Z3 activated bullish at 11:00 am, 5 bars after E1, stayed active for 21 bars with 14 favorable bars, and peaked at 4.81 at 3:10 pm.
The move built from a cellar entry with a bull volume anchor set at 10:15 am in the cellar, one knight near the anchor, a bear volume anchor overhead, DI+ taking control at 11:00 am, a Kijun flip at 11:50 am, no range extension beyond the IB high, active-to-charging volume clusters through the session, and the main confirmation window landing from 10:55 am to 11:25 am as Z3, volume, bands tightening, and STD expansion aligned.
Pain was $1.94 against entry at 10:45 am, and it took 60 minutes before the trade had 10F to show, then gave back $9.81 from peak to exit.
Verdict: not a clean launch, but the general held; structurally valid, a bit theta-expensive early, and only moderately efficient on the exit.
