down the list. So if you have important tasks, you can then show it. I can add others. So I can add Design, Jobs, Visification. Now this one, we can't see all the text. Now if it abbreviates and you can't drag it. So if I can't make it any bigger and I wanted to see everything, I can use Display as a Call Out. So it's a different way of looking at it. You can also add a second timeline bar. So there's two of them now. And the reason why you might want to do this, if you add too many tasks to one bar, it'll get clitted. So you might want to add to the second one. And then you might want to see on the second one. So I can click on it, show different tasks. Okay, I want to show first interview and second interview. And now it shows you on the second bar. Now I can move tasks from one bar to another. So I can click on it and I can drag. So they are quite clever. Move it back. You can also copy this to Microsoft Project. So I can copy this whole timeline. So here's the timeline here. So when it copies, it copies with whatever's in the timeline. So I can copy timeline for presentation, open a PowerPoint and then I can paste it into PowerPoint when PowerPoint launches. So I'm going to a blank presentation and I'll just change the type of layout to title. I could call it project update and then paste. And that's the way it now looks. I can make them a bit bigger, smaller. What you notice if you're looking at the movement is that the text doesn't go with it. That's the one down side of resizing the timelines. But you could always do some grouping and group the objects when they're in PowerPoint to present them. But this gives you an idea of how it could be displayed in PowerPoint and you could then show where the timeline is and where the important tasks are. So this could be for important information. You could show certain little bits of information by a timeline. So that's what can be done in PowerPoint. I'll just minimize that. Back into project now, I can move the tasks to the other timeline. I'll do an example. Then I want to delete the second one. So I'll click on it and just press delete key. So I'm just left with one now. I could probably divide line up again. So these are the kind of things you can do with a timeline. So you've got all kinds of choices. You've got the existing tasks. Timeline bar you can add. There's different kinds of deep formats you can use. How much text you want in one line or the text and how many lines you want it. You can also format. So they could try and change this job shortlist in. Format. And you can change some of the colors if you wanted to. So there's format in. If I didn't want it on the timeline, say for example the second interview, click on it, remove from timeline. So these are the kind of things you can do with a timeline. You've got lots of options you can compare. You can bring on multiple timeline bars. You can produce the tasks as you want them. You can remove them. Like here I've got one here that is call out. I might want to display it on the bar again. It's back on the bar. And this now looks at the kind of use you can make of the timeline area. But also the really important part to also take out of this is when you click outside of the timeline and into Microsoft project, you actually now lose the features of the timeline. So to use the timeline features, you must be clicking in the timeline. Now the format gives me the timeline. But this completes the training video on timelines, manipulating the timeline, using an additional timeline we had a look at and also copying timelines to Microsoft PowerPoint. If you enjoyed this video, make sure you like and subscribe to our channel. Hope to see you for the next tutorial and thanks for watching.


for. The pressing anxieties of thought, which prevented her from noticing anything before her, when once beyond the neighbourhood of Woodstone, saved her at the same time from watching her progress, and though no object on the road could engage a moment's attention, she found no stage of it tedious. From this she was preserved too by another cause, by feeling no eagerness for her journey's conclusion, for to return in such a manner to Fullerton was almost to destroy the pleasure of a meeting with those she loved best, even after an absence such as hers, an eleven-weeks absence. What had she to say that would not humble herself and pain her family, that would not increase her own grief by the confession of it, extend an useless resentment, and perhaps involve the innocent with the guilty in undistinguishing ill will? She could never do justice to Henry and Eleanor's merit. She felt it too strongly for expression, and should a dislike be taken against them, should they be thought of unfavourably on their father's account, it would cut her to the heart. With these feelings, she rather dreaded than sought for the first view of that well-known spire which would announce her within twenty miles of home. Salisbury she had known to be her point on leaving Northanger, but after the first stage she had been indebted to the Postmasters, for the names of the places which were then to conduct her to it. So great had been her ignorance of her root. She met with nothing, however, to distress or frighten