Option Trade Recap

It was a call-buyer's day across the board. Trader By Instinct loaded up on directional calls in $MU, $CRCL, $COIN, $MSTR, $TSLA, $SPCX, $BITX and $META, then rode $META SEP25 750 calls from 1.25 to ~13 and SEP25 800s from 0.60 to as high as 3.60. GP was in constant motion — scaling out of a runner in thirds (5.10 → 7.15 → 11.20 → 15.60) and trimming another position in fifths from 5.85 up to 10.72, while opening fresh swings in $TSLA, $MU, $SPX, $META, $MSFT, $GOOGL, $RKLB, $ASTS, $OKTA, $GLD and $SNDK.

Random Trader stole the show on $META SEP21 695 calls, scaling out at 7.55, 12.10, 15 and finally 20 from a 0.53 entry, then repeated the trick on META 725s (0.44 avg) trimming from 2.60 all the way to 17. He also banked a MU SEP21 1060c from 0.75 to 10, a DOCN SEP25 150c from 0.55 to 4.52, and rotated into $NVDA, $CRWV, $AMZN, $OKTA and $COIN OCT23 300s (after a strike correction). Not all winners — MSFT 500 lottos and a late TSLA 375c were trimmed at small losses.

A busy Thursday across the trade channels with GP and Random Trader running heavy option flow. GP rotated through SPX, MU, TSLA, META, ORCL, GOOGL, INTC, NVDA, QQQ, IBIT, and COIN calls — booking scale-outs across multiple names (MU 1010c trimmed from .47 up to 4.4/4.9, META scaled at 5.7/9.1/13.6/14.4, and ORCL 175c 10/16 taken off in pieces at 10.35/11.80). TSLA remained the day's tax, with several small lotto entries and a stopped-out 370 call before an EOD 380c also bled.

Random Trader rode COIN 180c from .62 to as high as 11.27 for the trade of the day, then rolled into COIN 190c and 197.5c. MU 1010c also worked (.27 into 4.2), and NET 322.5c scaled from .5 to 1.5. Losers included TSLA 375c stopped at .18 and NVDA 220c EOD loto out at .35.

GP ran a busy tape around the FOMC event, opening the day with SPX 9/22 7850 calls at .45 and scaling out in pieces at 1.78, 2.03, and 3.70 for a monster runner. He followed with SPY 9/18 766 calls at .42, exiting halves at 4.70 and 5.83, and doubled up ASTS 10/16 80 calls from 1.06 to 2.08. Quick wins also came on COIN 180 calls (.60 → 1.26) and ORCL 155 calls (.45 → 1.50). Not everything cooperated — a TSLA 9/18 355 put was cut at .96 to look for a re-short, and a NOW 9/25 150 call saw a 1/4 trim at 1.05 from 1.28. New swings opened in MSFT 505c, META 695c, CRCL 95c, USO 155p, and TSLA 380c (heavier than normal).

Random Trader stuck to the superlotto playbook with cheap fliers on NVDA 230c (.15), MU 1080c (.65), NOW 145c (.37), ALAB 310c (.56), and META 705c/750c. He joined GP on COIN 180c at .62 and self-admittedly "hated money" on a stack of FSLR upside calls. Lone exit noted: DOCN 135c out at 1.60 from .50 — tribute trade.

Ahead of the FOMC, GP stayed busy across single names and index options — opening GOOGL 355c (.82), MU 960c (.5), COIN 175c (1.93, later trimmed 1/3 at .78), CRCL 85c (1.1), TSLA 370c (.2), AAPL 340c (.74), MSTR 135c/140c, QQQ 718c/726c, and multiple SPX call scalps. Winners included an SPX 7550c trimmed half at 2.6 and an SPX 7665 9/18c exited fully from 2.70 to 3.70. Hedges layered in via March SPY 690p at 13 and TSLA 355p at .32, plus an XLE 61p for 9/30 at .36. GP also sold January COIN 170 puts for 26 to get long near range lows, and got stopped on SPCX 165c at 1.12 after entering at 1.4.

Random Trader kept sizes small and speculative, opening DOCN 150c (.55) and 135c (.5), ORCL 155c (.42) on a 50sma hold, NVDA 217.5c (.21) as a lotto, META 720c (.6) and 685c (.55), and a TSLA 360c EOD superlotto at .28.

