Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

I think the value in free FSD for a month is in the data collection and not anything financial. That people see this as a potential sign of margin expansion is worrying.

The supply/demand equation on the Y is changing, so it is hard to see where we will stabilize.

I sold some 4/5 $185CCs today.

To be clear, I'm net short into P&D with 160/150P until I can see a 1H RSI above 70. Today the number for that is 177.5, may change tomorrow/next week. Above that number Ill cut shorts.

Only above 183 will I add more long.

We got an 1-HR RSI >70...still planning to cut shorts?

The ride-along could be some sort of data collection/marketing.

Looking to print another 15 min candle and fight to keep it red has been strong.

They used to, but it seems like that has stopped. They might also need consent agreed to for the data to be useful.

I cut short.
Right now I'm gonna wait for a pullback to enter long. Fresh overbought on the hourly means after a pullback it will go back up and create a higher high than 182.22. On that spike I'll judge the momentum to see whether I should cut long and go short or keep riding long.

Brave! I sold a few -p925s at $6 for this week. I don't want to cartwheel with the stock close to $1,000.

Yes, however, the data disclosure needs to be ack'd and the signal to noise ratio is much better when FSD is active and then disengaged and reported with voice.

Is that two days after earnings? Or is earnings a week later? I can't find reliable info about the expected earnings date.

Moderator's hat on: why are we discussing FSD data collection in the options thread?

Hmm, sell 10 -cc May 17 $185 (ATM nearly) for $15, or 10 -cc May 17 $195 for ~ $12… what to do what to do. I’m going to let things get a tad richer and then probably go $195.

Thanks. Pls let us know when you make the decision on the spike.
How deep a pullback do you have in mind, gap fill or that's too much?