her. Her youth, civil manners, and liberal pay procured her all the attention that a traveller like herself could require, and stopping only to change horses, she travelled on for about eleven hours without accident or alarm, and between six and seven o'clock in the evening found herself entering Fullerton. A heroine returning at the close of her career to her native village, in all the triumph of recovered reputation, and all the dignity of accountess, with a long train of noble relations in their several fatens, and three waiting-maids and a travelling chasm for behind her, is an event on which the pen of the contriver may well delight to dwell. It gives credit to every conclusion, and the author must share in the glory she so liberally bestows. But my affair is widely different. I bring back my heroine to her home in solitude and disgrace, and no sweet elation of spirits can lead me into minuteness. A heroine in a hack post-shares is such a blow upon sentiment, as no attempt at grandeur or pathos can withstand. Swiftly, therefore, shall her post-boy drive through the village, amid the gaze of Sunday groups, and speedy shall be her descent from it. But whatever might be the distress of Catherine's mind as she thus advanced toward the parsonage, and whatever the humiliation of her biographer in relating it, she was preparing enjoyment of no everyday nature for those to whom she went, first in the appearance of her carriage, and secondly in herself. The shares of a traveller being a rare sight in Fullerton, the whole family were immediately at the window, and to have it stop at the sweep-gate was a pleasure to brighten every eye, and occupy every fancy, a pleasure quite unlooked for by all but the two youngest children, a boy and girl of six and four years old, who expected a brother or sister in every carriage. Happy the glance that first distinguished Catherine, happy the voice that proclaimed the discovery, but whether such happiness with a lawful property of George or Harriet could never be exactly understood. Her father, mother, Sarah, George and Harriet, all assembled at the door to welcome her with affectionate eagerness, was a sight to awaken the best feelings of Catherine's heart, and in the embrace of each, as she stepped from the carriage, she found herself soothed beyond anything that she had believed possible. So surrounded, so caressed, she was even happy. In the joyfulness of family love, everything for a short time was subdued, and the pleasure of seeing her, leaving them at first little leisure for calm curiosity, they were all seated round the tea table, which Mrs. Moorland had hurried for the comfort of the poor traveller, whose pale and jaded looks soon caught her notice, before any inquiry so direct as to demand a positive answer was addressed to her. Reluctantly and with much hesitation, did she then begin what might perhaps, at the end of half an hour, be termed by the courtesy of her hearers an explanation. But scarcely within that time could they at all discover the cause, or collect the particulars of her sudden return. They were far from being an irritable race, far from any quickness and catching or bitterness and resenting affronts. But here, when the whole was unfolded, was an insult not to be overlooked, nor for the first half-hour to be easily pardoned. Without suffering any romantic alarm, in the consideration of their daughter's long and lonely journey, Mr. and Mrs. Moorland could not but feel that it might have been productive of much unpleasantness to her, that it was what they could never voluntarily suffered, and that enforcing her on such a measure. General Tilney had acted neither honourably nor feelingly, neither as a gentleman nor as a parent. Why he had done it, what could have provoked him to such a breach of hospitality, and so suddenly turned all his partial regard for their daughter into actual ill-will, was a matter which they were at least as far from divining as Catherine herself. But it did not oppress them by any means so long, and after a due course of useless conjecture, that it was a strange business, and that he must be a very strange man, grew enough for all their indignation and wonder, though Sarah indeed still indulged in the sweets of incomprehensibility, exclaiming and conjecturing with youthful ardour. My dear, you give yourself a great deal of needless trouble, said her mother at last. Depend upon it, it is something not at all worth understanding. I can allow for his wishing Catherine away when he recollected this engagement. Said Sarah. But why not do it civilly? I am sorry for the young people. Returned, Mrs. Moorland. They must have a sad time of it, but as for anything else, it is no matter now. Catherine is safe at home, and our comfort does not depend on General Tilney. Catherine sighed. Well. Continued her philosophic mother. I am glad I did not know of your journey at the time, but now it is all over, perhaps there is no great harm done. It is always good for young people to be put upon exerting themselves, and you know, my dear Catherine, you always were a sad little scatterbrained creature, but now you must have been forced to have your wits about you, with so much changing of chases and so forth, and