How's your TSLA bull call spread doing today after TSLA hit the 800 mark?

The TSLA bear call spread?

As I mentioned in post #17, I sold TSLA and NVDA Tuesday to avoid the potential volatility of this week. To be honest I got lucky. TSLA has been a freight train and perhaps not best candidate for this strategy but I did take a profit Tuesday after the stock pulled back some and the theta decay. You can always take profits or close the positions before expiration. NVDA worked according to the strategy.

How was your trading this week?

Your list contains basically hot stocks from Nasdaq100. I wonder if we can expand the list to optimal. how about stocks with IVs and the slope of regression etc..

Hey tiger, would love any ideas on improving stock list and evaluation criteria but I have little technical skills on the platform other than some basic manipulation of studies and scans. Let's evaluate any and all ideas that come to mind.

NVDA again on Monday when it hit above 3rd SD, sold the 590/595 calls. Closed on Tuesday when the spread hit 80% of its profit potential. Some good choices hitting the bottom bands, FB, AMZN, and NFLX but did not take the bull put spreads as my bias right now is to the downside. I'd rather sell the exuberance given the political craziness and what I think is greater downside potential.

Update - took ZM this morning and the 400/405 call credit spread.

I waited. I was betting the stock couldn't hold the gap up. There was also a significant number of open interest on the 400 calls and was thinking the market makers would do what they could not to pay. The general market was weak so decided to ride it out.

@agorena123 do you mind sharing a screenshot of your scanner setup? I tried based on your description, but the scanner always returns 0 results.

I don't have an image hosting service but its fairly straightforward.

Using Stockhacker I only use the Study filter for StandardDeviationChannel.
Scan for "Close" is "Less Than" "1.5" of the "140" period, ext hours unchecked for stocks hitting lower bands.
And same but "Greater Than" for the second scan where stock is hitting upper bands.
Make sure you pick a Watchlist in the upper menu.

# Free for use. Header credits must be included when any form of the code included in # this package is used.
#
# User assumes all risk. Author not responsible for errors or use of tool.
# scripted by Todd Rind
#
# Thanks to all those who have freely shared ThinkScript concepts over the Web.
#
# The study is used to analyze the DAILY CLOSING performance of an equity against
# the expected move (EM) for any ticker.
# The study works for daily aggregation only.
# Best performance will be against ETF's due to the option and stock implied volatility
# typically being close. When looking at equities, earnings will cause a difference
# between volatility for options and stock. That is, option volatility may be
# elevated as compared to the stock volatility. Since option volatility cannont
# be accessed from ThinkScript, the script EM will be lower than the EM found
# in the option chain.
#
# NEW LOGIC
#
# Drawing line from previous close.
# Completed the daily calculations for inside EM.
# Turned the "dots" for the bars exceeding EM to RED.
# Added logic for "touches". The "dots" for touches are BLUE.
# Touches are a calculated bandwidth around the EM bars. EX:
# High touches occur when either the high or close is within the calculated
# bandwith of the EM. Default is 90% of EM.
#
# MINOR ISSUES TO MONITOR
#
# Remove the bars not marked with EM levels from the % occurance calculation.
# Fixed by making sure high & low bar > 1.
#
# Note sent to TOS Support about counter issues when checking day number-no response
# from TO. It appears that occasionally a bar out of view is used as the start.
# Seems to sometimes make Friday count one to many.
