AVGO CALL entered via E1 at 11:15am $424.87, out at 1:00pm $428.53 for +$3.66 (+115F); Z3 confirmed while the cellar held and the general remained in the ride window.

AVGO CALL EXEC entered at 11:15 am at $424.87 and exited at 1:00 pm at $428.53 for +$3.66; the general held 105 minutes, with max MFE of +$5.57 at 12:40 pm and a 66% control ratio. Z3 activated at 11:25 am, two bars after E1, and stayed active for 8 bars total with 6 favorable bars; peak Z3 printed 6.58 at 12:40 pm. The move had structure: E1 started in the cellar, a bull volume anchor from 11:00 am sat below IB low with no opposing anchor overhead, DI+ took control at 11:30 am, VPOC and TPOC were reclaimed at 11:30 am at $426.53, the Kijun flip came at 11:40 am, range extension cleared above IB high at 12:30 pm at $429.45, and the tape had present-volume prints at 10:50 am, 11:15–11:20 am, 11:35 am, 12:10 pm, and 12:55 pm with STD expansion from 12:30 pm to 12:40 pm. Pain was low: the entry was clean, there was no meaningful close-based adverse excursion before the trade reached 10F, and the only real giveback was $1.91 from the 12:40 pm peak into the 1:00 pm exit. Clean campaign, moderate giveback, and worth the hold if your plan allows a 34% leak from peak to exit.
