MSFT CALL HOLD entered at 10:15 am at $414.38 and exited at 3:55 pm at $421.08 for +$6.70, with a 5 hour 40 minute hold and a 95% control ratio versus the $7.02 max MFE at 3:50 pm. Z3 activated bullish at 10:55 am, 8 bars after E1, stayed active for 15 cape bars with 12 favorable bars, and peaked at 2.54 at 1:40 pm. The general held as the volume anchor printed at 10:05 am in the cellar with no opposing anchor overhead, the Kijun flip came at 10:25 am, range extension cleared the IB high at 10:45 am at $414.59, DI+ took control at 10:45 am, price later crossed TPOC at 1:35 pm and VPOC at 1:40 pm, and volume expanded in clusters into the afternoon after bands tightened into the open. Pain was real early: MSFT closed $2.28 against entry by 10:20 am and took 35 minutes to put 10F on the board, then only gave back $0.32 from the 3:50 pm peak into the exit. This was not a clean entry, but it was an efficient hold once the general stabilized and worth the early heat.
