Trading Expectations (CSQ) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 23rd

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 23rd we expect Calamos Strategic Total Return Fund to open at $20.53, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $20.22 and $20.60, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.372 (+/-1.84%) up or down from last closing price.
