SPY CALL +$4.86 (+486F) — Z3 activated in cellar before the move

EXECed at 9:50am at $749.82, exited 3:55pm at $754.68 for +$4.86 after E1 fired in the cellar with bull MIDAS anchor at 9:45am. Z3 activated at 11:00am (14 bars after E1), with Kijun crossed at 1:35pm and 92% control ratio into max MFE +$5.31 at 3:35pm ($755.13).

SPY CALL E1 went EXEC at 9:50 am at $749.82 and exited at 3:55 pm at $754.68 for +$4.86; the general held all session and finished with a 92% control ratio versus max MFE of +$5.31 at 3:35 pm. Z3 activated at 11:00 am, 14 bars after E1, printed 12 total cape bars with 9 favorable bars, and peaked at 3.17 at 12:15 pm. Structure lined up early with a bull volume anchor at 9:45 am in the cellar, no opposing anchor overhead, and E1 also in the cellar; range extension cleared the IB high at 10:10 am at $752.99, VPOC and TPOC were crossed at 11:00 am at $753.73, DI+ took control at 1:20 pm, the Kijun flip came at 1:35 pm, and the 1:20 pm to 1:45 pm window stacked directional control with volume while bands tightened. Pain was low: entry was clean, price moved in the right direction without meaningful adverse excursion before it printed the first 10F, and only $0.45 was given back from the peak into the exit.

Verdict: clean hold, efficient exit, and worth the time because the general never broke even through the slower midday windows.
