Trading Expectations (AVK) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 15th
For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 15th we expect Advent Claymore Convertible Securities and Income Fund to open at $12.93, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $12.85 and $13.03, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.174 (+/-1.35%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $13.01 (0.54%) than the support at $12.87 (0.54%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
