The ES opened today and quickly dropped into and through the DTG 16.75 level.  Order flow on the move through the bottom of the level was showing strong buying, so I took a chance with a long entry.  Price then went into a grind waiting on the 10am EST housing numbers.  At this point, my position was a coin flip; the news/trade would either be in my favor or it would not.  Turns out the housing number was a significant miss which caused me to pull the plug on the trade. 

The DTG 12 level was touched after the news but did not provide a good order flow opportunity to take a trade.  Price rotated up where it could not go higher than 16.75 after 3 or 4 attempt.  The next rotation down back into the DTG 12 level is our example trade for today detailed on the annotated chart below.