I hope it will appear that you have not left anything behind you in any of the pockets. Catherine hoped so too, and tried to feel an interest in her own amendment, but her spirits were quite worn down. And, to be silent and alone becoming soon her only wish, she readily agreed to her mother's next council of going early to bed. Her parents, seeing nothing in her ill looks and agitation but the natural consequence of mortified feelings, and of the unusual exertion and fatigue of such a journey, parted from her without any doubt of their being soon slept away. And though, when they all met the next morning, her recovery was not equal to their hopes, they were still perfectly unsuspicious of their being any deeper evil. They never once thought of her heart, which, for the parents of a young lady of seventeen, just returned from her first excursion from home, was odd enough. As soon as breakfast was over, she sat down to fulfill her promise to Miss Tilney, whose trust in the effect of time and distance on her friend's disposition was already justified, for already did Catherine reproach herself with having parted from Eleanor coldly, with having never enough valued her merits or kindness, and never enough commiserated her for what she had been yesterday left to endure. The strength of these feelings, however, was far from assisting her pen, and never had it been harder for her to write than in addressing Eleanor Tilney. To compose a letter which might at once do justice to her sentiments and her situation, convey gratitude without servile regret, be guarded without coldness, and honest without resentment. A letter which Eleanor might not be pained by the Perusal of, and above all which she might not blush herself, if Henry should chance to see, was an undertaking to frighten away all her powers of performance, and after long thought and much perplexity, to be very brief was all that she could determine on, with any confidence of safety. The money therefore which Eleanor had advanced was enclosed with little more than grateful thanks, and the thousand good wishes of a most affectionate heart. This has been a strange acquaintance. Observed Mrs. Moorland as the letter was finished. Soon made, and soon ended. I am sorry it happens so, for Mrs. Allan thought them very pretty kind of young people, and you were sadly out of luck too in your Isabella. Ah, poor James. Well, we must live and learn, and the next new friends you make, I hope will be better worth keeping. Catherine Cullard as she warmly answered. No friend can be better worth keeping than Eleanor. If so, my dear, I dare say you will meet again some time or other, do not be an easy. It is ten to one, but you are thrown together again in the course of a few years, and then what a pleasure it will be. Mrs. Moorland was not happy in her attempted consolation. The hope of meeting again in the course of a few years could only put into Catherine's head what might happen within that time to make a meeting dreadful to her. She could never forget Henry Tilney, or think of him with less tenderness than she did at that moment, but he might forget her. And in that case, to meet. Her eyes filled with tears as she pictured her acquaintance so renewed, and her mother, perceiving her comfortable suggestions to have had no good effect, proposed, as another expedient for restoring her spirits, that they should call on Mrs. Allen. The two houses were only a quarter of a mile apart, and as they walked, Mrs. Moorland quickly dispatched all that she felt on the score of James's disappointment. We are sorry for him, said she. But otherwise there is no harm done in the match going off, for it could not be a desirable thing to have him engaged to a girl whom we had not the smallest acquaintance with, and who was so entirely without fortune. And now, after such behaviour, we cannot think at all well of her. Just a present it comes hard to pour James, but that will not last forever, and I dare say you will be a discreeter man all his life for the foolishness of his first choice. This was just such a summary view of the affair as Catherine could listen to. Another sentence might have endangered her complacence, and made her reply less rational. For soon were all her thinking powers swallowed up in the reflection of her own change of feelings and spirits, since last she had trodden that well-known road. It was not three months ago since, wild with joyful expectation, she had there run backwards and forward some ten times a day, within heart, light, gay, and independent, looking forward to pleasures untasted and unalloyed, and free from the apprehension of evil, as from the knowledge of it. Three months ago had seen her all this, and now how altered a being did she return. She was received by the Allens with all the kindness which her unlooked for appearance, acting on a steady affection, would naturally call forth, and great was their surprise, and warm their displeasure, on hearing how she had been treated, though Mrs. Morland's account of it was no inflated representation, no studied appeal to their passions. Catherine took us quite by surprise yesterday evening, said she. She travelled all the way post by herself and knew nothing of coming till