TSLA option trade

18 thg 2, 2023

TSLA reached my earlier target

As it is at multiple levels of resistance (200 day EMA, 50% retracement of the down trend, previous support at around 220 now acting as resistance etc), I suspect it might retrace some of the up move. Here is my trade

• Buy March 17 200 put
  
• Sell March 17 185 put
  
• Sell March 17 180 put
  

You can see the P/L graph on the chart. I opened the trade for a credit of $0.80. Even though this is a short position, I don't have any upside risk here. As for downside, here are the scenarios at expiration

• Closes above 200, I keep the $0.80 credit
  
• Closes between 200 and 185, I get up to $1500 based on where it closes
  
• Closes between 185 and 180, my profit will be $1500
  
• Closes below 180. I will be assigned 100 shares of TSLA at 180 and based on where it closes I will start losing my profit. My loss starts at 165.
  

I will exit this trade long before expiration if I get around 50% of the profit. I have a GTC order in place to do so.
