## Why each check reads this way

### Market trend rising — pass

The S&P 500 ($769.64) is above its 10-day average ($767.93), so the market-trend check passes for every stock today, SFL included. It flips market-wide if the index closes below $767.93.

### Long-term trend rising — pass

SFL's 50-day average has risen to $12.43, up from $12.04 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

SFL hasn't touched its 21-day average ($12.97) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $12.97.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

SFL closed at $13.45, 2.0% above its 9-day average ($13.18) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $13.18.

### Not overextended — fail

SFL 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 SFL'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

SFL has outpaced the S&P 500 by 8.7 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if SFL starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — pass

A stop under the recent swing low ($12.62) sits 6.2% below SFL'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 — pass

The stop sits 1.9× the average daily range (ATR) from price, clearing the 1-ATR minimum, so this check passes — the stop isn't buried inside normal noise. It flips if that room tightens inside 1× ATR.

### Quiet pullback volume — pass

Recent volume is 0.71× SFL'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.