Saturday night. For General Tilney, from some odd fancy or other, all of a sudden grew tired of having her there, and almost turned her out of the house. Very unfriendly, certainly, and he must be a very odd man, but we are so glad to have her amongst us again, and it is a great comfort to find that she is not a poor helpless creature, but can shift very well for herself. Mr. Allen expressed himself on the occasion with the reasonable resentment of a sensible friend, and Mrs. Allen thought his expressions quite good enough to be immediately made use of again by herself. His wonder, his conjectures, and his explanations became in succession hers, with the addition of this single remark, I really have not patience with the general, to fill up every accidental pause, and I really have not patience with the general, was uttered twice after Mr. Allen left the room without any relaxation of anger or any material digression of thought. A more considerable degree of wondering attended the third repetition, and after completing the fourth, she immediately added, You know, you and I were quite forlorn at first. Yes, but that did not last long, said Catherine, her eyes brightening at the recollection of what had first given spirit to her existence there. Very true, we soon met with Mrs. Thorpe, and then we wanted for nothing. My dear, do you not think these silk gloves wear very well? I put them on new, the first time of our going to the lower rooms, you know, and I have worn them a great deal since. Do you remember that evening? Do I? Oh, perfectly. It was very agreeable was not it. Mr. Tilney drank tea with us, and I always thought him a great addition. He is so very agreeable. I have a notion you danced with him, but I'm not quite sure. I remember I had my favourite gown on. Catherine could not answer, and after a short trial of other subjects, Mrs. Allen again returned to. I really have not patience with the general. Such an agreeable, worthy man as he seemed to be. I do not suppose, Mrs. Morland, you ever saw a better breadman in your life. His lodgings were taken the very day after he left them, Catherine, but no wonder, milsome street, you know. As they walked home again, Mrs. Morland endeavoured to impress on her daughter's mind the happiness of having such steady well wishes as Mr. and Mrs. Allen, and the very little consideration which the neglect or unkindness of slight acquaintance like the Tilneys ought to have with her, while she could preserve the good opinion and affection of her earliest friends. There was a great deal of good sense in all this, but there are some situations of the human mind in which good sense has very little power, and Catherine's feelings contradicted almost every position her mother advanced. It was upon the behaviour of these very slight acquaintance that all her present happiness depended, and while Mrs. Morland was successfully confirming her own opinions by the justness of her own representations, Catherine was silently reflecting that. Now Henry must have arrived at Northanger. Now he must have heard of her departure, and now perhaps they were all setting off for Hereford. CHAPTER 30 Catherine's disposition was not naturally sedentary, nor had her habits been ever very industrious. But whatever might hitherto have been her defects of that sort, her mother could not but perceive them now to be greatly increased. She could neither sit still nor employ herself for ten minutes together, walking round the garden and orchard again and again, as if nothing but motion was voluntary, and it seemed as if she could even walk about the house rather than remain fixed for any time in the parlor. Her loss of spirits was a yet greater alteration. In her rambling and her idleness she might only be a caricature of herself, but in her silence and sadness she was the very reverse of all that she had been before. For two days Mrs. Morland allowed it to pass even without a hint, but when a third night's rest had neither restored her cheerfulness, improved her in useful activity, nor given her a greater inclination for needlework, she could no longer refrain from the gentle reproof of. My dear Catherine, I am afraid you are growing quite a fine lady. I do not know when poor Richard's crevasse would be done if he had no friend but you. Your head runs too much upon bath, but there is a time for everything, a time for balls and plays, and a time for work. You have had a long run of amusement, and now you must try to be useful. Catherine took up her work directly, saying in a dejected voice that— Her head did not run upon bath much. Then you are fretting about General Tilney, and that is very simple of you. For ten to one, whether you ever see him again, you should never fret about trifles. After a short silence. I hope, my Catherine, you are not getting out of humour with home, because it is not so grand as Northanger. That would be turning your visit into an evil indeed.  