Trade Recap 15 August
Not a good start for the market today with the $Invesco QQQ Trust-ETF(QQQ)$
With both indexes weakening, I decided to trade $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$

Trade 1 🟢
TSLA 237.5 PUT
I bought in $TSLA 20230825 237.5 PUT$(1st green arrow) when I saw the price falling below the 1 min opening range. Sold half at around 10%+ profit and was waiting for a bigger move down. It did go lower but I only sold the other half when the price bounces back strongly.

Trade 2 🔴
TSLA 237.5 CALL
When the price continues to move higher after I sold my puts, I bought $TSLA 20230825 237.5 CALL$(2nd green arrow) in hopes of a V-shape recovery which happens often in Tesla stock. Not today, however, as the price gets rejected and hits my stop-loss. [Cry]
Trade 3 🟢

The bearish sentiment seems to be strong today, so I bought $TSLA 20230825 235.0 PUT$(3rd green arrow) to follow the trend. I took profits when I see the price consolidating and not moving much.

Overall, a pretty green day for me and I’m grateful for what the market has given me. One key lesson today is to cut my losses short and let my winners run a bit longer. Don’t fight the trend.

I think TSLA playing odd ball personally, Not an option buyer myself just yet.. Holding this Gem that turning into a Stone hoping it will shine.
thanks for sharing.. thinking on closing and every opinion counts towards my final decission, Gave TSLA the chance and it trembles. wonder if it will go below 230 oragins.
Cheers @TigerOptions
