I learned this morning that my risk muscles are still not where they need to be. Before opening I had laid out 3 things I would consider doing (roll for credit to next week at same strike, roll for min. credit as far out to get below -900/+700, do nothing). On the opening drop, I found myself immediately hustling to roll to next week for a reasonable credit, ignoring my two options I had laid out. It was a strange feeling...
I think I should have left everything alone. Hindsight and all that....
Only positive trade for me this morning was more TSLA at 980, and laddered GTC buy orders down to 960 in order to fill up an odd-lot TSLA count to the next 100. I decided over the xmas break that for 2022 I'd use most of the premium I'm making in 2022 with options trading to buy more TLSA. I find that the amount of margin I have available to me is sufficient to make my weekly targets and I don't need to be cash-heavy to do so. So I'm buying TSLA with premium earning (premium minus tax....) for the year. My average price is at $127 as of today. Will be interesting where I end up in 12/2022.
