For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Lincoln National Corporation to open at $37.40, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $36.66 and $37.68, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.01 (+/-2.76%) up or down from last closing price. If Lincoln National Corporation takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.76% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $37.53 (0.97%) than the support at $36.69 (1.29%), 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.
