QQQ CALL EXEC entered at 10:35 am at $697.59 and exited at 1:45 pm at $704.99 for +$7.40 over 190 minutes, with an 86% control ratio versus the session’s +$8.61 max MFE at 1:20 pm. Z3 activated at 11:00 am, 5 bars after E1, stayed favorable for 13 of 14 cape bars, and peaked at 2.46 at 12:40 pm. The general started from a bull volume anchor set at 10:30 am below IB low with no opposing anchor overhead, E1 printed in the cellar, DI+ took control at 11:15 am, the Kijun flip came at 11:45 am, price crossed VPOC and TPOC together at 12:30 pm at $702.09, and range extension above IB high printed at 1:00 pm at $704.73 with active volume clusters building through the middle of the session. Pain was real early: price closed $1.28 against entry at 10:45 am, then took the full 190-minute hold before the trade had 10F to show, and it still gave back $1.21 from the $706.20 peak into the final exit. This was not a clean entry, but the general held, the confirmations stacked in order, and the exit kept most of the available move despite the slow start.
