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

### Long-term trend rising — fail

PPLI's 50-day average is $43.52, down from $43.69 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — pass

PPLI has dipped to its 21-day average ($42.47) 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

PPLI closed at $40.40, 2.6% below its 9-day average ($41.49), so this momentum check fails. It passes again on a close above $41.49.

### Not overextended — pass

PPLI 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 PPLI's last 30 sessions, so this check passes. It would flip if such a gap-down showed up inside that window.

### Outperforming the market — fail

PPLI has trailed the S&P 500 by 15.7 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check fails. It passes once PPLI leads the index again.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $39.74 is only 1.6% below PPLI'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 0.4× 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 0.74× PPLI'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.
