When Platform Position Style Trades Go Momentum: FTAI

This platform position-style trade is starting to shift to a momentum or swing-style trade, which happens frequently with platforming trends. Above is a daily chart so you can see the shifting daily patterns from platforming to momentum.

The angle of ascent is getting steeper, which is best seen on a weekly chart, below. If you are holding this stock or others similar to this trend, it is time to shift gears to watch for speculative trading and other risk factors.

At some point the angle of ascent will be too steep to sustain the uptrend and you will need to plan how to manage the trade: take profits or hold? Is there potential for longer-term growth? If so, a profit stop must leave ample room for the stock to adjust out the big gains.
