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

### Long-term trend rising — pass

MKTX's 50-day average has risen to $126.74, up from $120.81 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

MKTX hasn't touched its 21-day average ($146.69) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $146.69.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

MKTX closed at $162.60, 2.4% above its 9-day average ($158.75) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $158.75.

### Not overextended — pass

MKTX has 1 consecutive up-close 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 MKTX'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

MKTX has outpaced the S&P 500 by 37.2 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if MKTX starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $162.43 is only 0.1% below MKTX's price — tighter than the 2% floor, so the risk check fails (too little room to work). It passes once the stop sits 2–8% below price.

### Adequate stop room — fail

The stop sits only 0.0× 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 0.73× MKTX's 20-day average — below the 1.0× threshold, so the pullback looks quiet and this check passes. It flips if volume pushes past 1.0× that average.
