The Chart of the Day belongs to the automotive technology and manufacturer Tesla (TSLA). 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 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 5/22 the stock gained 35.96%.
