By Z3Gamma

SPY calls entered at $713.29 at 11:40 AM and closed at $715.00 at 4:00 PM for a $1.71 win, with the trade lasting 4 hours 20 minutes and only modest efficiency at about $0.39 per hour. Z3 didn’t confirm right away, but the bullish signal fired at 12:05 PM, five bars after entry, and stayed active enough to show real upside participation even if momentum got noisy along the way. Options flow started bearish at entry, then flipped bullish at 12:10 PM and stayed that way into the close, while the $710 call wall sat below price and didn’t cap the move. Volatility had already expanded before entry, DI+ took control by 12:00 PM, the Kijun turned up at 11:55 PM, and a bullish volume anchor from 11:20 AM gave support as SPY climbed from the lower end of the day’s range to above the opening range high.

Verdict: profitable and structurally right, but this was more of a patient grind than a clean rip, so it worked but it was still a little theta-expensive for the hold.
