Rationale
The Dow cash index trades at 51607, 1.41 ATR below its 20-day average (52376), and has printed a third lower high today at 51741 after 51875 on 25/09 and 52319 on 22/09; the 16:15 UTC bounce to that high faded within fifteen minutes. The idea is a limit short at 51630 with the stop at 51873 and the target at 51265, just beyond today's 51410 low, to be closed by 19:45 UTC in any case, so there is no overnight holding cost. A trade above 51741 means the rejection failed and the idea is wrong. Execution cost is not published and is higher in the evening: every index point of round-trip cost is about 0.4% of R, so check it on your own account.
Invalidation
A trade above 51740.65, today's session high and third lower high in the sequence 52319 (22/09) - 51875 (25/09) - 51741 (28/09). Above it the intraday rejection has failed and the 25/09 high 51875 comes back into play. Stop 51873 = 51740.65 + 0.25 x ATR14 noise margin (ATR14 = 528.17, cash session, 0.46 ATR from entry). Single series: ^DJI cash daily and intraday bars from Yahoo for price, MA20 (52375.94, live bar excluded), ATR14 and all levels. Mandatory close 19:45 UTC today regardless of outcome.
