On days where there's something to be learned from the TSLA trading chart, I'll be posting it here with my comments, looking for your opinions too.

Market gets worried about bad Q1 financial number in ER. IMO, SP either goes nowhere or slightly goes down before we pass over the bad news in ER. So you can forget about TSLA in next two weeks
My broker (ETrade) won't let me place a market order for out-of-hours trading. The option simply doesn't exist.Can't edit the post above so I'm posting an updated version of chart to show something interesting.

Here's why you always want to use LIMIT when you buy or sell after hours. At 4:54pm someone sold 400 shares but didn't set a limit. Oops! Some lucky buyer picked up shares for $236.37.

Does the opposite of this rule hold true as well? I often wondered if every day, at 4pm EST, I should place a buy order for 10% less than the close. 99.9% of the time it wouldn't work, but eventually I get lucky? Or get steamrolled because of some after hours black swan. But that is what we should all be doing, right?
@Papafox, thanks for all the effort posting these charts and your thoughts on them. I bought some Jan. 18 300s yesterday (first-ever options trade for this long-term investor) and the 'mid-day dip' you have highlighted gave me the patience to wait and buy at the daily low. Very helpful.
Glad to be of help. I bought some Jan18 calls as well yesterday. There are many potential positive catalysts between now and then, with substantial production of Model 3 being the largest. I'm in the camp that says we'll actually see Model 3 produced in volume during 2017.
