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

### Long-term trend rising — fail

KLAC's 50-day average is $215.79, down from $221.63 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — pass

KLAC has dipped to its 21-day average ($194.50) 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

KLAC closed at $183.83, 2.3% below its 9-day average ($188.17), so this momentum check fails. It passes again on a close above $188.17.

### Not overextended — pass

KLAC 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 KLAC'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

KLAC has outpaced the S&P 500 by 3.1 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if KLAC starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — pass

A stop under the recent swing low ($176.44) sits 4.0% below KLAC'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 0.9× 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 0.57× KLAC'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.
