Is this something you have really traded all day or just peeked in and made a few trades. If a trader is scalping and making a lot of trades the free commissions could make a huge difference.
Anyone on ET Daytrading TESLA

Stonks are never free, b-a spread is where they get ya. TSLA I'm guessing (someone can correct me) spread is $0.03-0.05 range, eMini almost all of the time is 1 tick other than middle of the night.
Spread is 2 to 3 cents. 3 is most common
Funny you said, “peek”….I peek occasionally at other stocks…
when I see TLSA behaving like it has been, I watch it all day and trade it.
the spread on TSLA can and has been at times .10 or more….watching the spread helps me with the direction of the price move.
Off my Chinese brokerage app. Options have been a dream to trade with TSLA. The T/S moves like a symphony.

I sell puts instead.
Thursday someone bought 1000@$.19 $250 calls and let them expire worthless. They opened at $3+ and he refused to sell as they passed $4. I buy and sell either, totally agnostic.
Well, I made a decision. Watching ES today was like throwing a small rock into a pond and watching the ripples while TSLA had some meaningful moves. I am going to bring my TOS account up to PDT levels and trade Tesla.
Just curious: What do you think would be a decent expectation of average daily profit per share while daytrading TSLA. I have a number in mind but I don't want to be the first to say.

Sold my $250s for $7.40, I thought of buying the $260-$270s but reason came to my rescue.
