    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I rolled my 160CC for today to end of May. Could only get up to 170 with a small credit. I have a feeling those are going to need to be dealt with. My 155CCs ($5 Premium received) I let go, and I sold (right before the close) -170P for next week for $5. Will need to make up $5 at some point as...

    Wow. Right now it is looking like I made a great call. Would be a $50k loss right now and getting worse!

    Closed my 167.5 (loss) and 172.5CC (profit) for break even on the pair. Probably could have made a profit if we close Red today, but my blood pressure couldn't take it. Live to fight another day. Edit: I should have stayed out of playing the ER anyway.

    So do you think we close green today? Close CCs at any dip at the open?

    Never so happy to see FUD pre-market. Might actually save my CCs!!!

    On the weekly chart, 175 area was the highest close the last 7 weeks. That gives me hope. The monthly chart looks scarier. 200 could be in the cards....

    Thanks, but I was asking a more specific question. If the first two days are green (which will greatly reduce the number of occurrences), how often is the 3rd day also green. When I scroll through the chart, after a gap up like we had, I could not find 3 green candles in a row.... The problem...

    What makes you think we are only going up a few percent more in the next 3 weeks?

    I may do that with my 160CCs, since letting additional shares go would trigger capital gains taxes.

    If we don't have a Red candle tomorrow, I will let my 155CC shares go (Premium was almost $5) tomorrow, and I will look to sell 165 Puts for at least $5 on any drop Monday.

    Another above average volume trading day. Ohh. Inverse BTF is DEFINITELY a thing! Everyone on this forum could have retired with more money than Elon by just doing the opposite of my trades for the last 5 years.

    That would screw me the most. So almost certainly YES....

    My 155 and 160CCs I plan to roll to next week 165 by giving away the original premium. No real debit. I'm hoping the 167.5 and 172.5CC expire worthless tomorrow so I can sell further OTM CCs and still make some income for next week.

    Need a Red candle tomorrow. I was trying to find previous gap ups in the chart, like after earnings Jan 26th 2023. Not a lot of examples. 3rd day often Red.

    Ron Barron believe the TSLA bottom was in. I'm going to agree. Need to try to save my shares from my CCs. I'm just hoping we go down to at least 160 or 155 short term before the final 🚀

    Of course the SP had to dip when I went on a bike ride and I could have better managed my 167.5CC for tomorrow. Will continue to hold....

    If I didn't have shares tied up, I would definitely be selling 185CC for next week. I don't think premiums are bad for $20 OTM.

    I am up on my Covered Call sales. Down big on my NVDA Iron Condor from last month, and my TSLA BPSs from two years ago. In other words - CC sales good, Spreads VERY BAD!!!

    This is what I have trouble with. I'm kicking myself for closing the -160/+165P earlier for half the potential value. I always try to hold until Expiry. I need to be better about taking profits and not look at the remaining profits I COULD make if I just hold longer....

    I closed my -160/+165P for $2.56 I didn't want to loose that money if the SP closes above 165 on Friday, given that my CCs will also be under pressure if the SP goes up. The goal is to have positions that make money in both directions. Mine, going into ER, were all positioned to make money on...

    We were spoiled when it came to selling CCs the last few weeks. It isn't so easy when the SP can actually go UP on you.... :oops:

    Regarding my 172.5CC.... I'm asking myself. Would I open a 172.5CC for 0.5 with 2DTE after a 12% run up? I think I would. So why would I close it now out of fear...?

    I don't think the large shorts are going to let it run away until they get out of the way (and trick retail into taking the hit). I'm hoping they can't do it before the end of the week....

    I will leave that to the MBA types here, but the point is they didn't lose $2B. They had it in sitting in lots at the end of the quarters with healthy profit margins on those vehicles.

    I may have a few 155 and 160CCs to manage on Friday. The bulk are at 167.5 and 172.5.
