Instructions:

The rules that govern the data in this report are the rules of Technical Analysis.  For example, if ATVI is testing support buy signals surface, and resistance is the target.  Conversely, if resistance is being tested, that is a sign to control risk or short, and support would be the downside target accordingly.  In each case, the trigger point is designed to be both an ideal place to enter a position (avoid trading in the middle of a trading channel), and it acts as a level of risk control too.

This data is refined to differentiate trading plans for Day Trading, Swing Trading, and Long Term Investing plans for ATVI too.  All of these are offered below the Summary Table.

Longer Term Trading Plans for ATVI

• Buy ATVI slightly over 73.31 target n/a stop loss @ 73.1. Details

The technical summary data tells us to buy ATVI near 73.31, but there is no current upside target from the summary table. In this case we should wait until either an update to the summary table has been made (which usually happens at the beginning of every trading day), or until the position has been stopped. The data does tell us to set a stop loss 73.1 to protect against excessive loss in case the stock begins to move against the trade. 73.31 is the first level of support below 81.52, and by rule, any test of support is a buy signal. In this case, if support 73.31 is being tested, a buy signal would exist.
