Trading Expectations (NNN) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 13th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 13th we expect National Retail Properties to open at $46.96, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $46.35 and $47.19, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.85 (+/-1.83%) up or down from last closing price. If National Retail Properties takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.83% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $47.33 (1.20%) than the support at $45.00 (3.78%), 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.
