The Chart of the Day belongs to Zendesk (ZEN). I found the software development stock by using Barchart to sort today's Top Stocks to Own list first by the highest Weighted Alpha, then I used to Flipchart feature to review the charts till I found one with consistent price appreciation over the last 6 months. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy in 4/12 the stock gained 3.95%.
