Time to Buy?

The Daily Price chart above shows that AXP stock has been hitting new 52-Week Highs regularly this week.

Simply put, a stock does not just continually hit a series of new 52-Week Highs unless it is in a very strong bullish trend.

The Hughes Optioneering team looks for stocks that are making a series of 52-Week Highs as this is a good indicator that the stock is in a powerful uptrend.

How I Would Trade This Pick

Now, since AXP stock is currently making a series of new 52-Week Highs and will likely rally from here, let’s use the Hughes Optioneering calculator to look at the potential returns for an AXP call option spread.

For this option spread, the calculator analysis below reveals the cost of the spread is $658 (circled). The maximum risk for an option spread is the cost of the spread.

The analysis reveals that if AXP stock is flat, up, or down 7.5% at option expiration the spread will realize a 52.0% return (circled). 

Due to option pricing characteristics, this option spread has a ‘built in’ 52.0% profit potential when the trade was identified*.

Option spread trades can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to a directional option trade if you can profit when the underlying stock/ETF is up, down or flat.

A higher percentage of winning trades can give you the discipline needed to become a successful trader. 

The Hughes Optioneering Team is here to help you identify profit opportunities just like this one.