I did not quite like at breakfast to hear you talk so much about the French bread at Northanger. I am sure I do not care about the bread, it is all the same to me what I eat. There is a very clever essay in one of the books upstairs, upon much such a subject. About young girls that have been spoiled for home by great acquaintance. The mirror, I think. I will look it out for you some day or other, because I am sure it will do you good. Catherine said no more. And with an endeavour to do right, applied to her work. But after a few minutes, sunk again, without knowing it herself, into languor and listlessness, moving herself in her chair, from the irritation of weariness, much oftener than she moved her needle. Mrs. Moreland watched the progress of this relapse, and seeing in her daughter's absent and dissatisfied look the full proof of that repining spirit to which she had now begun to attribute her want of chairfulness, hastily left the room to fetch the book in question, anxious to lose no time in attacking so dreadful a melody. It was some time before she could find what she looked for, and other family matters occurring to detain her, a quarter of an hour had elapsed as she returned downstairs, with the volume from which so much was hoped. Her avocations above having shut out all noise but what she created herself, she knew not that a visitor had arrived within the last few minutes, till, on entering the room, the first object she beheld was a young man, whom she had never seen before. With a look of much respect, he immediately rose, and being introduced to her by her conscious daughter as Mr. Henry Tilney, with the embarrassment of real sensibility began to apologise for his appearance there, acknowledging that after what had passed he had little right to expect a welcome at Fullerton, and stating his impatience to be assured of Ms. Moreland's having reached her home in safety, as the cause of his intrusion. He did not address himself to an uncanded judge or a resentful heart. Far from comprehending him or his sister in their father's misconduct, Mrs. Moreland had been always kindly disposed towards each, and instantly, pleased by his appearance, received him with the simple professions of unaffected benevolence, thanking him for such an attention to her daughter, assuring him that the friends of her children were always welcome there, and in treating him to say not another word of the past. He was not ill inclined to obey this request, for, though his heart was greatly relieved by such unlooked-for mildness, it was not just at that moment in his power to say anything to the purpose. Returning in silence to his seat, therefore, he remained for some minutes most civilly answering all Mrs. Moreland's common remarks about the weather and roads. Catherine, meanwhile, the anxious, agitated, happy, feverish Catherine, said not a word. But her glowing cheek and brightened eye made her mother trust that this good-natured visit would at least set her heart at ease for a time, and, gladly, therefore, did she lay aside the first volume of the mirror for a future hour. Desirous of Mr. Moreland's assistance, as well in giving encouragement as in finding conversation for her guest, whose embarrassment on his father's account she earnestly pitied, Mrs. Moreland had very early dispatched one of the children to summon him. But Mr. Moreland was from home, and, being thus without any support, at the end of a quarter of an hour she had nothing to say. After a couple of minutes on broken silence, Henry, turning to Catherine for the first time since her mother's entrance, asked her with sudden alacrity. If Mr. and Mrs. Allen were now at Fullerton. And on developing from amidst all her perplexity of words and reply, the meaning, which one short syllable would have given, immediately expressed his intention of paying his respects to them, and with a rising colour, asked her— If she would have the goodness to show him the way. You may see the house from this window, sir. Was information on Sarah's side, which produced only a bow of acknowledgement from the gentleman, and a silencing nod from her mother. For Mrs. Moreland, thinking it probable, has a secondary consideration in his wish of waiting on their worthy neighbours, that he might have some explanation to give of his father's behaviour, which it must be more pleasant for him to communicate only to Catherine, would not on any account prevent her accompanying him. They began their walk, and Mrs. Moreland was not entirely mistaken in his object in wishing it. Some explanation on his father's account he had to give, but his first purpose was to explain himself. And before they reached Mr. Allen's grounds, he had done it so well, that Catherine did not think it could ever be repeated too often. She was assured of his affection, and that heart and return were solicited, which perhaps they pretty equally knew was already entirely his own. For, though Henry was now sincerely attached to her, though he felt and delighted in all the excellencies of her character, and truly loved her society, I must confess that his affection originated in nothing better than gratitude, or in other words, that a persuasion of her partiality for him had been the only cause of giving her a serious thought. It is a new circumstance and romance, I acknowledge, and dreadfully derogatory of an heroine's dignity, but if it be his new and common life, the credit of a wild imagination will at least be all my own. A very short visit to Mrs. Allen, in which Henry