The Chart of the Day belongs to Whiting Petroleum (NYSE:WLL). I found the stock by sorting the All Time High list for the highest technical buy signals then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts. Since the Trend Spotter signaled a buy on 8/25 the stock gained 1.91%.

Whiting Petroleum is an independent oil and gas company that acquires, exploits, develops and explores for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids primarily in the Permian Basin, Rocky Mountains, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and Michigan regions of the United States.
