$UPS Post Earnings Pullback TradeUnited Parcel Service, Inc.NYSE:UPSBrent_CalverTrade Setup and Rules Before UPS's earnings report, I already held a position in the stock, as indicated by my notations on the chart. However, my personal trading rules require a minimum profit margin of 10% to maintain any position through an earnings announcement. Since my trade did not meet this threshold, I chose not to hold it through the event. Earnings Reaction and Market Behavior Following the report, UPS experienced a notable gap up in price. My usual approach is to wait several days after an earnings release to observe how the market responds. Often, this period brings a pullback in the stock, and that pattern has occurred here. Technical Analysis and Trade Execution On my chart, I identified what appeared to be a Flag pattern, and I drew a line to track its progression. I set an alert to notify me if UPS broke out above this pattern. This breakout occurred this morning, even as the broader market remained weak. In response, I initiated a half-size position according to my plan. To manage risk, I placed my stop-loss order just below the most recent low, resulting in a risk exposure of less than 4% on this trade.