GP was busy across index and single names, opening SPX 7600 and 7615 calls, SPY 758 same-day calls, and lotto-priced call plays in CRCL, MSTR, META, COIN, TSLA (365/370 strikes), and AMZN. He also grabbed downside via XLE 65 puts and USO 155 puts. One noted exit came on a call flip to 1.83 from 1.25, while an AMZN 260 call was cut at .08.

Random Trader leaned into 'superloto' cheapies — NVDA 220c, MU 1020c and 980c, ARM 290c, COIN 210c and 195c, NOW 155c, TTD Oct 20c, and TSLA 370c/390c. He joined the MSTR 150c idea near .46 but was later stopped out.

Monday brought a heavy flow of call buys across the mod desks, with Trader By Instinct opening a stack of Sep 25 upside plays in $META (750C @ 1.25), $MSFT (540C @ 0.90), $AMZN (272.5C @ 0.75), plus $MU 1000C and $CRCL 110C lottos. GP was the busiest of the day, layering into $TSLA, $MU, $META, $NVDA, $ORCL, $SMCI, $APP, $CRCL and multiple $SPX call strikes, while also grabbing $MU 925 puts as a hedge in case of a fade.

On the exit side, GP scaled out of an $IBM 260C position (starting at 1.16) at 4, 4.5 and 4.65 for a clean multi-bagger, and trimmed $APP 360C at 1.25/1.30 from 1.20, plus an $MSFT 535C at 2.60 from 1.15. Random Trader stayed lighter and faster — small starters in $META, $TSLA, $FSLR and $MU, and booked 20% of $RBLX Sep 50C at 2.00 from 0.36, capping the day with EOD superlotos in $TSLA and $MU and a reminder not to size up.

It was a day of small premium, big swings across the trade channels. Trader By Instinct opened with a spread of directional bets — a $META Sep 600 put at 1.18, plus Sep calls on $CRCL, $COIN, $GOOGL, and cheap $AAPL 340 lottos. GP stayed hyperactive, cycling through $RKLB, $CRWV, $GOOGL, $ORCL, $TSLA, $MU, $SNDK, $META, $IBM, $MSTR, $IBIT, $BE and multiple $SPX day-trades, taking staged profits (out 1/3 at 2.6, 1/4 at 2.7, rest at 1.84 on one runner; another sold at 12.95) while joking about "burning monies" on the Friday TSLA 380 lottos.

Random Trader worked the superloto playbook all session, most notably scaling out of $DOCN 128c (7.5 and 2.12 trims after the earlier .55 entry) and booking 1/3 of $ARM 265c at 3.5 from .33. He rolled up repeatedly into $FSLR, $DOCN, $ARM, $ALAB, $MU and $TSLA, leaning on a late semi-squeeze thesis into the close with $ALAB and $ARM, and closed $TSLA 365c at .60 from .36.

GP was busy on the tape, opening calls across TSLA 375/380, SPX 7630/7650, MSFT 500, NFLX Nov 90, AAOI 125, GOOGL 350, CRWV 95, COIN 180, META 670, MU 1045, MSTR 135 and adding TLT 82/85 calls and USO 150 puts. He trimmed pieces of several — selling 1/3 of the SPX 7630 calls at 2.3 from 1.5, 1/4 of MSFT 500 calls at 5 from .6, and 1/5 of another position at 3.4 — but got stopped out of some TSLA at 1.13 and .71. Late in the day he added SPX 7575 puts at 1.4 as a hedge and sold at 1.99, noting "all the cushion gone in a single day."

Random Trader leaned into software strength with NOW, SNOW, MDB, CRWV, MSFT 505/515c and played both sides of TSLA — stopped on 345p (.85→.4) and 350p (.5→.33) before trying 352.5p again. He rotated META, trimming 625p at .75 from .49 and stacking META 670c, 680c, and SEP14 690c (added at .5). He also grabbed FSLR 210/215/235c, COIN 185c, DOCN 140c, and an ORCL 130p ER lotto, planning to hold TSLA calls and puts overnight.

Tuesday's tape belonged to $META, with Random Trader riding 640c from .42 all the way out at 15.60 in staged 20% trims (8.15, 9.38, 12.35, 15.60) and adding rolls into 650c, 655c, 657.5c and 660c superlotos through the day. GP stacked META call entries at 660, 665, and the 680 9/11 roll, taking profits in pieces at 7.10, 11.55, 15.10, and 7.25 as the name pushed higher.

