What an odd way to ID it. I figured it would say 3022P123 instead of C.

Don't mind me.

YOLOing it through your balcony in cash would've been a better decision

I tried joining earlier this year but I lost my entire $100K account selling TSLA call spreads. Probably should start with $50 next time and not sell calls on a stock that’s mooning either. Oh, and position sizing is important.

Yeah if you’re putting $100,000 into a credit spread, you can lose all of it by expiration. You can blow yourself up just as fast as with FDs.

Try doing some 30/16 delta iron condors first.

Good luck. Im down like a million dollars from Nov 2021 highs because I kept betting the trend would reverse.... instead of quiting and following the trend at some point.

And/or listening to the crap advice I got from Morgan Stanley- and not cashing out my calls and buying QYLD. Id have lost a lot on QYLD but Id still have a bunch of Tesla shares and have a second income stream instead of holding my calls to zero then losing more trying to makeup the losses

Im still salty about it. My account grew steadily all 2022 late September I made some small bets on Tesla rising into Q3 earnings and larger bets for Nov/Dec calls. Tesla went up 50% in a month. I made like 600k in a month. Mostly options, some $TSLA.

I considered closing the options, paying off my bit of margin - then doing something with the remaining cash but I had no idea what to do with the cash. Asked about buying QYLD was told not too- didn't. Monday Elon asked Twitter about Taxes. Tesla dropped 90% since

In the future: it’s easier to deal with high liquidity, low price (like literally small number), and narrow strike differences in your spread, especially when you first start. The whole point of spreads is to reduce risk, but a $900/share stock with $5 spread strikes is always going to require a lot of risks.

It’s also not a great idea to be risking 100% of your account. I only revolve about 5% of my portfolio through theta strats.

Also, don’t continue digging into a losing strategy, just loose and walk away.

How are you feeling, OP? Last gape of 2022.

I dont have a broker you smooth brained regard. I am blaming the broker I talked to at a major firm for being a fucking idiot.

Any broker worth a shit would have told me to take some profits and offered to set up a meeting. He didn't. That's like sales 101.

Hell if any of my friends had asked me what to do I would have told them to take profits and offered to help them figure it out and I am not even a broker.

You probably couldn't sell a cardboard box to a cat

Doubt. Even if you're not lying Its irrelevant. The sales man I talked to told me not to worth with him when he had the opportunity to make some commissions. Hes bad at his job.

Hopefully youre better at sales than you are at reddit

I can probably turn that around by selling. Usually it does exact opposite when I get involved 🤣 who wants me to save Tesla?
