Ardelyx - Chart Of The Day

The Chart of the Day belongs to Ardelyx (NASDAQ:ARDX). I found the biopharmaceutical company by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for the highest Barchart technical buy signals then again for a Weighted Alpha of 50.00+ or better. Next I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts, Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 9/2 the stock gained 10.94%.
