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

### Long-term trend rising — fail

Z's 50-day average is $33.03, down from $33.33 10 sessions ago, so the trend check fails. It passes once the 50-day average is rising again.

### Pulled back to support — pass

Z has dipped to its 21-day average ($33.80) 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 — pass

Z closed at $35.92, 4.7% above its 9-day average ($34.30) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $34.30.

### Not overextended — pass

Z 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 — fail

A high-volume gap-down consistent with an earnings miss appeared in Z's last 30 sessions, so this check fails. It clears once that event ages out of the 30-session window.

### Outperforming the market — pass

Z has outpaced the S&P 500 by 1.8 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if Z starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $32.49 is 9.5% below Z'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 1.6× 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 1.08× Z'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×.
