TSLA CALL +$5.57 (+141F) in 220m — Cellar E1 with late cape

TSLA CALL entered 11:10am at $397.56, exited 2:50pm at $403.13 for +$5.57 after an E1 fired in the Cellar with bull MIDAS anchor at 10:45am. Z3 activated bullish at 11:35am (5 bars after E1), DI+ took control at 11:25am, Kijun crossed above at 12:00pm, and the general held through the 12:25pm–1:00pm convergence with a 70% control ratio (max MFE +$7.94 at 2:40pm).

TSLA CALL [EXEC] entered at 11:10 am at $397.56 and exited at 2:50 pm at $403.13 for +$5.57 over 220 minutes, with a 70% control ratio against a max MFE of +$7.94 at 2:40 pm. Z3 activated bullish at 11:35 am, 5 bars after E1, stayed favorable for 11 bars, printed 13 total cape bars, and peaked at 4.57 at 1:00 pm. The general started in the Cellar already above VPOC and TPOC, with a bull volume anchor from 10:45 am below IB low and no opposing anchor overhead; DI+ took control at 11:25 am, the Kijun flip came at 12:00 pm, the key convergence window ran from 12:25 pm to 1:00 pm with volume and bands tightening into expansion, and range extension cleared IB high at 1:55 pm at $403.98. Pain was real early: TSLA closed $1.18 against entry at 11:20 am and needed the full 220 minutes before it had 10F to show, then gave back $2.38 from peak into the exit. Messy early, efficient late, and worth the hold if you could sit through the dip and wait for the general to hold.
