## Why each check reads this way

### Market trend rising — pass

The S&P 500 ($777.88) is above its 10-day average ($768.16), so the market-trend check passes for every stock today, CMC included. It flips market-wide if the index closes below $768.16.

### Long-term trend rising — fail

CMC's 50-day average is $69.75, down from $69.96 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — fail

CMC hasn't touched its 21-day average ($70.71) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $70.71.

### Holding above short-term average — fail

CMC closed at $72.13, 0.1% below its 9-day average ($72.22), so this momentum check fails. It passes again on a close above $72.22.

### Not overextended — pass

CMC 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 CMC's last 30 sessions, so this check passes. It would flip if such a gap-down showed up inside that window.

### Outperforming the market — pass

CMC has outpaced the S&P 500 by 5.0 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if CMC starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $71.36 is only 1.1% below CMC'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 — fail

The stop sits only 0.3× the average daily range (ATR) from price — inside the 1-ATR minimum, so this check fails (normal noise could hit it). It passes once there's at least 1× ATR of room.

### Quiet pullback volume — pass

Recent volume is 0.44× CMC's 20-day average — below the 0.8× threshold, so the pullback looks quiet and this check passes. It flips if volume pushes past 0.8× that average.
