Big NFLX & META Trades Headline a Wild Thursday

  • Trader By Instinct opened July call positions in MSFT, NVDA, TSLA, and NFLX at limit
  • GP scaled out of a runner in multiple tranches at 22.05, 20, 19.4, and 18.65

  • GP cut SPX 7555 protective puts at .20 after buying for .45

Mods came in loaded on Thursday with a heavy tilt toward NFLX, META, and mega-cap tech calls. Trader By Instinct opened the day stacking July calls on MSFT, NVDA, TSLA, and NFLX at limit fills, while GP built out a broad book across NFLX, MSFT, META, COIN, INTC, RKLB, and even an SPX 7580 call — plus an SPX 7555 put as protection that he cut at .20. GP booked multiple scale-outs, including exits at 14.55, 22.05, 20, 19.4, 18.65, 17.7, and 15.68, alongside smaller wins closing pieces at 1.85, 1.59, 1.46, 1.57, and 1.90.

Random Trader ran the superloto playbook and it paid on NVDA 207.5c, scaling out of a .41 entry at 2.00 and 3.18. He also trimmed META 620c at .40 and .55 from .97, and rode META JUL13 650c from .60 to partial exits at 25.58 and 20. Not everything hit — AAOI 120c was cut at .42 from .65 — but the NFLX/META thesis carried the tape.
