HOOD CALL +$6.27 (+61F) in 5h 35m — Z3 activated after E1

HOOD CALL [HOLD] entered 10:25am at $78.54 and exited 4:00pm at $84.81 for +$6.27 (+61F), with E1 fired in the loft above VPOC and TPOC. Z3 activated bullish at 10:45am (4 bars after E1), sustained across 18 favorable bars/21 cape bars, and reached max MFE +$6.29 with 100% control ratio.

HOOD CALL HOLD entered at 10:25 am at $78.54 and exited at 4:00 pm at $84.81 for +$6.27, with max MFE +$6.29 at 3:55 pm and a 100% control ratio. Z3 activated bullish at 10:45 am, four bars after E1, stayed favorable for 18 bars across 21 cape bars, and peaked at 2.78 at 1:35 pm. The move had structure behind it: a bull volume anchor from 9:40 am in the cellar with no opposing anchor overhead, E1 in the loft above both VPOC and TPOC, charging volume into 10:05 am, range extension above IB high at 11:00 am at $79.14, then the 1:05 pm to 1:40 pm breakthrough zone lined up with Z3 peak, active volume, and bands expanding, while no bullish Kijun flip printed and DI+ did not take control until 3:25 pm. It was not clean early, with HOOD closing $1.05 against entry by 10:30 am and taking 35 minutes to show 10F, but retracement from peak to exit was minimal. Messy at the start, efficient at the finish, and worth the hold once the general held through the midday build.
