Lotto Friday trades are never about forcing action — they’re about waiting for price to come to us, defining risk clearly, and letting momentum do the rest. Today’s $AMZN trade was a textbook example of that process playing out cleanly from watch → entry → execution → follow-through.
Pre-Market & Early Watch
Just before 10AM, $AMZN was on my radar as price hovered near a key area where downside momentum could accelerate if sellers stepped in.
At 9:52 AM, I alerted that I was watching $AMZN 227.5 puts, marking the level publicly and letting price prove itself first.
This wasn’t a prediction — it was preparation.
Entry & Risk Defined
At 9:52 AM, price action confirmed what I was looking for.
Trade Entry
- Ticker: $AMZN
- Contract: 12DEC25 227.5P
- Entry: $0.69
One minute later, the plan was fully defined:
- Stop: 228.85
- Alternative: Lotto-style risk (defined, small, and intentional)
Once the risk was set, there was nothing left to guess.
Momentum Builds Quickly
The trade wasted no time getting to work.
- 10:01 AM: Puts trading at $0.80
- 10:08 AM: Puts hit $1.20
Momentum was accelerating, and price was doing exactly what a clean lotto setup should do — move fast and decisively.
At 10:13 AM, $AMZN printed a picture-perfect BRB right at our put trigger around 228.46, reinforcing the technical validity of the move.
Lotto Friday Energy
By 10:25 AM, it was clear this trade had legs.
Lotto Friday isn’t just about gains — it’s about execution, confidence, and letting winners breathe. Today checked all three boxes.
Scaling & Results
As selling pressure continued, the options followed through beautifully:
- 11:06 AM: Puts reached $1.75
- 11:08 AM: +150% achieved ✅
- 11:25 AM: +250% achieved ✅
From a $0.69 entry to +250%, this was a clean, controlled lotto trade with defined risk and exceptional follow-through.
Final Thoughts
This $AMZN trade wasn’t luck — it was process.
- Clear level
- Defined risk
- No chasing
- Letting price confirm
- Allowing momentum to work
That’s how Lotto Friday trades are meant to be approached. Some weeks they don’t fire. Some weeks they do — and when they do, the goal is to stay disciplined and let the market pay you.
Great way to close out the week.
Happy Lotto Friday. 🎯
