Dow breaks Friday's high as tech lags: one long before CPI

Quiet but split session: the Dow is up 0.45% at 51,866, the S&P 500 flat at 7,814, the Nasdaq-100 down 0.56% at 30,710. VIX 15.1. We screened 15 instruments with MA20 and ATR14 computed on completed cash daily bars (Nasdaq and Cboe data; our usual source was rate-limited today). One idea published: US 30 long, 0.68 ATR above its MA20 and above Friday's 51,765 high, stop 51,599, target 52,400 (2.0R). It must close by the 13/10 cash close, because September CPI lands on 14/10 at 12:30 UTC and no position should be carried through it. Discarded: S&P 500 (1.73 ATR from MA20, late), Nasdaq-100 (same risk factor, lower highs since 06/10), MSFT, V, WMT and XOM (2.1 to 3.3 ATR, late), NVDA, LLY, HD and CAT (under 0.5 ATR, noise), JPM (earnings tomorrow), TSLA (stop would need 1.28 ATR), KO (target out of reach before CPI). AAPL passed the intraday checks but its target sat above the session high: one idea per review, the Dow had the cleaner structure.
