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

### Long-term trend rising — fail

LPTH's 50-day average is $13.03, down from $13.70 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — fail

LPTH hasn't touched its 21-day average ($12.50) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $12.50.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

LPTH closed at $15.17, 15.6% above its 9-day average ($13.12) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $13.12.

### Not overextended — pass

LPTH 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 LPTH'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

LPTH has outpaced the S&P 500 by 40.6 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if LPTH starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $12.39 is 18.3% below LPTH'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 2.4× 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 — fail

Recent volume is 2.23× LPTH'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×.
