How can you Profit from NFTs, Digital Stocks and the Metaverse?
Crypto Curiosity
My curiosity all began March of 2021 during Spring Break with my girls. I began to dig on new Digital World that is developing. If you look at the evolution of the digital world already we have seen amazing changes. Which led to my workshop on the Digitization of our Financial World as we know it.
Back in the early 1900s we had the invention of electricity, telegraph and telephone. This revolutionized the way people lived. People were able to to enjoy being in their homes without the worry of a candle tipping over to set the house on fire. The ability to have light at any point in time. The ability to talk to one another without the delay of the horse to carry the message. The world soon began to communicate at a faster pace and so did the stock market.
Stock Market Evolution
Fast forward to the 1980s. We now have personal home computers. The stock market has the establishment of an all digital exchange of Nasdaq. Crazy to think that I actually have a family friend that was one of the lawyers influential in helping to set up Nasdaq. Well this was the second evolution of stock market with the news at peoples fingertips and the ability to place faster trades and to watch the price action at home.
We also had the evolution of music go from records to 8 tracks to tapes to Cds to Mp3s and now simply streaming. Movies were only in theaters to tvs, video tapes, dvds, blu rays and now streaming as well.
Blockchain Financial World to Come
So the next big step is in the financial world again. We are at the end of the banking system and stock market as we know it. With all new technology those that adopt it quickly have the ability to be in business to profit. We have seen that the world of banking has allowed us to no longer have to go into banks to deposit checks. No need to go into a branch to open and account and even the ability to send money without having to send a wire.

What’s Next? Well besides ISO20022 new Banking Standard that will be eliminating the Swift System we are going to see the stock market go 100% digital.
Come Join Me, I Want You to Profit!
InMy workshop this Saturday February 26th at 2pm est. I will be talking all about the positioning from the companies leading this tech world in the present stock market to the tokenized stocks. Where to find them, How to purchase them (Step by Step Visual Instructions). I might say the How to Buy Digital Token Stocks for Dummies. How Art is going from on the wall to digital in the form of NFTs and how you can make your own and monetize it
If you want to be on the forefront of this new step in the financial world then please register. I want everyone to be able to buy 125,000 Nvidia Stock Tokens for yes 11 cents, or 100 million Gold tokens for 11 cents. The choice is yours if you want to wait to be late to the party.
Have you ever really thought about how disciplined olympic athletes are to get themselves in their tip top share to prepare for their competitions? Well they are not the only ones that have discipline.
Stock traders deal with discipline everyday when they sit down at their desk the discipline cycle begins.
Flow Chart of a Trade
It is very important to follow through with the same process each time with a trade. When you deviate from the norm then you will find that your results will not be consistent and the only place to look it back at yourself and what you did differently.
When you instill discipline in your daily routine you have the ability to take the emotion out of it and make the trades more mechanical. If This…..Then That. If it breaks out then you will buy. If it pulls back to your stop then you get out. If it hits your target then you take profit.
Keep Emotions out of It
If you find that you are feeling emotional while trading it is time to take a step back. Be aware of what is going on in your mind when you place your trades. Your mind makes decisions for you and if it is clouded with other thoughts or not clear then step away.
You want to keep the flow chart process above as black and white as possible. So be aware of your thoughts and your emotions during your trades.
Stay Grounded in Yourself
One of the best ways that I have found to keep the emotions and anxiety out of trading when I first began was the addition of yoga to my normal exercise routine. The ability to take time out of your day to concentrate on yoga breaths and simply feel your body really help me be aware of my emotions.
When life gets tough just breathe! Or if you are feeling anxious in a trade as you positioned too large then BREATHE. You might just be able to see that the anxiety of the trade was just in your mind and your trade is still following the plan.
In fact, I realized that I might be able to help other traders in learning to add yoga to their daily routines.I decided to start sharing yoga live 2 days a week Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 7:30 am EST on my youtube channel. I would love for you to join me and find your inner peace to start your day.
Daily Practice will improve your results
The top athletes train themselves everyday, and this discipline rolls over into the rest of their live. When they workout they tend to want to eat healthy too. They also stick to a routine and schedule that can help them be their best.
Initially creating your daily routine can seem difficult, but after roughy 4 weeks as long as you have stuck to new task it will become habit. The same is true in trading. When you stick to your trading plan daily and the rules the results seem to come more naturally.
The beginning trader wants it all today, but we know from changing our diets or implementing a new workout routine it takes time and constant work to make it routine. So if you are newer to trading please be kind to yourself for these new good habits to set in. Some people take longer than others to learn and to create habits.
