Scanner score: 65.0/100
Why this was flagged
UBS was identified as a bullish technical setup based on the Trend Pullback to 20 EMA pattern. The scanner found a score of 65.0/100 using trend alignment, momentum, price action, volume, and risk-management rules. Monitor update: Latest daily-chart analysis no longer reports a bullish long setup.
Trade framework
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 UBS Group AG using a pattern called a Trend Pullback to 20 EMA. This means the stock has been moving up, but it recently took a small break or "pullback." The price is currently sitting near its 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which is a tool used to show the average price over the last 20 days. The scanner gave this setup a score of 65 out of 100. It noticed that the price is above its 20, 50, and 200-day moving averages. This shows the long-term direction has been upward.
What the price plan means
The entry zone is between $51.74 and $52.01. If you use this plan, the first goal is to reach $55.02, and the second goal is $56.66. To manage risk, a stop-loss is set at $50.10. A stop-loss is an automatic instruction to exit a trade if the price drops too low. This plan has a reward-to-risk ratio of 2, which means the potential gain is twice as large as the potential loss.
What could make the idea fail
The setup might not work if the stock price falls below the stop-loss level of $50.10. If the upward trend breaks, the technical patterns used by the scanner will no longer be valid.
