✅ Managed exit manually as bullish pulse bars & a V-shaped reversal formed
✅ Initial credit received: $3.00
✅ Bought back for $1.40, locking in a 53.3% return
✅ Exited as a part of the Friday turnaround, positioning for the bullish swing

✅ Collected $3.05 in credit on entry
✅ Bought back for $0.30, locking in a 90.2% return
