Edwards Lifesciences - Chart of the day

Edwards Lifesciences (EW) is the Barchart Chart of the Day.  The medical instruments company has a Trend Spotter buy signal, a Weighted Alpha of 32.80+ and gained 30.22% in the last year.

The Chart of the Day belongs to Edwards Lifesciences (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%.
