After the close of business today Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) will report its fourth quarter earnings. I thought it would be interesting to go back and look at the last three years to see how you would have done if you just used this simple trade strategy.<\/p>\n

The premise is simple, when both the weekly and monthly Trade Triangles are in sync, i.e. when they are both in the same direction, you would take a position on the close in the direction the Trade Triangles were indicating. You would then exit this position the following day on the close.<\/p>\n

So here's what is needed to make a trade in Apple before today's earnings report is released. The position is taken the day Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)<\/a> releases its earnings report, i.e. today.<\/p>\n

(1) Both the weekly and monthly Trade Triangles are in sync.<\/p>\n

(2) Take a position on the close in the direction the Trade Triangles are indicating.<\/p>\n

(3) Exit the position the following day on the close.<\/p>\n

These are simple, straightforward instructions. As an old mentor of mine used to say, \"They don't pay you any more for making it complicated.\"<\/p>\n

So how has this worked in the past?<\/p>\n

Here's a spreadsheet of how the market reacted the following day after Apple released its quarterly earnings beginning on 1\/23\/13. I tracked a total of 12 quarters and only showed ideal trading conditions in 6 quarters. Out of those 6 quarters using MarketClub's Trade Triangle approach, this strategy showed profits in 4 quarters for a 66% win streak. Total gains came to $18.52, while losses clocked in at $3.96. This indicated for every dollar that was put at risk you made $4.67 back, not a bad risk reward ratio. Had you used options, the returns would be significantly higher.<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/p>\n

Based on the current Trade Triangle formation, you would be taking a short position in Apple on the close today. This is the first time since 2013 that both Trade Triangles are in a negative position. That trade back on 1\/23\/13 produced a profit the following day of $9.06.<\/p>\n

Can history repeat? No one knows for sure, but certainly the indicators are there and Apple is in a downtrend at the moment. The only thing that would neutralize and negate this trade would be if Apple were to trade over $105.85. Otherwise, this trade is a go.<\/p>\n

Just remember there are no guarantees and trading only percentages and odds. It would appear at the moment the odds are in your favor. <\/p>\n

Stay focused and disciplined.<\/p>\n

Every success with MarketClub,
