## Why each check reads this way

### Market trend rising — pass

The S&P 500 ($776.34) is above its 10-day average ($771.09), so the market-trend check passes for every stock today, WPC included. It flips market-wide if the index closes below $771.09.

### Long-term trend rising — fail

WPC's 50-day average is $72.91, down from $73.26 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — pass

WPC has dipped to its 21-day average ($72.45) within the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check passes — the entry sits near support rather than stretched above it. It flips once price goes more than 3 sessions without revisiting that average.

### Holding above short-term average — fail

WPC closed at $71.62, 0.1% below its 9-day average ($71.67), so this momentum check fails. It passes again on a close above $71.67.

### Not overextended — fail

WPC 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 WPC'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

WPC has trailed the S&P 500 by 10.0 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check fails. It passes once WPC leads the index again.

### Stop distance within range — pass

A stop under the recent swing low ($69.94) sits 2.3% below WPC'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 1.2× 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 0.36× WPC's 20-day average — below the 1.0× threshold, so the pullback looks quiet and this check passes. It flips if volume pushes past 1.0× that average.
