Sorry for confusion. TSLA trade is pretty much done. It will most likely scratch. I am trying to set up earnings plays for ROKU and CRM with long straddle/strangle expiring in March. I already bought the puts and now waiting to buy the calls on a down day.

Few queries:

- Whats the account size?

It’s live.
Account size does not matter because this are just R&D trades. I just trade one lot to see what happens. But obviously my account is large enough to take these hits.
How much I made or lost is also irrelevant. I am obviously experimenting here and don’t recommend this as a strategy or even a valid way to trade.
This journal may actually be a good one to see what NOT to do

Everybody has a different way to learn
Suffering through a bad trade for learning, is something that I do too. Don't recommend it obviously.
Did you follow this trade from inception??
It started with a bad leg that he turned into a calander and was dead right,then dead wrong and consequently looking break even -ish...
Along the way he made some great calls and stuck to his guns. It was more punting than anything else..I would have traded it much differently,but I also would Never have been up as much as Q...

You guys backed out of the challenge
How much better would this thread be if you and @newwurldmn tried to trade out of the “bad leg!?” But probably a waste of time for you guys.Oh important disclaimer - I assume I may get assign shares, so account size is large enough for that.
