By Z3Gamma

QCOM paid +$10.90 from the 9:55am CALL entry at $235.65 to the 1:30pm exit at $246.55, a 3 hour 35 minute hold that captured 83% control ratio versus the $13.13 max MFE at 1:05pm. Z3 activated bullish at 10:25am, 6 bars after E1, then held for 18 cape bars with 13 favorable bars and a peak Z3 of 3.57 at 11:30am. The move got confirmation in the 10:25am to 10:30am window when price pushed through range extension above the IB high at $241.07, crossed VPOC at the same price, volatility expanded, and the cellar volume anchor from 9:30am had no opposing line overhead; volume turned charging from 10:00am to 10:20am and again from 12:25pm to 12:40pm, while DI+ did not take control until 12:00pm and no Kijun flip printed after entry. Pain was $1.11 against the position into 10:05am, and it took 15 minutes before the trade had 10F to show, with $2.23 given back from the peak into the final exit.

Verdict: early heat, then a real general that held, but not a clean launch since confirmation came after entry rather than at entry.
