AXP Long The strong performance year-to-date reflects resilience in current market conditions. Traders should look for confirmation of a bounce off the 9 EMA and the establishment of support as entry criteria. Risk management strategies should include setting a stop loss below recent swing lows and considering a 2-3% risk allocation. Potential catalysts for upward movement include continued revenue growth and positive trends in the financial sector. Overall, there is anticipation for a breakout move following the small base formation and bounce off the 9 EMA.

A Risk Tolerance Test for All TradersRisk Tolerance trips up more traders than any other emotional aspect of trading stocks, or any other asset class. How is your risk tolerance? Would you say that you have a good stable risk tolerance? Or is it the main reason you take small gains or losses? If you need help evaluating your risk tolerance, take this Risk Tolerance Test . If any of these apply, then there is a problem you need to address: Do you get stopped out of trades and then watch as the stock moves up? This is caused by setting stops too tightly for the kind of trading style being used. Do you panic as the stock retraces and lower the stop loss to avoid getting stopped out? This actually increases risk rather than lowering it. Do you raise your stop loss before the stock forms a new consolidation for support? This also increases risk rather than lessening it. There is higher risk that you will get stopped out prematurely. Do you check profit or loss everyday on your held stocks? Position traders should only be checking their balance once a month. Swing traders could wait for the end of the month but can do it weekly. Are you a swing trader who checks your positions intraday to see what is happening? This runs the risk of reacting prematurely to intraday volatility that eventually evens out. Have you given up on using stop losses because "they don't work"? You probably just need to learn a better method for placing stop losses. Do you hold and hold with no stop loss, watching a stock tumble, unable to exit and ultimately exiting too late or "holding long term" instead? This is a chronic problem among retail traders that indicates the lack of a complete trading plan, one that provides a plan for when your holdings go against your intent. To keep your risk tolerance in check try adding these simple steps to your trade analysis: Carefully check the Risk to Reward ratio of your picks, and only trade stocks with a good probability for profit vs. loss. Consider the amount of money at risk in each trade. Think about how you would feel if you lost that money should the trade go against you. Add this parameter to your trading rules. Lower overall market risk by trading more than one or two stocks at a time. Spread your capital outlay over a few picks rather than putting it all on one trade. Use stop losses on every trade. Place stops under the appropriate support levels for the chart patterns and your intent. If you are a Swing Trader, it is important to enter trades only on strong market days. Not every flat day is a good day to swing trade. You'll keep more of your profits over time if you wait for ideal days and picks. The simplest way to improve risk tolerance is to continually paper trade on a Simulator even after you've started trading live. Most beginners do not practice executing their trading plan sufficiently before jumping into the market. They allow emotion to cloud better judgment and let greed overwhelm decisions. Trading is the only business where normally calm, intelligent, and wise people do really greedy things that end up being foolish and risky. And it all comes down to the emotions that come with money, especially fear, greed and pride. Traders have one thing to compete against and that is their own emotions, which can cause poor decisions. My best advice for all traders is this: compete against your own prior trading history to improve results, and ignore what is going on with everyone else. Summary: Emotional control comes from having a sound plan, sticking with it, and not changing it because the market has moved on a whim or some guy on social just made a lot of money. Create your trading style, which is a plan of attack for the market. Set out your strategies and use the correct ones for the current Market Condition. Only trade stocks that have a risk factor you can live with. Use stop losses appropriately, and you will be successful. Problems occur somewhere in all of this, when traders miss a step and deviate from the plan. When you feel emotions getting out of hand, controlling your trading decisions, consider the above checklists for help evaluating and adjusting your mindset. Greed is a tough emotion to control, because it is insidious and hard to identify in ourselves. Fear is easy to identify and much easier to control or harness. A certain amount of fear is necessary and good in the market, because it keeps individuals from taking too much risk. However, fear that dominates daily emotional energy only creates constant losses. Think about this and study prior trades. If they performed well after being stopped out, then there is a risk problem to address in your trading plan.

AMEX AXP THE PLATINUM CARD STILL ISNT REAL PLATINUM I recently saw another post about credit card companies, I'll link it when I find it again. Either way, it got me looking at amex again. Specifically this potential movement to the upside which takes price to around $345 Because of the alignment of trends and date of earnings, there is a chance, small, but something I've seen before in different ways, which from technicals for whatever reason allows the price to make a move to the upside like this, and generally what occurs after is a drop, which honestly tracks with other things I see in the market at times. Long term, it's hard not to see growth from a technical view, fundamentals will be best viewed on the trader's post I mentioned first, which I'll link. I've been a customer at amex for years, and I can't really say I'm not a fan because the company from the viewpoint of me, as a customer, is well run. Internally, idk, maybe it's a total mess, but the reason I like this company long term is I've seen great service for nearly a decade AND I have a hope that it not only continues, but gets better and better. Summary, Interesting setup for trading here. pay attention carefully as earnings makes things happen quickly. things can change. I know that I don't know, do you. Is amex long term, I like it. Does it fit into your portfolio, literally ask a financial advisor, they aren't dumb and can tell you why and why not. A movement such as drawn and not to be used in most cases other than to visibly see how it can swing price and still maintain a somewhat stable price through a correction, which ultimately makes the stock price a better long term investment and I'd guess that others probably view it in similar ways, especially when you look at the investment style of major investors. I say it a lot, but also, meta made this same movement in less than a year. Support does come around 200. 84, should it happen, I'd suggest seeing market conditions at that time, but ultimately seems like a steal.

$AXP - fake breakout or recharge?I typically never look at stocks that have a huge run up and seem over extended on the 1 day chart. But, the 4 hour chart clearly shows a reversal from being oversold with momentum and all key indicators pointing towards a move up. Due to the big wick on Friday, the fib channel has opened a pathway to $260. Unusual options activity at $260 strike price as well for august.... seems a bit premature but the range is evident and the last 3 candles on the 4 hour chart show it wants to move. This is interesting for me as it goes for, and against, what I look for in a price target. Then I realize, I'm against it based on feeling/judgement. The indicators point towards $260, or at least $250-$260 range. Not trade advice.

American Express May Be Sneaking HigherAmerican Express broke out to record highs in January. Now after six weeks of tight price action, some traders may expect further upside. The first pattern on today’s chart is the jump on April 19 after earnings beat estimates. AXP cleared the late-March closing high around $229 and proceeded to retest and hold that same level on May 3. So, the current month’s low is near a previous month’s high. Has old resistance become new support? Next you have a higher low above $234 this week. Third, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has remained above the 21-day EMA. That may reflect a bullish short-term trend. Finally, stochastics are near an oversold condition.
