QQQ CALL E1 went EXEC at 10:35 am at $697.59 and closed at 1:45 pm at $704.99 for +$7.40 over 190 minutes, capturing 86% of the available move versus max MFE of +$8.61 at 1:20 pm. Z3 activated bullish at 11:00 am, 5 bars after E1, printed 13 favorable bars across 14 total cape bars, and peaked at 2.46 at 12:40 pm. The general started from a cellar entry with a bull volume anchor set at 10:30 am below IB low, no opposing anchor overhead, price already above VPOC at entry, DI+ took control at 11:15 am, the breakthrough window formed from 11:20 am to 11:55 am on active volume and tightening bands, the Kijun flip came at 11:45 am, TPOC was reclaimed at 12:40 pm at $703.03, and range extension above IB high printed at 1:00 pm at $704.73. Pain was $1.28 against entry at 10:45 am, and it took the full 190-minute hold before the trade had 10F to show, with $1.21 given back from the $706.20 peak into the exit. Messy early, efficient late, and worth the hold because the general held once Z3 activated and structure kept confirming.
