Rationale
The Dow (cash, Cboe series) is trading at 51,866, above Friday's high of 51,765 and 0.68 ATR over its 20-day average of 51,537, while tech lags (Nasdaq-100 -0.56%): rotation toward industrials is today's story. Long from 51,866, stop 51,599, target 52,400 (2.0R, 1.11 ATR), still below the 20-day high of 52,751. The idea is wrong if price trades back below today's low of 51,719; it must be closed at the 13/10 cash close at the latest, before the CPI print of 14/10 at 12:30 UTC. One night is held: estimated long carry about 5% of R, the multiple-charge day depends on your own provider; the target needs a strong session and may well not be reached in time.
Invalidation
A trade below 51,719 (today's cash session low, back inside Friday's range under the 51,765 high) means the breakout failed; stop at 51,599 = that level minus 0.25 x ATR14. Mandatory close at the 13/10 cash close, before the US CPI release of 14/10 at 12:30 UTC.
