AMZN/BABA: Interesting pair trade 

AMZN/BABANASDAQ

Description

We have an interesting setup with only 3.65% downside, but with a potential 23.02% upside based on my 'Time at Mode' analysis of this ratio chart.
Fundamentals for AMZN are good in the long term, it has been a relatively strong company, and has many interesting future developments ahead (like the introduction of drone delivery of goods, ocean freights from China, to name a few).
Many would consider it to be overvalued, but I think it offers a good technical and fundamental setup here, pitted against Alibaba.

The idea is to go long AMZN and short BABA, adjusting the position size based on volatility.
I won't delve much into the specifics of position sizing but it's of paramount importance for this type of trade.
If we risk 1%, we can make 6.3% in this trade, and it's an intermediate to long term trade.

Good luck if taking it with me.
Cheers,

Ivan Labrie.

We were close to target recently with amzn's rally...that was a good exit. Now I'm on the fence with this one.
