## Why each check reads this way

### Market trend rising — fail

The S&P 500 ($759.97) is below its 10-day average ($769.33), so the market-trend check fails for every stock today, SSL included. It clears market-wide when the index reclaims $769.33.

### Long-term trend rising — pass

SSL's 50-day average has risen to $13.91, up from $12.93 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

SSL hasn't touched its 21-day average ($15.49) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $15.49.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

SSL closed at $18.03, 9.7% above its 9-day average ($16.43) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $16.43.

### Not overextended — pass

SSL has 1 consecutive up-close 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 SSL'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

SSL has outpaced the S&P 500 by 30.0 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if SSL starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $15.40 is 14.6% below SSL's price — wider than the 8% ceiling, so the risk check fails (too much risk per share). It passes once that distance is back inside 2–8%.

### Adequate stop room — pass

The stop sits 4.2× 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 — fail

Recent volume is 1.28× SSL'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×.