So know that your progress is at your rate. As with yoga, your body and flexibility is likely different than mine after practicing for 20+years. There is nothing wrong with that and over time you can increase your flexibility and routine.
The same is true with trading. You might want to be an all-star trader day 1, but it takes time and you can achieve it.

That’s right it seems that Canadian traders will finally have that lower cost commision to look forward to the end of 2020. Tasty Works will be coming to Canada target date 4th quarter of 2020.
Make sure you register above so that we can keep you updated of the changes and you will be able to trade stocks wait for it……comission free.
Last week I spoke with the CEO, Kristi Ross of Tasty Trade, and she said coming to Canada is priority for the company. It is not an easy process with the legal reporting laws for the countries. The company is determined to make it happen.
Low Cost Commissions Canada
So what are we really talking for the Commission that you will be getting for Tastyworks in Canada.
Kristi confirmed that the accounts will be in USD and the commission structure is going to be the same as that of the US company which you can see below.
Can you believe it you wil be able to get in and out of stocks for $0 from your broker. There might be small exchange fees, but Tastyworks is not going to charge you and options will be $1.00 per contract max $10
I know right this is unbelieveable. If you want to make sure that you know about this when it happens please sign up above so you can know how you can save money on commissions and more profits back in your pocket.
You all know I always try to give you the best free products out there and this is going to likely cause a commission revolution in Canada, but no guarantees, so be in the know and try Tasty works.
Minimum to Open Tastyworks Account
I’m sure you thought that is amazing on commission right, well it just gets better. Many of the Canadian brokers with better tools such as charting and level 2 have high minimum requirements to trade US securities instruments.
Again Tastyworks is making it easier to enter the trading world with a minimum of only $2000 USD to open an account to for trading.
This I know can be a big hurdle for newer traders to begin trading in Canada with a broker locally. There are off shore brokers, but I have heard horror stories about money being tied up and people not being able to withdraw their own funds.
Small Exchange in Canada
The Small Exchange securities instruments will be available with Tastyworks, but that will likely come in 2021 as the Futures intruments are in the works for Tastyworks Canada. All Futures products should be available, but patience we be part of that once they are established in Canada end of this year.
Save on Commissions in Canada
Commissions are a huge cose for Canadian traders. When you are looking about making a profit in a trade you have to manage risk and also take cost of the trade into the equation. Well when you are trading stocks at $0 commission then you have more room on your risk and you can always get in and out no cost.
It will make it easier to manage risk with a zero cost. So make sure to sign up on the mailing list and I will keep you up to date with the progression of the new savings that are possible for Canadian traders.

I hear this all the time.. How can the market be up while the signs are pointing to the worst time in history for business and unemployment.
Well let me tell you we have been following the uptrend easily because we are following the big guys in the dark pools. If you do not already know what the darkpool of the stock market then check out this video below.
The say that the market can be irrational longer than you can be solvent is 100% true. You can look at the news and the fundamentals of a company all day long, however where the big guys of the market are placing their money they have the ability to manipulate the market.
It is best not to be stubborn in the market. Especially when you know that there is a large trade that has happened and you are against it. Even when you look at a company’s fundamentals (meaning their accounting statement) there is nothing to stop the stock from rising against the shorts and squeezing them.
It can be seen with stocks and it can even be seen with indexes. This is part of the reason why I pay attention to short volume. I have been tracking short volume for stocks and the indexes since mid February and learned alot about how people were being stubborn with shorts.
You can see the Indexes or stocks at the top row. and the week average for the stocks of short volume. If you look at week of April 2nd there were more people buying the major name stocks and the yet many people were still shorting the indexes.
So what happened was we had a big squeeze in the market. We also saw prints from the big guys if you want to learn more about trading around the dark pool come and join us in The Training Pit.

Trading from home for many is a blessing, but sometimes it can be a curse. For someone that is a big socializer, they might miss the attributes of having coworkers in an office setting.
Working from home
This was my goal once I had my first daughter. How can I set up my home office to be readily available for my now 2 daughters.
I am an expat living in Quebec, Canada and I tried to go to my former career from the states of being a real estate agent. All was going well until I was told I had to pass a french exam before receiving my license as an agent.
Wouldn’t you know I passed the real estate portion of my exam, but due to health issues of my daughter I did not pass my french exam.
Sometimes the biggest negatives can be life lessons to make lemonade out of lemons. This was one example.
I did some soul searching and rediscovered my passion for stocks and studied to work from home or anywhere with internet access and my laptop.
That is when I found myself becoming a daytrader an searching for like minded people.
Day Trading Community
First step for me was looking for a mentor to learn from and a group to join as a trader. When you work from home especially as a trader it is definitely a solitary job in your home office unless you reach out to others.
