AVD has three simple trading levels and is trading near the lows around $9.56 to $10.58. There are long wicks down to $9.56 and below for the best entry opportunities.

It then paused and subsequently we got a follow on rally whenre I bought the stock (buy price @23.36) that ended with a +180% volume increase. The stock advanced +3.32% on that day. ...

Chart pattern: Descending triangle Entry: 19.50$-21$ Stop: 19.16$ Target: 23.20$ Stopmanagement: ATR Stops daily chart default settings Risk:Reward-Ratio: > 2:1 Description: The chart formed a descending triangle and broke out of it.
