I've traded the Q's for 25 years but this is the first time I tried one of those zero day options. My old strategy was to NEVER hold overnight I decided the high risk in a zero day was OK, I'd be out red or green anyway. It was negative all day until these past 20 minutes. BUT, DAAANG that delta and price sure changes fast compared to an option expiration a couple months out. Now I know if I use that I better have the correct direction.

Closed out too fast at the open due to the overnight drop of a couple bucks. Already higher than the previous day close. But, my day job gets in the way of watching the markets during the day. It's a green trade so a good one.

This was underwater for most of the trade but popped positive just before expiration. I got into it thinking the tariffs would drop the price. While it did drop, it was only a small amount, not enough to get to positive until a couple days ago.

I took this trade based on reading they have not missed an earnings report in a couple years. The earnings miss and tariff announcement put me in the red for a few weeks but then yesterday the China trade news popped it up into the green territory so I sold on strength.

Great financials for the past few years, never missed a quarterly report in the past 2 years and several brokerage house price upgrades. I thought it would go a lot higher (still think it will) but their report missed and this trade was down about 60% at one point. With options time decay for the expiration month upon me, I was super happy to get out with a positive trade. It's still climbing but I don't care, don't look back on a GREEN trade.

This was going great until the tariffs hit. Dropped below entry but slowly came back up to break even today.

The pop over the weekend was just as Tim thought.

LEAP options based on Tim Bohen's call on TSLA.
