META dejó +$2.35 con PUT entry a las 12:25pm en $620.86 y exit a las 3:55pm en $618.51; fue un hold largo para capturar solo 45% del MFE, así que pagó pero no se exprimió bien.
El Z3 bearish pegó rápido a las 12:30pm, apenas una barra después del entry, y se mantuvo firme con 9 barras favorables; el pico vino a las 2:25pm con -3.99, que fue cuando de verdad se sintió el momentum.
La confirmación vino bien alineada: había bear volume anchor a las 12:15pm arriba del IB high sin soporte bull debajo, las bands venían apretadas, entró volumen desde 12:30pm, el Kijun flip bajista cayó a las 12:30pm, DI- ganó a la 1:35pm, y la range extension por debajo del IB low llegó a las 2:25pm en $615.97.
El entry fue clean, casi sin MAE antes de entregar 10F, pero después devolvió $2.82 desde el peak de $615.69 de las 2:30pm hasta el exit.
Trade bueno y bien estructurado, pero el hold fue medio caro porque tenía la ganancia en la mano y dejó mucho sobre la mesa.
