The Chart of the Day belongs to Square (SQ). I found the payment processing stock by using Barchart to sort the Russell 3000 Index stocks first for the highest Weighted Alpha, then I used the FlipChart feature to find stocks trading above their 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 2/23 the stock gained 41.05%.
