## Why each check reads this way

### Market trend rising — pass

The S&P 500 ($776.34) is above its 10-day average ($771.09), so the market-trend check passes for every stock today, ACA included. It flips market-wide if the index closes below $771.09.

### Long-term trend rising — pass

ACA's 50-day average has risen to $140.78, up from $136.38 10 sessions ago, so the long-term trend check passes. It would flip if that average stopped rising over its 10-session window.

### Pulled back to support — fail

ACA hasn't touched its 21-day average ($144.58) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $144.58.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

ACA closed at $145.40, 0.2% above its 9-day average ($145.08) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $145.08.

### Not overextended — pass

ACA has 0 consecutive up-closes into today — under the limit of 2, so it isn't overextended and this check passes. It flips after a second straight green close.

### No recent earnings miss — pass

No high-volume gap-down consistent with an earnings miss has appeared in ACA's last 30 sessions, so this check passes. It would flip if such a gap-down showed up inside that window.

### Outperforming the market — fail

ACA has trailed the S&P 500 by 4.2 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check fails. It passes once ACA leads the index again.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $144.69 is only 0.5% below ACA's price — tighter than the 2% floor, so the risk check fails (too little room to work). It passes once the stop sits 2–8% below price.

### Adequate stop room — pass

The stop sits 1.3× the average daily range (ATR) from price, clearing the 1-ATR minimum, so this check passes — the stop isn't buried inside normal noise. It flips if that room tightens inside 1× ATR.

### Quiet pullback volume — pass

Recent volume is 0.64× ACA's 20-day average — below the 1.2× threshold, so the pullback looks quiet and this check passes. It flips if volume pushes past 1.2× that average.
