Todd Gordon's Amazon Options Trade

On CNBC's "Trading Nation", Todd Gordon suggested a bullish options strategy in Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN. He said the stock is moving towards the top end of the parallel uptrend channel and he identified a cup and handle pattern on the daily chart.

Gordon believes the stock could move towards $1,160 - $1,180 price range and he wants to use options to get a long exposure. He wants to buy the December 1,135/1,140 call spread for $2.13. The trade breaks even at $1,137.13 or 1.2 percent above the current market price. He can maximally make a profit of $2.87. Gordon advised his followers to place a stop loss at 50 percent of the premium paid.
