Trade Alert – (AMZN) August 27, 2025 – TAKE PROFITS – SELL
When John identifies a strategic exit point, he will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what security to sell, when to sell it, and at what price. Most often, it will be to TAKE PROFITS, but, on rare occasions, it will be to exercise a STOP LOSS at a predetermined price to adhere to strict risk management discipline.

Closing Trade

Another great trade for the portfolio as we rake in profits.
I executed this trade when Amazon (AMZN) experienced bad earnings, resulting in the underlying stock sinking.
The trade has been stellar, and we are harvesting close to full profits.
Well done, and on to the next trade.
If AMZN drops in the near future, I would be inclined to execute yet another bullish short-term trade.
Here are the specific trades you need to exit this position:
Sell to Close 24 September 2025 (AMZN) $195 calls at………..…$34.65
Buy to Close 24 September 2025 (AMZN) $200 calls at………….$29.68
Net Proceeds:……………………..…….………..……………………………..$4.97
Profit: $4.97 – $4.20 = $0.77
(24 X 100 X $.77) = $1,848 or 18.33%

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep-in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.
Don’t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
