These examples use the distance between the reference entry and stop-loss. They do not account for commissions, slippage, taxes, overnight gaps, or your personal account size.
Exit plan
- Stop-loss: Exit if the stop-loss is reached. Do not move the stop farther away to avoid taking the planned loss.
- Target 1: Consider taking partial profit when Target 1 is reached and reducing risk on the remaining shares.
- Target 2 or trailing exit: Consider closing the remaining position at Target 2, or use a disciplined trailing stop only if the trend remains strong.
- Time exit: Reassess or close a trade that fails to progress within the suggested holding window.

Easy explanation for new investors
The scanner found WEC Energy Group Inc using a pattern called a Trend Pullback to 20 EMA. This means the stock has been moving up, but it recently took a small step back toward its average price from the last 20 days. The scanner gave this setup a score of 65 out of 100. It noticed that the current price is above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages. These are lines that show the average price over different amounts of time. Being above these lines shows a positive trend. Also, the RSI, which measures how fast prices are changing, shows healthy momentum without being too high.
What the price plan means
The entry zone is between 115.83 and 116.39. If you enter here, the first goal is to reach 122.57, and the second goal is 125.94. To manage risk, a stop-loss is set at 112.46. A stop-loss is an automatic instruction to exit if the price drops too far. The reward-to-risk ratio is 2, which means the potential gain is twice as large as the potential loss.
What could make the idea fail
The stock might not follow the pattern. If the price falls below the stop-loss level of 112.46, the setup is no longer valid.
