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

### Long-term trend rising — fail

LEGN's 50-day average is $26.34, down from $28.11 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — pass

LEGN has dipped to its 21-day average ($21.45) 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

LEGN closed at $20.27, 0.7% below its 9-day average ($20.42), so this momentum check fails. It passes again on a close above $20.42.

### Not overextended — pass

LEGN 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 LEGN's last 30 sessions, so this check fails. It clears once that event ages out of the 30-session window.

### Outperforming the market — fail

LEGN has trailed the S&P 500 by 14.4 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check fails. It passes once LEGN leads the index again.

### Stop distance within range — pass

A stop under the recent swing low ($19.82) sits 2.2% below LEGN'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 0.4× 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 0.70× LEGN'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.
