How to Short Amazon Using Butterflies

Hey traders!

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is shaking markets again, and it’s time to look for tickers we can short on the way back down.

I like to do this via bearish butterflies because it gives me the best risk to reward and a trade with a low debit, especially when compared to buying puts.
