Something strange happened: Over night i got way more excess liquidity with IBKR .. they must have changed something in their margin calculations like a tweak to their "concentration penalty" or so. just FYI ..

Closed mine for 80% profit (-1 -> -0.2), but also too early :D

No. Be louder .. i got some -315c open for this week as insurance :D ok ok .. i go to the other thread again :p

no. we hover around 311-313.. which is the 50% retractment line (if you draw your fibs to ath->year low).. at least thats what i got on my chart .. :D

we just hit 311.90 whih i had marked as 50% retractment from jan high to year lows.. aaand we just broke it.

long calls or covered calls?

Exactly what I think, too. In the last interview Powell stated that the biggest learning from the 70ies inflation-cycles was, that the rates got lowered too early. So he wants them high until Inflation comes down, let them stay at that level for longer and make the Job-Market more...

yup. they were to aggressive .. as i have been too aggressive on the split.. I thought that worst-case i had that friday to close them .. but we opened up hard negative there & i chose to roll instead of close them for a loss pushing the can further down the road. They are still very aggressive...

i read 2:30pm earlier today ... but maybe that was not given in the right time-zone? .. edit: it is indeed 8:30 am CPI Release Schedule .. thanks for the hint & reminder!

trail hit at 6.70 on the small downtrend. I wanted to cover that position in fear of bad CPI-Reaction tomorrows anyways. Also rolled the 280p->285p on my sep 23 305/280 BPS for 1 buck, have another order set up to roll up 285->290 as well. I got hit very hard with sudden SP drops for no reason...

and rolled my few -300c to -305c as we hit 305 .. (out a week, up 5. this time for a small debit (0.2 or so)). if we continue they will soon(tm) reach the dec +300c .. :D but that position gives more theta than the 300c cost, has similar delta and will always be around ATM (or OTM if the SP...

Has noone posted the >300 yet? Or have i just not noticed it? ... 😅

i know .. still haven't bought them .. and they are taunting me every time i go into the appropriate section in the app .. :D

:( i bought 10x 295p when we hovered at 28 for 0.5 ... Why can't the MM hit the <295-target the one time i try to profit off them as well?! .. :( lets hope they get it under control with heavy naked shorting in the last hour and the have to unwind it by monday :D

in comparison to the company that installed heated rear seats without me ordering it & then offering me to unlock it for 300 bucks.. :D

Any idea on how to gain risk-free theta in the current situation (meaning: worst-case is losing out on profit, but not loss)? for Fr->Fr the "safe" amount should be 18% iirc... so i looked at CCs ... at 350.. 0.1$ .. what a joke. I don't want to open new BPS, because i got burned hard by...

Sadly they will never work .. But i still envision solar-roofed bicycleways .. :) Solar-Roofed motorways are sadly not possible due to the "light-flickering" between the panels that can cause ellipse and other naughty stuff in some people.. Thats one of the reasons why there are only a few...

I'm more interested when TSLA zooms past the NASDAQ .. currently TSLA is only 11$ behind (294.5 vs 305.8) :D

for my rolls i currently do a: CC at strike X, SP X+5$ -> Roll 1 week out, 5$ up. Usually this is ±0 when the SP touches X+5$. Preparing the next roll.. when we touch 300.. currently that position is "covered" by dec 300c

The term LFP is relatively new... i only heard it since 2 years or so in american reporting. Before it was always LiFePo (and also printed that way onto the batteries). NCA, NMC, etc. are not Batteries, but Cathodes. "NMC Li-Ion" is what is printed on them, implying (in this example) a Graphite...

Only thing I see is the * in the last test that is never explained.. Maybe they could not set up something and thus have a penalty?!

Well.. you are not living in germany .. In the EU-Ranking we pay the most for the worst service.. and rank similar to european countries like Azerbaidjan... Running gag: How you know you enter/leave germany? Phone-Reception and internet suddenly gets good/terrible.