talked at random without sense or connection, and Catherine, wrapped in the contemplation of her own unutterable happiness, scarcely opened her lips, dismissed them to the ecstasies of another tetatet, and before it was suffered to close, she was unable to judge how far he was sanctioned by parental authority in his present application. On his return from Woodstone two days before, he had been met near the abbey by his impatient father, hastily informed in angry terms of Miss Moorland's departure, and ordered to think of her no more. Such was the permission upon which he had now offered her his hand. The affrighted Catherine, amidst all the terrors of expectation, as she listened to this account, could not but rejoice in the kind caution with which Henry had saved her from the necessity of a conscientious rejection by engaging her faith before he mentioned the subject, and as he proceeded to give the particulars and explain the motives of his father's conduct, her feelings soon hardened into even a triumphant delight. The general had had nothing to accuse her of, nothing to lay to her charge, but her being the involuntary unconscious object of a deception which his pride could not pardon, and which a better pride would have been ashamed to own.  Under a mistaken persuasion of her possessions and claims, he had courted her acquaintance in Bath, solicited her company at North Anger, and designed her for his daughter-in-law. On discovering his error, to turn her from the house seemed the best, though to his feelings an inadequate proof of his resentment towards herself, and his contempt of her family. John Thorpe had first misled him. The general, perceiving his son one night at the theatre to be paying considerable attention to Miss Moreland, had accidentally inquired of Thorpe if he knew more of her than her name. Thorpe, most happy to be on speaking terms with a man of General Tilney's importance, had been joyfully and proudly communicative, and being at that time not only in daily expectation of Moreland's engaging Isabella, but likewise pretty well resolved upon marrying Catherine himself, his vanity induced him to represent the family as yet more wealthy than his vanity and avarice had made him believe them. With whomsoever he was, or was likely to be connected, his own consequence always required that there should be great, and as his intimacy with any acquaintance grew, so regularly grew their fortune. The expectations of his friend Moreland, therefore, from the first overrated, had ever since his introduction to Isabella been gradually increasing, and by merely adding twice as much for the grandeur of the moment, by doubling what he chose to think the amount of Mr. Moreland's preferment, trebling his private fortune, bestowing a rich aunt and sinking half the children, he was able to represent the whole family to the general in a most respectable light. For Catherine, however, the peculiar object of the general's curiosity and his own speculations, he had yet something more in reserve, and the ten or fifteen thousand pounds which her father could give her would be a pretty addition to Mr. Allen's estate. Her intimacy there had made him seriously determine on her being handsomely legacied hereafter, and to speak of her therefore as the almost acknowledged future heiress of Fullerton naturally followed. Upon such intelligence the general had proceeded, for never had it occurred to him to doubt its authority. Thorpe's interest in the family, by his sister's approaching connection with one of its members, and his own views on another, circumstances of which he boasted with almost equal openness, seemed sufficient vouchers for his truth, and to these were added the absolute fact of the Allen's being wealthy and childless, of Miss Moreland's being under their care, and, as soon as his acquaintance allowed him to judge, of their treating her with parental kindness. His resolution was soon formed. Already had he discerned a liking towards Miss Moreland and the countenance of his son, and, thankful for Mr. Thorpe's communication, he almost instantly determined to spare no pains in weakening his boasted interest and ruining his dearest hopes. Catherine herself could not be more ignorant at the time of all this than his own children. Henry and Eleanor, perceiving nothing in his situation likely to engage their father's particular respect, had seen with astonishment the suddenness, continuance, and extent of his attention. And though latterly, from some hints which had accompanied an almost positive command to his son of doing everything in his power to attach her, Henry was convinced of his father's believing it to be an advantageous connection. It was not till the late explanation at Northanger that they had the smallest idea of the false calculations which had hurried him on. That they were false, the general had learnt from the very person who had suggested them, from Thorpe himself, whom he had chanced to meet again in town, and who, under the influence of exactly opposite feelings, irritated by Catherine's refusal, and yet more by the failure of a very recent endeavour to accomplish a reconciliation between Moreland and Isabella, convinced that they were separated forever, and