AAPL put EXEC entered at 11:25 am at $311.39 and exited at 3:55 pm at $308.33 for +$3.06, holding 4 hours 30 minutes and capturing a 92% control ratio versus the +$3.33 max MFE printed at 3:50 pm. Z3 activated bearish at 11:35 am, 2 bars after E1, stayed favorable for 21 bars, and reached a peak reading of -3.21 at 11:50 am. The put started in the Loft above both VPOC and TPOC, the bear volume anchor was set at 11:05 am above IB high with no bull anchor below, DI- took control at 11:35 am, the Kijun flip came at 11:45 am, range extension below IB low hit at 11:50 am at $310.18, and volume plus band expansion stayed with the general through the session. Pain was low: the entry was clean, there was no meaningful adverse close before the trade reached 10F, and only $0.27 was given back from peak to exit. Clean campaign, efficient hold, and worth the time because the general held from activation to the close with little giveback.
