NVDA CALL EXEC entered at 10:00 am at $222.18 and exited at 11:35 am at $224.88 for +$2.70, with the general holding 95 minutes and a 77% control ratio versus the $3.49 max MFE at 11:20 am. Z3 activated at 10:35 am, seven bars after E1, printed two favorable cape bars in total, and peaked at 1.74 at 11:15 am. Structure was supportive from the start with a bull volume anchor set at 9:35 am in the cellar, no opposing anchor overhead, E1 in the core, range extension above IB high at 10:15 am at $224.30, STD expansion from 10:15 am to 10:25 am, and volume clusters at 10:20 am, 10:40 am, and 11:10 am to 11:15 am, while DMI never produced a post-entry DI+ cross and no Kijun flip up followed. Pain was low: the entry was clean, price moved in favor immediately, and it reached 10F without any meaningful adverse close, though $0.79 came off the peak before exit. Clean location, lighter confirmation than the final payout suggests, but still worth the hold because the general held and most of the move was kept.