spanning a friendship which could be no longer serviceable, hastened to contradict all that he had heard said before to the advantage of the Morelands. Confessed himself to have been totally mistaken in his opinion of their circumstances and character, misled by the rudderment hard of his friend to believe his father, a man of substance and credit, whereas the transactions of the two or three last weeks proved him to be neither, for after coming eagerly forward on the first overture of a marriage between the families, with the most liberal proposals he had on being brought to the point by the shrewdness of the relator, being constrained to acknowledge himself incapable of giving the young people even a decent support. They were, in fact, a necessitous family, numerous too, almost beyond example, by no means respected in their own neighbourhood, as he had lately had particular opportunities of discovering, aiming at a style of life which their fortune could not warrant, seeking to better themselves by wealthy connections, a forward bragging, scheming race. The terrified general pronounced the name of Alan, with an inquiring look, and here, too, Thorpe had learnt his error. The Alans, he believed, had lived near them too long, and he knew the young man on whom the Fulerton estates must devolve. The general needed no more. Enraged with almost everybody in the world but himself, he set out the next day for the Abbey, where his performances have been seen. I leave it to my reader's sagacity to determine how much of all this it was possible for Henry to communicate at this time to Catherine, how much of it he could have learnt from his father, in what points his own conjectures might assist him, and what portion must yet remain to be told in a letter from James. I have united for their ease what they must divide for mine. Catherine, at any rate, had enough to feel that in suspecting General Tilney of either murdering or shutting up his wife, she had scarcely sinned against his character, or magnified his cruelty. Henry, in having such things to relate to his father, was almost as pitiful as in their first avowal to himself. He blushed for the narrow-minded counsel which he was obliged to expose. The conversation between the Mitnorthanger had been of the most unfriendly kind. Henry's indignation on hearing how Catherine had been treated, on comprehending his father's views, and being ordered to acquiescent them, had been open and bold. The general, accustomed on every ordinary occasion to give the law and his family, prepared for no reluctance but a feeling, no opposing desire that should dare to clothe itself in words, could ill-brook the opposition of his son, steady as the sanction of reason and the dictate of conscience could make it. But in such a cause, his anger, though it must shock, could not intimidate Henry, who was sustained in his purpose by conviction of its justice. He felt himself bound as much in honour as in affection to Miss Moreland, and believing that heart to be his own, which he had been directed to gain, no unworthy retraction of a tacit consent, no reversing decree of unjustifiable anger, could shake his fidelity, or influence the resolutions it prompted. He steadily refused to accompany his father into Herefordshire. An engagement formed almost at the moment to promote the dismissal of Catherine, and as steadily declared his intention of offering her his hand. The general was furious in his anger, and they parted in dreadful disagreement. Henry, in an agitation of mind which many solitary hours were required to compose, had returned almost instantly to Woodston, and, on the afternoon of the following day, had begun his journey to Fullerton. Surprise on being applied to by Mr. Tilney for their consent to his marrying their daughter was, for a few minutes, considerable. It having never entered their heads to suspect an attachment on either side. But as nothing after all could be more natural than Catherine's being beloved, they soon learnt to consider it with only the happy agitation of gratified pride, and, as far as they alone were concerned, had not a single objection to start. His pleasing manners and good sense were self-evident recommendations, and having never heard evil of him, it was not their way to suppose any evil could be told. Goodwill supplying the place of experience, his character needed no attestation. Catherine would make a sad, heedless young housekeeper, to be sure, was her mother's foreboding remark, but quick was the consolation of There being nothing like practice. There was but one obstacle, in short, to be mentioned. But till that one was removed, it must be impossible for them to sanction the engagement. Their tempers were mild, but their principles were steady, and that the general should come forward to solicit the alliance, or that he should even very heartily approve it, they were not refined enough to make any parading stipulation. But and their own hearts made them trust that it could not be very long denied. His consent was all that they wished for. They were no more inclined than entitled to demand his money. Of a very considerable fortune, his son was, by marriage settlements, eventually secure. His present income