Yup, was me 😅

That maybe removes it from the regulations, but i will be hard to also remove it from all corporate bylaws or even fund-specific bylaws that buyers from that fund maybe also signed when investing in it. I mean ... Not complicated, but tedious, costly and potentially a lot of paperwork..

its the same thing that is going on for months now .. and it usually is plastered with "double you crypto"-scam addresses...

taking a page out of @Yoona s book: 0 is roughly premarket-low/yesterday close. 100 is premarket high. 273,9-285,8 sounds like a probable range .. especially with upwards pressure & max-pain putting pressure to keep it below 286...

We had a lot of xx7.5 before the split.

i know, i know. exactly what i'm betting on. if TSLA gives me a sell-signal & qqq is not bullish anymore position gets reopened. if i get a buy-signal & qqq hold the resistance at 300 again .. i close.. rinse, repeat. :D Sadly i am still bad at timing the market, but manage to close my...

Thank you for your prediction. Turned around and just broke 275 again :) now i just need to time the top again to put in my downward-insurances .. :D

now please say, that TSLA won't close above 280, which is critical technical support.. so that we may blast through it in the last 15 minutes of trading .. :D

that got me playing around with such things again .. stop it.. :D But then just this happened to me on a Bear-Call-Spread: Go Home, IBKR.. you are drunk! :D But i like the idea of TSLA going above $244442688 on friday making this Bear-Spread profitable again :D

implying that tsla 280, qqq 300, spy 395 hold and there is a reversal soon.. :D

Patience is hard, when things are on a clock ticking down to max-loss ... 😅

It makes it more probable that he will get a "way out" if he wants.

60 sounds about right. It was 40 some time ago. A production line at Tesla has small units (they call it cells) that do the same thing. If you have an idea for streamlining stuff (i.e. saving a cent of metal, changing 1 chip on a board, etc.) You implement it on one cell, get it to volume...

In a new Episode of "i f'ed up and need options-magic to possibly save me": I did not hedge enough for such a downward pressure thrusday + friday + today. Options to the rescue: (all numbers for friday) (all numbers for today) Aim: 1. Downside protection 2. Theta-positive for the time being...

As I got asked for source, I googled a bit. My source at Uniper can't supply information out of working hours 😅 The exchange is EEX and to get a clearer picture (as this is an instant-delivery-market 😅) are quite tricky to set up as everything get munches together and averaged out in...

Gas is a byproduct of oil extraction and even if you shut the well it still gases out.

About the Russian gas situation: https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/weltwirtschaft/nord-stream-gas-verbrennen-russland-sanktionen-flamme-gaspreis-gazprom-bbc-101.html Russia burns the NG that was meant for Nord stream because there are no reservoir capacities anymore & CO2 is not as harmful...

News from the European energy markets: Yesterday 1 kWh hit the intraday peak of 1,18€ on the spot market. Up 40cents in 3 days. Rates for "base load" in the future are insane high as well. Note: spot market usually fluctuates with production and usually goes negative midday in the summer due to...

I thought about selling safe 350c over the weekend on nearly everything not currently covered.. I the checked. And it was an awfully small premium.. 😅

Cue the video with "My Son totaled my Tesla and this is what happened..." with whining all over the place and then a segway to his Patreon or a gofundme... I mean .. i have never seen him - but usually this is how it plays out it modern social-media culture .. 😅

uncheck the "zoom in" revealing the whole glory of 2 open-interests overlayed onto each other... :D

Why have 1 max-pain, when you can have 2: so .. this site also got kind of broken :D

-450% margin warning over night here 😅

That is $24000 pre-pre-split!!1! Thats about 25000 euros .. or 50000 Mark.. or 500000 East-Mark on the black market .. :D ok ok .. i am old -.-

Oh .. i must have missed that while skimming the article.. So "BREAKING: Future Technology might be better than current! - More News at 11"... :D

Complete BS. You cannot change the limitations of physics (especially heat and expansion) with a "better software"...

I thought it would, if you make a U-turn on the next intersection - but FSD can't do U-turns and thus drives into the neighborhood again & ends up at the same spot.. or do i not remember something correctly?

stop posting that .. i am getting nerdsniped and think about how to automate the interpretation of these.. ;) like identifying what trades go together (i.e. if someone is closing a call spread or just rolling it)... - especially if you start registering it in a virtual portfolio .. so you see a...