Outside META, Random Trader trimmed NET 315c multiple times (2.50, 5.50, 6.50 from .50) and scaled out of DOCN Sep11 128c (7.50, 8.00 from .48), while spraying EOD lotos across TSLA, MU, NVDA, AAOI, ARM, FSLR, ALAB, DDOG and CRWV — MU 1030c ran from .43 to 2.50 before fading out at 1.06. GP worked a busy call book across SPX, AAPL, TSLA, GOOGL, MU, IBM, SMCI and SPCX, with a TSLA 362.5 put stopped out at 1.25 and a scalp closed at .96.

Monday was heavy on call buying across the desks. Trader By Instinct opened a basket of weekly upside calls on $MU (Sep 14 1200c @1.30), $SNDK (Sep 11 2150c @1.60), $AAOI (Sep 140c @1.75), $CRWV (Sep 110c @1.55) and $MRVL (Sep 260c @1.80). GP was active in index and mega-cap names, adding $SPX 9/11 7850c @1.50, $SPX 7720c @0.90 and 9/9 7750c @0.90, plus $COIN 195c, $META 9/9 640c, $TSLA 9/9 385c and 375c, $MU 9/9 1070c and 1090c, $MSFT 9/11 505c and $SPY 9/18 780c. GP trimmed 10% of one MU lot at 1.75, exited another at 2.24, and closed a TSLA lot at 1.51.

Random Trader ran a mix of superlotos and swing trades — $FSLR 230c/225c, $TSLA 380c, $SMCI 45c, $AAOI 130c, $GLW 185c, $NVDA 232.5c and 240c, $META 640c, $NET 315c and $MU 1070c. The standout was $CRWV SEP11 100c from .35: first quarter off at 2.80, another quarter at 5.30, with rolls into 120c and 115c. He also peeled 20% of $DOCN SEP11 128c at 5.50 from .48 and rolled up to the Sep 160c.

GP stayed active with a heavy call rotation, opening TSLA 370s at .34, TSLA 385 9/11s at 1.35 (trimming into 2.15, 2.13 and out the rest at 2.75), plus COIN 190s, AAPL 335s, MSTR 160s, AMD 480s on a roll from the 475s, META 660s, GOOGL 340s and multiple SPX call plays (7785, 7750, 7730, 7800 9/9, and 9/25 8100s). Some worked, others were cut for .28, .20 and .02.

Random Trader leaned on superlotos and tight-leash TSLA scalps, getting stopped twice on TSLA 360/362.5 calls before re-entering. Big win of the day: META 615c trimmed at 2.3 and closed at 2.0 from a much lower entry, and MU 1015c scaled out at 1.12, 2.5 and 1.6. Also took a 20% trim on NVDA 232.5c at 2.25.

Big activity across the trade channels today. Trader By Instinct scaled out of TSLA Sep 4 400 calls in two clips at 1.34 and 1.62 from a 0.75 entry, then rotated into new AVGO Sep 4 370 calls at 0.94 and TSLA Sep 9 425 calls at 0.81. GP ran a busy book — closing pieces at 6, 5.2, 4.2, 3.3 and 6.21 on runners, plus a AAOI 105c entry at 1.07 that got trimmed at 1.85, 3.90, 5, 7, 8.45 and 10 for a clean scale-out. GP also cycled through ASTS, SPCX (1.64 from .49), AVGO, MU, MSFT, META, AMD, GOOGL and a COIN 215c lotto at .17, while adding TSLA 360p and SPX 7740p as hedges plus a USO 140p at .62.\n\nRandom Trader worked META and COIN hard — trimming META Sep4 615c at 7 (then another quarter at 3.5) from .56, rolling into 650c, 640c and 630c, and taking a quarter of COIN 192.5c at 5 and 3.5 from .49. Also added NOW, NFLX, DOCN and W lottos/starters.

GP stayed active across TSLA, SPX, GOOGL, META, MU, RKLB, NOW, COIN and INTC calls, scaling out of a position in thirds (1.85 and 1.3) and flipping a TSLA 355c lotto from .20 to .27/.32. He also took an SPX 7675 call from 1.05 up to 1.31 on the last piece, though a separate trade got stopped at .09.

