Was planning this move if we indeed rip next week

-255p/+250p/+260c/-270c exp 12/22

Net Credit .50 but can also ride upside.

Max gain $1000 max lost 447. Only downfall is we dump below 255. Sideway still win -up still win

Another variant to allow more upside and burn off the put leg

-255p/+250p exp 12/22 x 2 contracts
+260c/-270c exp 1/5 x 1 contracts

Net credit .80. If put leg burn off then free bet to upside and pocket .80
Personally, I wouldn't do that play. Too risky if the SP reverses back to something like 240. Hoping the SP does something so you make money is not a strategy.

Below would be a far safer play based on delta of <.20 on each side so 80% chance of win. No matter how safe the play is there still hope in this dog :)

OK, thanks to the dip, BTC 100x 12/15 -c240 @$9.9 -> yeah, likey could have got a much beter price, but given the dumbass situation I got myself into, I'm just happy to get out of them without too much damage

Now if the 100x -c250's expire then I will acutally scrape a couple $k profit for the week...

But failing that, will roll the -c250's to -c260 next week... well planning to sell -c260's next week anyway...

battle of the 250 going on now.... Be wary of SPY - if that Macro go green it can take Tesla with it.

Any thoughts about the close today? Will it rip at the end of day?
Sure if we are falling to 245 beforehand, call wall looks lowered today, so there might even be some rearrangement going on to 255 already. Then we could see 252.5-255 being allowed.
As I expected over here yesterday they indeed rearranged a bit higher for next week (as @Jim Holder 's today info shows indeed: shift from 250 to 260 . Completing that will maybe just be enough if the 261 fall-back happens to be on Friday, which I doubt.)
 
I'm thinking between 250 and 252.5 is today's close. Is it worth the while moving -c247.5 to 12/22 -c255 or just go straight out to 1/12 -c265 for the same weekly $1 ?

Weekly $1 is a lot to shoot for. I think you should be 100% defense mode right now. If we are at SP 300 on 1/12 your -C265 will be $35 ITM. You ok with that?

Agreed. Right now especially is a good time to be cautious with CCs. If we break out of that two-year downtrend things could get nutty fast. Then you have headlines like this that underscore the point…

Take it from someone who lost some shares at $250 pre-split to such a scenario.

 
Why Max? Why you gotta Call?
Not me, I've been flushing my cash down the pan this week 😆

OK, started to build for next week, STO 35x -c260 @$3.3 -> decided to put my Jan +c233's to work rather than sell them today, plus a handful against the Jan +c300's (due to the poor Delta in those, so 1:5 ration)

Rolled to next week for a small debit, decided that I'll be keeping these near and dear, added $10 to strike now at 257.5 which sits above the gamma line at 250 for 12/22
