You would be richer than Elon if you just do the opposite of all my trades. I nail the high and lows (incorrectly) with amazing accuracy.
Edit: I was too distracted to buy back at the high of the day @179.25.....

Sold 195 CC for next week for 1.60.
Not at the highs, but close enough.
I think 200 will be hard to pass, even with good CPI, so 195 is rollable in that case.

Yeah these are -p185's and -p200's assignments that I've taken loads of premium against, so quite OK if they exercise - I would have let them go today, but I really don't see the SP getting up there, too many call-walls, I think they'll keep it just under 180 today
That being said, I did close out this week's for 25c, just to avoid surprises... but I'm leaving my -c195's and -c200's in place
Also have 25x -c190 in play for next week, of course straddling the 18x -p180's, I win big-time if those calls go ITM...
Edit: Added 5x more -c185 @$4.5

How strong will the maxpain gravity of $177.50 be today?
I'm hovering over some $200 CCs

today's 1st hour MMD is AWOL?177.12 holding supp last 5 weeks (100% fib)
TSLA Weekly:
View attachment 882057
double-bottom detected today ~175.5
TSLA 5-min:
View attachment 882060
perhaps ~177 is today's supp? too many coincidences- today's .618 fib = 177.06
- yesterday's 1.272 fib = 176.86
- pre-market High = 176.97
- weekly 100% fib = 177.12
- maxpain = 177.50
Dude...On the plus side, once my Puts expire next week, I'm going to be able to sell CSPs like a boss....
I'm a perfect example of why margin use is bad. It puts your back against the wall.
I didn't want to sell shares in the low 170s. The market forced me to chose between hoping and praying, or protecting myself from losing everything if the market tanks farther.
I gave up some future profits to protect what I have left.

Wondering if Elon and the entire stock market was waiting for this post. I say bring it, take my calls! I don't think you have the guts.
I sold $210's for next week for $0.52 and single $200 $1.28 that as risky as I will go.

Closed Dec 9 - c 187.5, - c 190, -c 192.5 early when TSLA was still 175.
STO Dec 16 - c 197.5, - c 202.5. Selling 2/3 of my usual volume for next week.
Glad to see the pop today. I think this will ease the upside if CPI should be lower than expected next Tuesday.
Plan for next week: if CPI tanks the stock, will sell the last 1/3 of my sold calls. If stock price pops after CPI, roll as needed. I am excepting that if I need to roll again, I won't have enough margin to continue to sell as many weeklies until the March and April sold calls come off the books.
Still have following positions from previous trades: Dec 16 - p 167.5. Jan 20 - p 156.67, Mar 17 - c 260, Apr 23 - c275, Jan 2025 - c 480

Note to self, don't sell CC for the following week the day before PPI, CPI, FOMC. Not only did I break my 3-4DTE rule, the $180s sold yesterday were way too close to the money. Glad we are green, there's worse to manage if we went red... let's see what develops.

I bought back my 185 CC's expiring today. I'll wait to sell new calls until Monday. I have 190 and 205 calls for next week and 180's expiring today. I'll wait to roll the 180's, if needed, until the final hour.I sold $210's for next week for $0.52 and single $200 $1.28
Hmm, good thing I saw this. I thought I sold a 200c for $1.03 earlier this morning, but I actually bought it. Closed it out for $1.22, and turned around and sold it for the same price. Double-checked this time to make sure I sold itI sold $210's for next week for $0.52 and single $200 $1.28

So it worked this time.
I think this is one of the issues with rolling if SP touches the strike price. I rolled my P175 .... now I'll roll182.5/187.5 for small credit. If I had just waited at least one of them would have expired worthless
