The technical summary data tells us to buy NWPX near 43.45, but there is no current upside target from the summary table. In this case we should wait until either an update to the summary table has been made (which usually happens at the beginning of every trading day), or until the position has been stopped. The data does tell us to set a stop loss 43.32 to protect against excessive loss in case the stock begins to move against the trade. 43.45 is the first level of support below 43.58, and by rule, any test of support is a buy signal. In this case, if support 43.45 is being tested, a buy signal would exist.
NONE .
There are no current resistance levels from the summary table, and therefore there are no Short resistance Plans which tell us to short upon tests of resistance. Resistance levels have broken higher and unless the stock reverses lower and below support levels again short positions look risky.
If 44.38 begins to break higher, the technical summary data tells us to buy NWPX just slightly over 44.38, with an upside target of n/a. The data also tells us to set a stop loss @ 44.25 in case the stock turns against the trade. 44.38 is the first level of resistance above 43.58, and by rule, any break above resistance is a buy signal. In this case, 44.38, initial resistance, would be breaking higher, so a buy signal would exist. Because this plan is based on a break of resistance, it is referred to as a Long Resistance Plan.
The technical summary data is suggesting a short of NWPX if it tests 44.38 with a downside target of 43.45. We should have a stop loss in place at 44.51 though in case the stock begins to move against the trade. By rule, any test of resistance is a short signal. In this case, if resistance, 44.38, is being tested a short signal would exist. Because this plan is a short plan based on a test of resistance it is referred to as a Short Resistance Plan.
If 44.38 begins to break higher, the technical summary data tells us to buy NWPX just slightly over 44.38, with an upside target of 44.59.

In this case, 44.38, initial resistance, would be breaking higher, so a buy signal would exist. Because this plan is based on a break of resistance, it is referred to as a Long Resistance Plan.
