## 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, KALU included. It flips market-wide if the index closes below $768.16.

### Long-term trend rising — pass

KALU's 50-day average has risen to $174.13, up from $174.06 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

KALU hasn't touched its 21-day average ($174.77) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $174.77.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

KALU closed at $182.75, 1.0% above its 9-day average ($180.88) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $180.88.

### Not overextended — pass

KALU 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 KALU'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

KALU has outpaced the S&P 500 by 10.8 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if KALU starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — pass

A stop under the recent swing low ($171.81) sits 6.0% below KALU'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 — pass

The stop sits 1.2× 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× KALU'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.
