Trading Expectations (WES) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 29th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Western Gas Partners LP to open at $35.83, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $35.20 and $36.54, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.672 (+/-1.87%) up or down from last closing price. If Western Gas Partners LP takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.75% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $35.93 (0.17%) than the support at $33.78 (5.83%), 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.
