The Chart of the Day belongs to Walker & Dunlop (WD).  I found the financial services stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for a Weighted Alpha above 50.00+ then again for technical buy signals greater than 80%.  Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 9/21 the stock gained 17.59%.
