The shape of this chart

Amazon uses the same dates as the Apple challenge, March 15, 2007 to December 27, 2007, and a different path. The result is +149.5%, and nearly all of it arrives in the first hundred sessions (+109.5%). The last hundred add +19.1%. The low is session 1, so buy and hold is in from the bottom, and it still sits through a −23.6% drawdown. The worst day, October 24, 2007, is −12.0%.

What you trade

Buy and hold finishes at +149.5%, with a −23.6% drop from a high along the way. The first 100 sessions are +109.5% and the last 100 are +19.1%. The benchmark is already a strong result, so beating it means staying with the move and surviving the worst session, October 24, 2007, which moves −12.0%.

This page names Amazon because this challenge is that company. The daily puzzle and a random practice game keep the company hidden. Inside this round the chart still hides the name and the dates until you finish.
