TSLA -Hit short target! Short

Tesla, Inc.NASDAQ

Description

Nice work everybody! TSLA is in the sell zone now! Remember to watch the all time highs! If we see TSLA break above that, then the trade is cancelled. We should begin a long 5 wave move down for the next few years. Lets see if we get the 1st target below at 298 :)

@budchevy, whats the strike price we are talking about bud?
budchevy
@HG.crypto.17, I bought the Jan 2020 $450 puts for $120

@budchevy, if you don't mind me asking, why $450? why not $500? or $400?

is that because thats the max amount of money you want to risk on this trade?

@HG.crypto.17, I was just a comfortable risk level for me based on WK's info..

@budchevy, All time high was 389.61, In case TSLA breaks that level. I personally don't like stops, as they frequently get hit and run. If it breaks above this high that is my sell signal only. I then look for a 50% retracement of the most recent swing up and then measure back down to sell. Most times I suffer less damage than the stop loss area. Frequently , I'll actually make money on the play. Since we are trying to sell at the highs (buy puts) we have crowded the upper end of the swings to minimize our risk capital. So lets see how this plays out. It's always scary to sell (buy puts) when everybody else is buying the stock. If we get a good crack below 366.75, I'll feel very good about this play :)
