QCOM CALL [EXEC] entered at 9:45 am at $226.28 and exited at 11:25 am at $240.27 for +$13.99 over 100 minutes, with max MFE at $242.37 at 11:00 am and an 87% control ratio. Z3 activated at 10:30 am, 9 bars after E1, and peaked at 1.77 on that same bar with 2 favorable cape bars total before the general rolled off the high. The move had a 9:30 am volume anchor set above IB high with no opposing anchor overhead, bands tightened into the open, trade-window volume came in at 10:05–10:10, 10:50–11:00, and 11:20–11:25, but there was no Kijun flip and no range extension during the hold. Pain was low: the entry was clean, price moved in the right direction without meaningful adverse excursion before the first 10F, and only $2.10 was given back from peak to exit. Clean campaign, efficient hold, and worth sitting through even without extra follow-through signals.