I know for myself I need to have that community to hold me accountable and need fellow traders to communicate with and as a result I tested out different chat and trading rooms.
First off I found Timothy Sykes with his penny stocks program and how to be a millionaire. I hung around there for a year as part of the program and it was great for me to learn some basics. However I felt his chat room had a bunch of ego traders in there all about their profits
His strategy of penny stocks works well for him but not for me. I realized that I had to find my strategy. It was too high risk for me.
Then I tested out Ross Camerons Warrior Trading room, and I learned from some of his colleagues and learned all about the Trade Ideas Scanning Software.
After learning about the software I discovered the Trade Ideas Free Trading Room. It is a great room where Barrie the moderator helps to educate you about the software, AI and potential trades.
There are also many other great traders there and for me I found it to be a perfect fit that is until I discovered the darkpool. I’m sure I know what your next question is …..
What is the dark pool ?
Well the definition of the dark pool according to Investopedia is as follows.
You can see that the dark pool is where the big institutions and large money traders go to get the best fees and best fills for their trades.
Now how did I learn about the darkpools? Well it happened when I was writing my book, #FMJ Trust Transition Trade. It is a book about female traders with different experience from 5 months to 25+years.
One of the top seasoned traders interviewed was Stefanie Kammerman and she enlightened me on the darkpools. I became more and more curious and then asked her to speak at my trading Summit, The Modern Traders Summit.
It was there during her presentation that my interest was really peaked. Why not follow the guys placing these trades?
So I joined her in the Java Pit in 2017 and have never looked back. When you have the ability to ride the coat tails of these guys you can profit. And you can profit big time.
I would mention all the times that we have seen the prints come out before the news, but there would simply be 100s of examples. One of the most recent ones was before the potential threat of impeachment.
We say the prints happening on the indexes 3 days before the news came out. And we see it happen before major oil moves, earnings and more.
So I have found my happy trading place in the Java Pit. It is a great trading room where everyone works together to help spot these amazing trades.
Now the Java Pit is not a beginners room. If you are more of a beginner or want to learn more about trading around the dark pool and that edge then you might like the Training Pit.
Trading with an edge
Trading right off the bat is 50/50 success rate. If you can skew that in your favor then you want to stick with that edge.
The Training Pit can help to teach you the basics of trading and how to use the darkpool as your trading edge. To be honest the market is moved by the guys who have placed these trades in the darkpool.
In the beginning it can be very confusing. What is a darkpool print? What am I supposed to do with it? Once you start to see how it works for a couple of months the lightbulb turns on.
Ah hah, this is how the big guys get in before the news is announced and how they make money. I don’t need to know any insider information.
When you have the prints of the guys that are in the know you just follow them.
If you have been following me you know I am passionate about helping others learn to trade and keep their profits. Well I took the step to teach August 2019 in the Training Pit.
We help you learn more than just the mechanics of trading, but also how to set up your charts, software, terminology and much more. There are over typically 9 live webinars a week which are all downloadable if you are not able to watch them live.
This is the place I wish I discoverd back in 2019. Just like my book is one I wish I had to read breaking into the trading world, this room is one I wish I had in the beginning.
Trader Meetups
Meeting in person to relate is also huge and Traders Meet ups are amazing. This Fall I have two on my agenda and they are both free if you are interested in joining .
I hope to see you there, but if you are not able to join us and you might still have questions you can reach out to me at carpeprofit@gmail.com or in the comments below.

When it is earnings season day traders get excited. It increases the volatility in the market to open up more trading opportunities. The stocks that are reporting earnings before the open or reporting earnings after the close tend to always have more volume and activity.
Today July 25th is in the earnings calendar one of the biggest days of the earnings season. I love EarningsWhispers.com for seeing the upcoming earnings in both calendar format and also individual breakdown with expected earnings results.
Here is today’s earnings Calendar. You can see this morning before the bell there were 156 companies reporting and 152 to report after the bell. Not only are there 152 reporting but some of the strongest stocks in the market such as AMZN, GOOGL, GOOG SBUX, INTC,
SPY ETF Holdings
These are part of the SPY and QQQ ETFs and when they have a big gap it can affect the market overall. To give you some idea of the strength that they have in affecting the market here is their weight in the ETFS.
$AMZN is 3.29% of the $SPY and 10.31% of the $QQQ
$GOOG is 1.39% of the $SPY and 4.17% of the $QQQ
$GOOGL is 1.36% of the $SPY and 3.67% of the $QQQ
$SBUX is 0.44% of the $SPY and is 1.27% of the $QQQ
$INTC is 0.94% of thh $SPY and is 2.67% of the $QQQ
I use ETFdb.com for my stats. A great resource to find out the holdings in ETFs and what ETFS hold a certain stock and the weight within the ETFs as well as overall shares held.
