Position-sizing example
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 Church & Dwight Co. Inc (CHD) using a pattern called a Trend Pullback to 20 EMA. This means the stock has been moving up, but it recently dipped back toward its average price from the last 20 days. The stock is currently trading above its 20, 50, and 200-day moving averages. A moving average is a line that shows the average price over a certain number of days to help see the direction of a trend. The scanner gave this setup a score of 65 out of 100.
What the price plan means
The entry zone is between $97.64 and $98.21. If you use this plan, your first goal is to reach $104.44, and your second goal is $107.84. To manage risk, there is a stop-loss price at $94.24. A stop-loss is a set price where you would exit the trade to prevent losing too much money. 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's relative volume is 0.69, which means it is trading with less activity than usual. If the price drops below the stop-loss level of $94.24, the technical setup is no longer valid.