was an income of independence and comfort, and under every pecuniary view, it was a match beyond the claims of their daughter. The young people could not be surprised at a decision like this. They felt, and they deplored, but they could not resent it, and they parted, endeavouring to hope that such a change in the general, as each believed almost impossible, might speedily take place, to unite them again in the fullness of privileged affection. Henry returned to what was now his only home, to watch over his young plantations, and extend his improvements for her sake, to whose share in them he looked anxiously forward, and Catherine remained at Fullerton to cry. Whether the torments of absence were softened by a clandestine correspondence, let us not inquire. Mr. and Mrs. Moreland never did. They had been too kind to exact any promise, and whenever Catherine received a letter, as at that time happened pretty often, they always looked another way. The anxiety which in this state of their attachment must be the portion of Henry and Catherine, and of all who loved either, as to its final event, can hardly extend, I fear, to the bosom of my readers, who will see in the tell-tale compression of the pages before them, that we are all hastening together to perfect felicity. The means by which their early marriage was effected can be the only doubt. What probable circumstance could work upon a temper like the generals? The circumstance which chiefly availed was the marriage of his daughter, with a man of fortune and consequence, which took place in the course of the summer, in a session of dignity that threw him into a fit of good humour, from which he did not recover, till after Eleanor had obtained his forgiveness of Henry, and his permission for him. To be a fool if he liked it. The marriage of Eleanor Tilney, her removal from all the evils of such a home as Northfanger had been made by Henry's banishment to the home of her choice and the man of her choice, is an event which I expect to give general satisfaction among all her acquaintance. My own joy on the occasion is very sincere. I know no one more entitled, by unpretending merit, or better prepared by habitual suffering, to receive and enjoy felicity. Her partiality for this gentleman was not of recent origin, and he had been long withheld only by inferiority of situation from addressing her. His unexpected accession to title and fortune had removed all his difficulties, and never had the general loved his daughter so well in all her hours of companionship, utility and patient endurance, as when he first hailed her. Your ladyship! Her husband was really deserving of her, independent of his peerage, his wealth and his attachment, being to a precision the most charming young man in the world. Any further definition of his merits must be unnecessary. The most charming young man in the world is instantly before the imagination of us all. Concerning the one in question, therefore, I have only to add, aware that the rules of composition forbid the introduction of a character not connected with my fable, that this was the very gentleman whose negligent servant left behind him that collection of washing-bills, resulting from a long visit at Northanger, by which my heroine was involved in one of her most alarming adventures. The influence of the Viscount and Viscountess in their brother's behalf was assisted by that right understanding of personal moral circumstances, which, as soon as the general would allow himself to be informed, they were qualified to give. It taught him that he had been scarcely more misled by Thorpe's first boast of the family wealth than by his subsequent malicious overthrow of it, that in no sense of the word were they necessitous or poor, and that Catherine would have three thousand pounds. This was so material an amendment of his late expectations that it greatly contributed to smooth the descent of his pride, and by no means without its effect was the private intelligence, which he was at some pains to procure, that the fulcrumous state, being entirely at the disposal of its present proprietor, was consequently open to every greedy speculation. On the strength of this, the general, soon after Eleanor's marriage, permitted his son to return to Northanger, and thence made him the bearer of his consent, very courteously worded in a page full of empty professions to Mr. Moorland. The event which it authorized soon followed. Henry and Catherine were married, the bells rang, and everybody smiled, and, as this took place within a twelve-month from the first day of their meeting, it will not appear, after all the dreadful delays occasioned by the general's cruelty, that they were essentially hurt by it. To begin perfect happiness at the respective ages of twenty-six and eighteen is to do pretty well, and professing myself moreover, convinced that the general's unjust interference, so far from being really injurious to their felicity, was perhaps rather conducive to it by improving their knowledge of each other, and adding strength to their attachment, I leave it to be settled, by whomsoever it may concern, whether the tendency of this work be altogether to recommend parental tyranny, or reward filial disobedience.
