HOOD Bull HOOD Breakout After Compression

E1 call from 10:00 to 12:10 worked on a bull MIDAS anchor plus call-dominant flow and crown volatility expansion, but it was theta-expensive and never delivered a Kijun cross.

โ—† MASTER READ
If you bought E1, it made +$2.61, entering at 10:00am and exiting at 12:10pm for a 2h 10m hold. It offered more, with MFE reaching +$3.49 before giving back some of the move. MAE was only -$0.56, so it did not get deep in the hole, but it was a theta-expensive hold because the $1/hr pace meant time ate into the real value of the trade. The trade was backed by a bullish call-dominant flow, a bull MIDAS anchor in the cellar, negative gamma, and a breakout move that got a green/crown volatility expansion and bullish Z3 cape 3 bars after E1, while the main drag was the entry squeeze and the fact that price never got a Kijun cross up after entry.
