What Does the Conviction Tag on an Expert Signal Mean?
The Conviction tag on a Pluang Expert Signal is a short label the research team picks from a set list, such as Strong Buy, Watch or High Conviction, to show its view of that pick. It sits at the top of the card.
How to read the Conviction tag
| Example tag | What it signals |
|---|---|
| Strong Buy | The research team sees this as a pick to buy |
| High Conviction | The research team holds this view with high confidence |
| Watch | The research team is following the asset, rather than seeing a clear entry yet |
The labels come from a list the research team chooses from, so the same label means the same thing across signals. The list can change over time. The tag is not a button; tapping it does nothing.
The tag doesn't change the Entry Price, Target Price or Horizon. Read it together with those numbers and the short view, and open Read More when a research note is attached. The research team can change the tag while a signal is live.
Users without Pluang+ also see the Conviction tag on the top pick for each asset class, with the prices hidden.

Q: Is the Conviction tag the same as Analyst Ratings?
No. Analyst Ratings is a consensus of third-party analysts for US stocks. The Conviction tag is Pluang's research team's own label on an Expert Signal.
Q: Does a stronger tag mean the Target Price will be reached?
No. It shows the research team's view, not a promise. Prices can move against any pick.
Q: Can the tag change after a signal is published?
Yes. The research team can update it while the signal is live, and the change shows in the app right away.
Q: Can I filter signals by Conviction tag?
No. Signals are listed by priority, newest first within the same priority.
