## Why each check reads this way

### Market trend rising — fail

The S&P 500 ($766.08) is below its 10-day average ($768.72), so the market-trend check fails for every stock today, DDOG included. It clears market-wide when the index reclaims $768.72.

### Long-term trend rising — fail

DDOG's 50-day average is $249.01, down from $249.04 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — pass

DDOG has dipped to its 21-day average ($242.72) within the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check passes — the entry sits near support rather than stretched above it. It flips once price goes more than 3 sessions without revisiting that average.

### Holding above short-term average — fail

DDOG closed at $227.67, 2.8% below its 9-day average ($234.32), so this momentum check fails. It passes again on a close above $234.32.

### Not overextended — pass

DDOG 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 — fail

A high-volume gap-down consistent with an earnings miss appeared in DDOG's last 30 sessions, so this check fails. It clears once that event ages out of the 30-session window.

### Outperforming the market — fail

DDOG has trailed the S&P 500 by 18.8 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check fails. It passes once DDOG leads the index again.

### Stop distance within range — pass

A stop under the recent swing low ($218.99) sits 3.8% below DDOG's price — inside the 2–8% band, so the risk check passes. It flips if that distance drops under 2% or widens past 8%.

### Adequate stop room — fail

The stop sits only 0.6× 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 0.78× DDOG'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.
