By Z3Gamma

META CALL HOLD entered at 10:15am at $602.56 and exited at 12:05pm at $604.88 for +$2.32, with a 110-minute hold and a 50% control ratio versus the $4.66 max MFE at 11:20am. Z3 activated at 10:55am, 8 bars after E1, with 3 favorable bars and 5 total cape bars during the general. The move built off a bull volume anchor from 10:05am in the cellar with no opposing anchor overhead, then got its Kijun flip at 10:25am, range extension above the IB high at 10:45am at $602.91, VPOC and TPOC reclaim at 10:50am at $604.68, green band expansion from 10:55am to 11:35am, and charging volume prints at 11:15am and 11:35am while DMI never gave a post-entry DI+ cross. Pain was real early: META closed $2.16 against entry by 10:20am, took 110 minutes to print 10F, and then gave back $2.35 from the $607.22 peak into the exit. Messy but valid: the general held, the structure improved after entry, and the hold was worth it, but this was not an efficient campaign.
