Chart Of The Day: Teradata Is On A Tear

The Chart of the Day belongs to the software company Teradata (TDC).  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 5/3 the stock gained 33.53%.
