By Z3Gamma

SPY put EXEC entered at 10:55 am at $751.36 and exited at 12:15 pm at $749.32 for +$2.04; the general held for 80 minutes and posted a 73% control ratio versus the $2.80 max MFE at 11:50 am. Z3 activated bearish at 10:55 am, one bar after E1, stayed favorable for 9 bars, and peaked at -5.75 at 11:50 am. The move had structure: E1 printed in the Loft above both VPOC and TPOC, a bear volume anchor was set at 10:40 am above IB high with no opposing bull anchor below, active volume hit from 10:35 am to 10:45 am, DMI compressed into entry and DI- never gave up control after, the Kijun flip confirmed at 11:15 am, STD expansion ran from 11:10 am to 11:20 am, and range extension below IB low printed at 11:40 am at $749.35. Pain was low: entry was clean, there was no meaningful adverse close before the trade had 10F to show, and the exit gave back $0.76 from the peak. Clean campaign, efficient hold, and worth sitting through because the structure kept confirming after Z3 activated.
