TSLA CALL +$7.24 (+141F) in 5.5hrs — E1 in the core

TSLA CALL EXEC entered E1 at 10:30am ($409.63) and exited 4:00pm ($416.87) for +$7.24 while the general held 330 minutes (+96% control ratio; max MFE +$7.56 at 3:55pm). Z3 activated at 10:50am (4 bars after E1) with the Kijun flip at 10:40am, DI+ taking control at 10:45am, then range extension clearing IB high at $411.88 at 10:50am.

TSLA CALL EXEC entered at 10:30 am at $409.63 and exited at 4:00 pm at $416.87 for +$7.24, with the general holding 330 minutes and a 96% control ratio versus the +$7.56 max MFE at 3:55 pm. Z3 activated at 10:50 am, four bars after E1, stayed favorable for 11 bars, printed 20 total cape bars, and peaked at 5.77 into the close at 4:00 pm. The move got confirmation fast: the Kijun flip came at 10:40 am, DI+ took control at 10:45 am, range extension cleared the IB high at 10:50 am at $411.88, and price later crossed both VPOC and TPOC at 11:20 am at $412.48; structure helped too, with a bull volume anchor set at 10:20 am in the cellar, no opposing anchor overhead, and charging volume clusters building into 1:25–1:30 pm, 2:50–3:00 pm, and 3:30–3:55 pm while bands only widened late. Pain stayed contained at $0.49 against entry, worst at 10:35 am, and the exit gave back just $0.31 from the peak. This was a clean hold after an early shake, efficient into the close, and worth the time even with the slow path to full expansion.
