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.

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.

Opening (IRA): TLT Sept 19th 83 Short Put... for an .88 credit.
Comments: Camping out with a strike slightly below the 52-week low, where the options contract is paying a smidge more than 1% of the strike price in credit.
I don't really need more TLT, but wouldn't mind being assigned more at a lower price than the stock element of my covered calls.
