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

### Long-term trend rising — pass

RPM's 50-day average has risen to $108.12, up from $105.61 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

RPM hasn't touched its 21-day average ($111.58) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $111.58.

### Holding above short-term average — fail

RPM closed at $113.33, 0.7% below its 9-day average ($114.15), so this momentum check fails. It passes again on a close above $114.15.

### Not overextended — pass

RPM 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 RPM'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

RPM has outpaced the S&P 500 by 3.0 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if RPM starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $112.72 is only 0.5% below RPM'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 0.2× 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 — fail

Recent volume is 0.96× RPM'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×.
