You only need like $50 to join theta gang

gypsies232 OP t1_j2a01rg wrote

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.

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.

Serious question, What makes you think Tesla is actually a good company?

They were selling credit spreads. I think they think the company is garbage

Edit I take it this person isn’t showing us all his positions.

AlfredKinsey t1_j2c4cs2 wrote

It’s more like with about $500, you can start to sell options to people and sometimes make an extra $30 a month.

Kamikaze_Cash t1_j2chbrz wrote

You can sell $1-wide call credit spreads with $50 of collateral and make $25/week.

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

Don't mind me.

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

gypsies232 OP t1_j2aabwn wrote

Thank you! I have yet to reach a million dollars to lose but it puts it all in perspective (no pun intended).

reddituseranyonymous t1_j2abm09 wrote

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

Lol blaming your broker for you gambling losses?

reddituseranyonymous t1_j2drsuq wrote

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

reddituseranyonymous t1_j2dtegv wrote

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?
