Instructions:

The rules that govern the data in this report are the rules of Technical Analysis.  For example, if MCK 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.

Swing Trades, Day Trades, and Longer term Trading Plans:

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

Longer Term Trading Plans for MCK

• Buy MCK slightly over 228.90 target n/a stop loss @ 228.24. Details

The technical summary data tells us to buy MCK near 228.90, 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 228.24 to protect against excessive loss in case the stock begins to move against the trade. 228.90 is the first level of support below 245.31, and by rule, any test of support is a buy signal. In this case, if support 228.90 is being tested, a buy signal would exist.

• NONE . Details

NONE .
There are no current resistance levels from the summary table, and therefore there are no Short resistance Plans which tell us to short upon tests of resistance. Resistance levels have broken higher and unless the stock reverses lower and below support levels again short positions look risky.
