Shortput
Opening (IRA): TLT May 15th -83P... for a .91 credit.
Comments: I don't know that I really need more TLT shares, but wouldn't mind picking them up if they're cheap or they reduce my cost basis in the stock aspect of my covered call setup.
Here, targeting the 52-week low in the expiry that is paying around 1% of the strike price in credit. This is a bit long-dated, but I don't have much on here, so am fine with hanging out in the trade longer than I would usually.
Metrics:
Max Profit: .91 ($91)
Buying Power Effect: 82.09
ROC at Max: 1.11%
Will look to ladder out at the 83 strike, so long as it's paying >1% of the strike price in credit.
Opening (IRA): IBIT January 16th -47P... for a 1.36 credit.
Comments: Adding at intervals at strikes better than what I currently have on, targeting the 25 delta (ish) strike.
Metrics:
Max Profit: 1.36 ($136)
Buying Power Effect: 45.64
ROC at Max: 2.98%
Will generally look to start taking profit at 50% of max and/or roll to obtain assignment of shares at the lowest price the market will allow, after which I'll proceed to sell call against.

Opening (IRA): SPY March 20th -550P... for a 5.75 credit.
Comments: Adding at intervals, assuming I can get in at prices better than what I current have on. Targeting the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit.
I'm going out quite far dated here because I already have rungs on in December 31st (-642P), January (-605P, -625P), and February (-575P, -600P) expiries and didn't want to step on those as it were as I look to manage them via roll.
Opening (IRA): SPY February 20th -600P... for a 6.09 credit.
Comments: Laddering out at strikes better than what I currently have on. It would be better if I had weakness, but I've got dry powder for that should it occur.
Targeting the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit. Will generally roll to lock in realized gains and/or "window dress" (i.e., roll down and out to a lower strike paying approximately the same amount of credit.

Short PalantirTrading Fam,
This will be only the second short I have taken since implementing my new indicator. We are up 250%+ pending exits in just over a year; however, during that time, I have taken long entries only. Now, it's time to test accuracy on the short side.
On my NASDAQ:TSLA short (my first ever short entry), we are already comfortably in profits. More to come on that.
As far as NASDAQ:PLTR goes, my signal gave me a SELL at $195. As I have been in the habit of waiting for confirmation, I did not enter immediately. Yesterday and today, I believe I have been given the chance for a decent entry. I've entered short at a price of $190 and will shoot for that 200-day SMA at somewhere around $145 for a 2.37 rrr.
Let's see how this goes.
