Trading is about change: first sign of change would be trading below 2501.25 (cessation of daily one-time-framing higher)
There are a lot of poor structures and gaps below that need to be repaired...
Balance trading rules are in play and so far it appears to be a 'look above and fail'.
The destination would likely be the 2498.25 - 2497.75 area (the other end of the balance).
Taking above into consideration, I took a short at 2506.00 (yesterday's day high) with an initial target at 2497.75 (day low 9/18)

As per Dalton: "Take the trade and monitor for continuation"
So as price moved against my short position, I held on to my original trade plan because I knew that:
(1) I had good trade location
(2) there was no excess after the 4th 30-min period close (poor low)
(3) the day low at 2502.50 (created during the 3rd- and 4th 30-min period) was 1 tick above the O/N low (weak low)
And in Dalton's world, a weak and poor low are a No-No.
With an exit at 2497.75 I can now breathe again...

Nice trade Aladdin. My price to short was 2503 but couldn't pull the trigger. Played some cheap ES weekly puts instead. Where can I find the Dalton literature you quoted?
Definitely. It seems a few of us were waiting for that pop lower or is it drop lower-lOL. I was set short at 2500.75 as I had 2501 as yesterday's low. 5 point target/5 point stop. Came and the register was rung.
Good analysis Aladdin!
