On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $45.00 and $44.96.

Our recommended stop-loss: $45.23 (-4.81%) (This stock has low daily movements and this gives low risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 10 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (NNN) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect National Retail Properties to open at $47.37, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $47.08 and $47.96, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.88 (+/-1.88%) up or down from last closing price. If National Retail Properties takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.88% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $48.14 (1.30%) than the support at $45.00 (5.30%), 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.
