Trade Logic Share:

TSLA broke through a key pressure level in early May, and I started to focus on it after the intraday confirmation of a step back to support, in the direction of a long position.

The 317.5 strike price was chosen because it was stuck right at the key breakout point, taking into account a reasonable delta and price/performance ratio.

The purpose of using near-term options (May 16 expiration) is to eat the combined effect of an accelerating wave to the upside + Gamma amplification + hidden wave enhancement.

The overall strategy revolves around short-term sentiment reinforcement + technical pattern confirmation, a fast-paced pattern I usually favor.

Execution details:

After confirming the validity of the retracement, I stepped in on May 12 with a reasonable stop-loss program.

The lot size was 50 lots, which is a large position that I use in my high win rate strategy.

The next day, after a swift move in early trading, I placed a pending order to sell at the high level in the afternoon in batches, and was successful in selling at $19.90.

Actual results:

Bought at an average price of about $8.35, sold at $19.90

Net gain: $57,724.30, a 138% return.

Summary Points:

Don't chase the high, wait for confirmation.

Gamma is greatest near expiration
