Historically, an Amazon earnings strategy has seen an 80% win rate which is higher than the metric for Apple, which is 66%. Total gains for Amazon came in at $190.18 while losses clocked in at $55.81. This indicated for every dollar that was put at risk you made back $3.4. This risk adjusted return is slightly lower compared to Apple's risk reward ratio of $4.67.<\/p>\n<p>So what is your strategy?<\/p>\n<p>I believe to be successful in trading you must have a destination in mind, not only for yourself, but also where you believe the market is headed.
