Sold weekly strangle for following week. Same open strategy of strike price range of above 4ATR, with current price as near middle as possible as no strong directional bias. $TSLA 20240112 257.5 CALL$ $TSLA 20240112 222.5 PUT$
Sold new 3DTE short strangle at lower strike price range due to strong price action downwards to capture more premium after closing previous strangle with partial profits. $TSLA 20240105 255.0 CALL$ $TSLA 20240105 220.0 PUT$
Sold strangle position for following week slightly early considering next week is a 4-day week. To offset the increased risk, I increased the range between strike prices. $TSLA STRANGLE 240105 PUT 240.0/CALL 282.5$
Sold call side of the weekly stangle first as price action rebounded aggressively and is now at the upper bound of long term downtrend channel. Will monitor price and sell put side of strangle in next 1-2 days, hopefully after price has retraced so I have lower risk. $TSLA 20231222 265.0 CALL$
Price action moved more than 50% towards the strike price of $220 Put so I started considering management strategies. Decided to use extra margin to open new short strangle at lower strike prices preemptively to collect more premium at lower risk levels. Will monitor original strangle and close out if price continues to move towards $220 strike price. Will open new strangle for premium if that happens. Maximum stop loss level will be when total losses = total premium collected. $TSLA 20231215 212.5 PUT$ $TSLA 20231215 250.0 CALL$
Initiated my short strangle position for next week one day earlier as market has been sideways this week which didn't eat into my excess liquidity set aside to absorb market movement. One day extra means more risk but also more premium. Will hold positions from this week to expiry if possible to maximise premium gained. $TSLA 20231215 260.0 CALL$ $TSLA 20231215 220.0 PUT$
Can consider to take profit now since more than 50% of total premium will be collected if close the positions now. But I plan to hold on and let time decay work in my favour. $TSLA 20231208 260.0 CALL$ $TSLA 20231208 220.0 PUT$
