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

### Long-term trend rising — fail

NVT's 50-day average is $161.33, down from $161.80 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — fail

NVT hasn't touched its 21-day average ($160.47) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $160.47.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

NVT closed at $170.01, 3.5% above its 9-day average ($164.27) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $164.27.

### Not overextended — fail

NVT has 2 consecutive up-closes into today — at the limit of 2, so this check fails (the entry looks extended). It passes after a flat or down close resets the streak.

### No recent earnings miss — pass

No high-volume gap-down consistent with an earnings miss has appeared in NVT'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

NVT has outpaced the S&P 500 by 7.2 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if NVT starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — pass

A stop under the recent swing low ($161.19) sits 5.2% below NVT'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 0.55× NVT'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.
