for a specified number of bars; showing, statistically, where the price is expected to

Technical analysis focuses on market action — specifically, volume and price. Technical analysis is only one approach
to analyzing stocks. When considering which stocks to buy or sell, you should use the approach that you're most
comfortable with. As with all your investments, you must make your own determination as to whether an investment
in any particular security or securities is right for you based on your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial
situation. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
