## Why each check reads this way

### Market trend rising — fail

The S&P 500 ($766.08) is below its 10-day average ($768.72), so the market-trend check fails for every stock today, PSA included. It clears market-wide when the index reclaims $768.72.

### Long-term trend rising — pass

PSA's 50-day average has risen to $322.18, up from $319.85 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 — pass

PSA has dipped to its 21-day average ($323.27) 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

PSA closed at $317.37, 1.6% below its 9-day average ($322.68), so this momentum check fails. It passes again on a close above $322.68.

### Not overextended — pass

PSA 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 PSA'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

PSA has trailed the S&P 500 by 8.7 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check fails. It passes once PSA leads the index again.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $317.13 is only 0.1% below PSA'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 0.91× PSA'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.
