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

### Long-term trend rising — pass

ZS's 50-day average has risen to $144.47, up from $142.50 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

ZS hasn't touched its 21-day average ($161.27) in the last 3 sessions, so the pullback check fails. It passes on a dip back toward $161.27.

### Holding above short-term average — pass

ZS closed at $188.18, 9.5% above its 9-day average ($171.88) — short-term momentum is holding, so this check passes. It flips on a close below $171.88.

### Not overextended — fail

ZS 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 ZS'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

ZS has outpaced the S&P 500 by 24.9 percentage points over the last 20 sessions, so the relative-strength check passes. It flips if ZS starts lagging the index over that window.

### Stop distance within range — fail

A stop at $164.99 is 12.3% below ZS'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 2.9× 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 — fail

Recent volume is 1.05× ZS'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×.
