Trading Directional Butterflies

Earnings Strategy

In this Trade Review video, I cover my 100% winner which was a directional butterfly in Amazon. I traded this ticker due to a combination of a technical plus fundamental setup, where I had a solid entry with an edge.

In the video, I explain how I used the options chain combined with a technical setup to construct the trade, and how and why I decided to close it out.

This is one of my favorite trading setups which I apply all the time using butterflies! Check out the video to learn more.
