The Chart of the Day belongs to Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE:EW). I found the medical instruments stock by using Barchart to sort the All Time High list first by technical buy signals, hen I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 2/3 the stock gained 3.91%.
