I guess the question is why did you let the 1 in 25 clean you out entirely?

For context this is the best week for this Q1, but thousands lower than same week in 2023 (13k vs 17k)-- TOTAL Q1 China 24 is only up 2k YTD so far-- reinforcing the idea "growth" in 2024 might be single digit percent for the year.
Perhaps if it bigly went the wrong way overnight? Say if I only ever buy or sell options, no spreads, no hedging...? ...(so did I just tell everybody I'm doing it wrong?)... Is that why my trading account balances are indeed but a rounding error of my balances during the TSLA ATH's of $1,200 and $400?

Why? They are keeping TOS in the transition to Schwab. Try calling them?
I bought a protective Put spread for next week. 50X -165/+170.
If we get below 170 I let the shares go and roll down the -165 each week. Cost $1.69. I should have done it yesterday.
Edit: I finally pulled the trigger because we took out the previous lows of 173.70

I've always thought Questrade and IBKR were the only real choices in Canada.
Maybe things have changed in the last couple of years...?
TD Canada ran out of TOS licenses and decided to build this garbage in-house so they get out of licensing TOS
Ugh!! Maybe check with Schwab if they are in Canada, they will own TOS.

you would think someone tested it
smci STO -c1410/+c1510 credit 1000
unrealized gain 575 during the drop
BTC 1219 instead of 425 OMG
my 57% gain evaporated
Pretty much caught the low. You're welcome.
(At least I was smart enough to buy for next week.)
BTC 50x TSLA 3/15 -c190 @24c (net +$2.16 = 90% profits)
STO 10x TSLA 3/15 -175 straddles @$7.2 -> mostly for entertainment, but 175 has been quite sticky all week, so...
Note: NVDA July +p600's dropped 15%, remember last week they seated going up in value while the SP was rising, might be an indication the stock rises from here... or not...

So you specified a market STC order and they gave you the worst price possible?
This is one reason I avoid market orders with my broker, super unreliable

There are many risks here. One big risk is you take the loss and the stock goes back down to 500. Now you owe stock on gains you've already lost. You can probably roll the calls out and up some to 2026 and get some of the gains back, without risking paying taxes. The downside is it goes to 2000 and you're locked in at 500. The upside is it goes down and you find some wiggle room to close out the calls without taking any loses. You can then sell way out of the money puts and buy back some of the calls over time. Look at Yoona's math before selling any puts. A 10% swing is not uncommon. When I used to run a lot, I learned you can make up minutes over miles, you can't make up miles in minutes.
