The Barchart Chart of the Day belongs to the security alarm company Napco Security Technologies (NSSC). I found the stock by sorting Barchart's New All-Tine High list by the highest Weighted Alpha, then used the Fipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 4/11 the stock gained 37.31%.
