โ—† MASTER READ
If you bought E1, you made +$4.78, entering at 10:10am and exiting at 12:25pm, for a 2h 15m hold. It offered more, with a +$6.69 MFE before giving some back into the close. MAE was -$2.09, so there was some early heat, but the move worked without a long stall and then had to be held through a pullback from the high. This was not a fast scalp; it paid, but only after absorbing that drawdown and giving back part of the best run. What backed it was call flow already dominant at entry, negative gamma that let the move extend, and Z3 turning bullish 5 bars in with 8 cape bars total. What threatened it most was the VICE band squeeze at entry, with no Kijun cross up to confirm the push and a yellow bishop only showing up 4 bars after E1 before expansion got going.
