## 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, RSG included. It clears market-wide when the index reclaims $768.72.

### Long-term trend rising — pass

RSG's 50-day average has risen to $215.53, up from $213.17 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

RSG hasn't touched its 21-day average ($217.45) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $217.45.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

RSG closed at $222.18, 1.1% above its 9-day average ($219.69) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $219.69.

### Not overextended — pass

RSG 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 RSG'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

RSG has trailed the S&P 500 by 3.5 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check fails. It passes once RSG leads the index again.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $218.61 is only 1.6% below RSG'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 0.9× 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 — fail

Recent volume is 1.02× RSG's 20-day average — above the 1.0× threshold, so this check fails (the move is drawing heavy volume). It passes once volume cools below 1.0×.