So overall we have 7.42% of the $SPY ETF reporting tonight and 22.09% of the $QQQ ETF reporting tomorrow. So this could cause big moves in the indexes tomorrow and the market overall. So how do you possible trade this into earnings
Options Trading Strategies Earnings
As Ricki the Options Whisperer from the Java Pit Trading room says, Options have options. There are 101 different ways to trade options, but this will help you with some simple strategies and concepts into trading them with earnings.
The number one important thing to remember with options into Earnings is that the Implied Volatility goes up and so does the cost of the options. Below is a screenshot from Think or Swim and their estimated Market Maker Move in Yellow.
So you see that the estimated Market Maker Move is 68.345 points. This could be either a gain or a loss with earnings. There are never any guarantees in trading.
In option chains you can see that the Market Maker Move is priced in with the premiums on the options so if you were to go outside of the Market Maker Move you would like be making better money if it moves further.
So the expected range for Amazon to report is 1993.1-68.35 =1924.75 or above 1993.1+68.35 = 2061.45. This is a very wide range and sometime AMZN can move over 100 points in a day.
Now options trading overnight into Earnings is a Gamble. There is no way to know where the price will open. The market will decide the direction. Many time the larger traders in the market already have a hint of what will happen and make their trades days or weeks before the report comes out.
I can’t advise you what to do in trading, but in my opinion unless you want to place a lotto trade into earnings for profit knowing you can lose 100% It is better to trade up to earnings with options and then the stock the day of earnings.
Options as Insurance
If you are a longer term investor there is always the possibility to buy options as insurance for your position. So say you have 100 shares of AMZN that you have been holding as it has been gaining in value.
As a vertically integrated company there has been a great amount of growth not only in the Retail Sector but also in their cloud services and now airline and robotics and potential crypto currency.
Back to insurance for your position. So you have your 100 shares and you are worried potentially about the DOJ saying they have to be broken up, or Bezos having to sell shares with his divorce or whatever the cause. Earnings is tonight and you want to make sure that those shares are protected in case of massive drop.
Knowing that the Stock has a $68 projected move you could buy cheaper options to protect yourself. You could do that on $AMZN options or also on $QQQ options as you know that it is 10% of the ETF and could case a big move.
You could buy 1 put contract on $AMZN expiring tomorrow Juy 26th at 1920 in case it had a bigger drop. The cost of that option in writing this would be 10.5 roughly or $1050 and if you had your 100 shares drop down there roughy $73 that would be a $7300 loss.
Another potential option would be an ETF that has lower cost options and might still have a big potential move. In going through the ETFS holding AMZN that have weekly options QQQ , XLY and IVV are potential option considerations. We know AMZN is 10.31% of QQQ, 23.53% of $XLY and 3.3% of IVV.
$QQQ is expecting roughly $1.93 move into tomorrow, $XLY is expecting roughly $1.26 move and $1.6 for $IVV into tomorrow.
Now we can look at the costs for that move for $QQQ to 191.5 puts for roughly $2 move it would be roughly .28 cents for $XLY a $1.26 move would put us at 122 puts costing .21 cents and finally $IVV drop would put us at 300 put roughtly .25 with wide spreads.
It looks like $XLY might be the best option to hedge in this scenario as the puts are less expensive and you could buy 50 contracts if you wanted to equal the cost of 1 AMZN put contract.
All thoughts on how you could possible protect you investment with $100 or 5 122 puts on $XLY expiring tomorrow. And as we know insurance in life is only good when you use it. If the stock gaps up you will be gaining that $100 on your 100 shares in a $1 gap up. This is the protection if you have a gap down.
Trading Options after Earnings Reporting
First of all if you have ever traded options you see that the implied volatility and cost of the options are always higher in the first couple minutes of the market open with the volatility of the stock. Once the stock settles into a direction the prices of the options drop.
Well on Earnings Day that implied volatility from the day prior drops back to normal morning open. If the market makers move was 68 pintsand it moves 60 points you might even see that you have a bit of a loss depending on what option you bought.
In the above example of buying out of the money options as insurance the implied volatility will only cover the drop and really become profitable when those options become in the money.
There are other options to trading options into earnings, with butterflies, strangles, straddles and more. Some even selling close up options and buying out a week. The abilities to use options to trade is limitless.
Bottom line is trade with proper risk management and be cautious of holding through earnings and prepare yourself for that potential move that is coming in the market tomorrow.
Tonight could be a pivotal night in the direction of the market. It could catapult is into the next new highs or it could be the beginning of the drop that everyone has been talking about.
