CST Brands Inc Fund Forecast
Explanation to Bollinger's Bands
Bollinger Bands was created by John Bollinger in the early 1980s, its purpose is to define price action relative to the assets highs and lows. This technical indicator is used to identify buy and sell signals and has proven very well in doing so.
Bollinger Bands consist of a set of three curves drawn in relation to securities prices. The middle band is a measure of the intermediate-term trend, usually a simple moving average, that serves as the base for the upper and lower bands. The interval between the upper and lower bands and the middle band is determined by volatility, typically the standard deviation of the same data that were used for the average. StockInvest.us uses Bollingers suggested 20 day average.
Middle Bollinger Band = 20-period simple moving average
Upper Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band + 2 * 20-period standard deviation
Lower Bollinger Band = Middle Bollinger Band - 2 * 20-period standard deviation
BandWidth defines the current width of the band.
%b defines the current position within the band.
BandWidth = (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band) / Middle Bollinger Band
%b = (Last - Lower Bollinger Band) / (Upper Bollinger Band - Lower Bollinger Band)
Live Samples:
Bottlenecks in bandwidth indicate an upcoming change. Break up through the moving average line or continuous movements above the moving average line indicate a break up, and vice versa.

CST Brands Inc fund downgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Updated on Aug 14, 2017)

The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 0% change for the last 2 weeks.

Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect CST Brands Inc fund with a 90% probability to be traded between $48.64 and $48.91 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and funds seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Funds turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

CST Signals & Forecast
There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, June 26, 2017, and so far it has fallen -0.0206%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day while price remained unchanged. This may be an early warning, but it may also not. We still recommend that you pay attention over the next couple of days. The fund had a Golden Star Signal on Tuesday, June 13, 2017 for the short-term and also have Golden Star Signal for the medium-term dated Monday, May 01, 2017.
Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the fund in question.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for CST Brands Inc fund
CST Brands Inc finds support from accumulated volume at $48.36 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
In general the fund tends to have very controlled movements and with good liquidity the risk is considered very low in this stock. During the last day, the fund moved $0.0100 between high and low, or 0.0206%. For the last week the fund has had daily average volatility of 0.0041%.
Our recommended stop-loss: $46.59 (-4.01%) (This fund has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 34 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (CST) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 15th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 15th we expect CST Brands Inc to open at $48.53, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $48.52 and $48.54, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.0143 (+/-0.03%) up or down from last closing price. If CST Brands Inc takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.06% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $48.54 (0.02%) than the support at $48.36 (0.35%), 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.
Is CST Brands Inc fund A Buy?
CST Brands Inc holds several negative signals and this should be a sell candidate, but due to the general chance for a turnaround situation it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this fund since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
Current score: -0.120 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded
