## 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, FORM included. It flips market-wide if the index closes below $771.09.

### Long-term trend rising — fail

FORM's 50-day average is $122.25, down from $123.67 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — fail

FORM hasn't touched its 21-day average ($117.30) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $117.30.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

FORM closed at $131.60, 7.9% above its 9-day average ($121.96) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $121.96.

### Not overextended — fail

FORM has 2 consecutive up-closes into today — at the limit of 2, so this check fails (the entry looks extended). It passes after a flat or down close resets the streak.

### No recent earnings miss — fail

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

### Outperforming the market — pass

FORM has outpaced the S&P 500 by 20.2 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if FORM starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $112.39 is 14.6% below FORM's price — wider than the 8% ceiling, so the risk check fails (too much risk per share). It passes once that distance is back inside 2–8%.

### Adequate stop room — pass

The stop sits 1.9× 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 0.60× FORM'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.