Random Trader rode a huge META SEP2 590c runner from .37, trimming quarters at 5, 8.5, 10.08 and closing the balance at 4.24, then rolled up into the 595c (out 1/4 at 2.5 from .52) and 600/602.5c. NVDA 222.5c from .25 was another standout, scaling out at 2.07, 4.6 and 2.15. A TSLA 355c EOD superlotto also worked, in at .24 and out at 1.21. A small META 580p hedge was stopped at .27 from .40.

GP was active on the tape, opening a wide book of call positions including GLD Nov 460s at 3.70, TSLA 9/2 380s at .16, META 9/2 600s at .32, MSFT 9/4 520s at .45 and 510s at 1.80, plus 9/2 510s at .40, and COIN 190s at 1.65. Index and macro plays followed with SPX 7665 calls at .95, 7650s at 1.45, 7700 9/2s at 1.50, TLT 9/18 84 calls at .19, and USO Oct 120 puts at 1.80 as a starter alongside 9/2 137 puts at .41. GP also took a MU 9/2 960 call at 1.98 flagging 927 as support and later sold at 2.52 for a clean win.

Random Trader leaned into similar names on a smaller scale, opening META Sep2 590c at .37 and Sep4 615c at .56, TSLA 375c at .45 (playing the 50SMA hold) and 367.5c at .48, and a MU Sep4 1050c at .62 — admitting the room couldn't talk him out of it. He also floated AVGO as a possible proxy.

TSLA was the star of the day across every channel. Random Trader turned a small TSLA 362.5c entry at .40 into a scaled exit ladder — trimming 20% at 2, 4, 4.27, 5.72 and 5.37 — before rolling up into 370c and 372.5c, then getting stopped out of a tight 367.5c starter at .60. GP loaded a broad basket of calls including TSLA 9/4 410c (.28), TSLA 9/2 385c (.56), TSLA 9/2 400c (.18), META 577.5c (.36), COIN 9/4 205c (.59), GOOGL 340c (.48), MSFT 525 9/4c (.96), IWM 9/4 298c (.40), AMZN 9/18 275c (1.51) and SPX 7700 (1.55), booking exits at 2.70, 3.80, 1.54, .89 and .21 along the way.

Trader By Instinct stayed focused on TSLA upside with SEP 2 400c at .23, SEP 4 400c at .75 and SEP 450c at .74. Random Trader also sprinkled in MU (965c, 980c, SEP2 1035c), AVGO 375c adds, COIN 210c and SEP11 235c, plus META 575c/580c/610c lotos, while GP added a MU 9/4 860p at 1.43 as a hedge and a late META 9/2 610c at .22.

GP was busy across indices and mega caps, opening SPX 7780 and 7725 calls, QQQ 725s, NVDA 232.5s, META 595s, TSLA 355s and 347.5s, MSTR 130s and 9/4 145s, MSFT 525s, plus SPCX 141/150/155 call plays. He scaled out of runners in thirds — hitting 1.60, 1.73, 1.80, 1.85, 1.96, 2.19 and 3.90 on various tickets — while also selling ASTS Oct 55 puts for 4.50 and stopping a losing ticket at .35. Trader By Instinct closed the IREN Aug 28 47C/36P strangle at 0.73 from 1.05 and added MU Aug 28 945C lottos at 0.38.

Random Trader had the standout call of the day on NOW 135C, trimming a third at 6.75 and the balance at 9.11 from .29, then rotating into NOW 144C which he later exited at .81. He also scaled META 590C (avg .48) with a 1/4 out at 2.91, layered META 585/615 calls, and sprinkled superlottos on COIN, TSLA, OKTA, and TEAM. Hedges included AVGO 360P and SPCX 136P at SMA rejections; TSLA 345P stopped at .11.

Trader By Instinct rang the register hard, scaling out of $NOW Aug 28 130 calls from 0.98 up to 7.8, $MDB Aug 28 430 calls from 1.20 into 11.5, and $ARM Aug 28 275 calls from 0.63 to 2.6. He also closed $META 600 calls at 2 (from 0.88) and $SOLT Sep 70s at 5.7 (from 1.9), then opened fresh swings on $AVGO, $IREN, $MRVL, and $TSLA into the close.

