The Chart of the Day belongs to the Bitcoin miner Riot Platforms (RIOT) formerly known as Riot Blockchain. I found the stock by using Barchart's powerful screening functions to find stocks with the highest technical buy signals, highest Weighted Alpha, superior current momentum, and having a Trend Seeker buy signal then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 7/3 the stock gained 53.03%.
