## 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, GPN included. It clears market-wide when the index reclaims $768.72.

### Long-term trend rising — pass

GPN's 50-day average has risen to $81.11, up from $75.87 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

GPN hasn't touched its 21-day average ($89.35) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $89.35.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

GPN closed at $92.96, 0.7% above its 9-day average ($92.30) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $92.30.

### Not overextended — pass

GPN 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 GPN'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

GPN has outpaced the S&P 500 by 0.3 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if GPN starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — pass

A stop under the recent swing low ($90.84) sits 2.3% below GPN'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 0.7× 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 — fail

Recent volume is 0.96× GPN's 20-day average — above the 0.8× threshold, so this check fails (the move is drawing heavy volume). It passes once volume cools below 0.8×.
