RESULTTotal profit +$3.47. Max MFE +$3.68 at 3:50 pm ($717.21). Captured 94% of the move.
QQQ put E1 printed at 1:45 pm at $720.89 and closed at 4:00 pm at $717.42 for +$3.47 over 135 minutes, with max MFE at $717.21 at 3:50 pm and a 94% control ratio. Z3 activated bearish at 3:05 pm, 16 bars after entry, and peaked the same minute at -2.25 with 6 favorable cape bars into the close. The move was built above the IB high with E1 also above VPOC and TPOC, a bear volume anchor set at 1:25 pm four bars before entry with no dynamic resistance overhead, a Kijun flip lower at 1:50 pm, active to charging knight clusters from 1:50 pm through 3:55 pm, bands tightened at 1:20 pm before STD expansion hit from 3:05 pm to 3:25 pm, and there was no range extension below the IB low. Pain was low: the entry was clean, price moved in favor without a meaningful close-based push against the general before the first 10F, and only $0.21 was given back from peak to exit. Clean general, efficient hold, and worth the time even with Z3 activating late relative to entry.
