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

### Long-term trend rising — fail

TALO's 50-day average is $14.33, down from $14.46 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — fail

TALO hasn't touched its 21-day average ($14.66) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $14.66.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

TALO closed at $15.45, 3.4% above its 9-day average ($14.94) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $14.94.

### Not overextended — pass

TALO 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 TALO'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

TALO has outpaced the S&P 500 by 6.9 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if TALO starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $13.89 is 10.1% below TALO'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 2.2× 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 — pass

Recent volume is 0.47× TALO'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.
