META CALL E1 hit at 10:35 am at $597.50 and closed at 2:25 pm at $607.98 for +$10.48 over 230 minutes, with a max MFE of +$11.69 at 1:50 pm and a 90% control ratio. Z3 activated at 10:55 am, 4 bars after E1, stayed favorable for 12 bars across 14 total cape bars, and peaked at 2.63 at 1:25 pm. The move got confirmation fast: DI+ won at 10:55 am with the Kijun flip on the same bar, range extension cleared the IB high at 11:00 am at $600.77, price was already working up from a 9:55 am volume anchor set in the cellar with no opposing anchor overhead, and volume stayed involved into the 1:15 pm VPOC cross at $606.39 while bands tightened from 10:40 am to 11:10 am before expanding again from 1:15 pm to 2:10 pm. Pain was light at $0.62 against the entry, worst at 10:45 am, and the general had 10F on the board 20 minutes after entry. Clean hold, low heat, and efficient exit with only $1.21 given back from peak, so this general was worth the time.