GP stayed active across index and single-name calls, trimming $SPX 7750s from 1.1 into 2.76, working $ORCL 9/18/26 190 calls from 1.73 up to 4.45, and rotating through $TSLA, $AAPL, $META, and $AVGO calls with quick scales. Random Trader notched wins on $NOW 135c (out 1/3 at 4.36 from 0.29) and $NET 305c (scaled out at 5.33 and 6.5 from 0.46), but got stopped on $TSLA 365c at 0.55 from 1.04.

Ahead of NVDA earnings, the desk loaded up on proxy plays and META calls. Trader By Instinct closed his META Aug 28 600 calls at $4.05 from $0.88 (half off), then reloaded the risk book with ARM 275C ($0.63), DELL 505C ($0.74), NBIS 240C ($0.85), NOW 130C ($0.98), and MDB 430C ($1.20) as NVDA ER proxies. GP was the busiest — grabbed META 8/28 600C at $1.40, layered TSLA calls (360/380/350) and later 340/342.5 puts, plus SPX 7675/7690/7700/7800 lottos and a QQQ 10/16 780C at $1.91. He trimmed pieces at $1.80, $0.83, $3.45, $2.58, and $2.80 for solid scalps.

Random Trader trimmed META 590C at $7 and META 585C at $5 from $0.47 for the trade of the day, then stayed active with TSLA 350/355/375/395 loto calls, a MU 1060C ($0.76) and GLW 165C/180C as NVDA proxies, plus SPCX 150C/165C, BABA 128C, NOW 135C and NET 305C superlotos.

Monday brought a heavy call-buying day across the trade channels. Trader By Instinct stacked entries in SNDK Aug 28 1750c (1.90), SOLT Sep 70c (1.90), BMNR Sep 30c (0.73), MSTR Sep 170c (1.48), and META Aug 28 600c (0.88). GP ran a busy tape with META 8/26 590c (.70) and 575c (1.71), TSLA 8/26 365c (.77), MU 8/26 975c (2.11) and 1000c (.45 half size), QQQ 713c/711c, SPX 7690c and 7685c plus a 7660p strangle (.40 in, sold .60), MSFT 8/26 495c (1.02), TLT Jan 2027 90c (.55), an Oct 16 450c (3.10), MSTR 8/28 145c (.48), and AAPL 8/28 315c (.99).

GP booked wins along the way — tripling up on a .22 add, scaling out at 9.05, then trimming halves at 17.44 and 17.63 while keeping runners. Not every ticket worked: AAPL 315c was cut at .45. Random Trader joined with small-size shots in MU 1025c (.60) and 985c (1.85), MSFT 500c (.49), SHOP Sep4 175c (.45) and 165c (.34), META 590c (.48, added .21), NVDA Aug28 240c (.58) as an ER play, TSLA 370c (.43) and 392.5c (.26 superloto), plus COIN Sep4 240c (.38) and a TLT Mar 100c (.24) starter for the breakout thesis.

Trader By Instinct rang the register across a stack of crypto-adjacent calls, scaling out of MSTR Aug 28 120C from 1.5 up to 7.75, BITX Sep 11C from 2.42 to 7.45, ETHU Sep 13C from 2.9 to 14.5, and SOLT Sep 50C from 2.25 to 7.8. He also trimmed BMNR Aug 28 24C from 0.31 to 1.5/1.35 and booked partials on BMNR Sep 26C and MSTR Sep 175C, flagging BTC's weekly 50 SMA and ETH 2500/2650 as key reeval levels.

GP stayed hyperactive on TSLA, QQQ, MU and SPX day-trade calls, notably flipping TSLA 360C from .44 to 2.11/3.55 and MU 915C from 1.12 to 1.99/2.1, while smaller QQQ/TSLA lotto attempts scratched at .6. Random Trader worked both sides of TSLA around 350, scaling out of 350P from .13 up to 1.77 and 1.61, trimming META 560C from .34 to 1.36 and 1.04, with a couple of small TSLA put stops mixed in.

A wild session across the desks. Random Trader absolutely printed on $COIN 170c bought at .28, trimming in stages at 12.25, 18, and 21 before rotating up into 190/195 strikes. He stayed busy scalping TSLA — riding 355c from .38 out at 7, 9.5, and 10 — and layered small lottos in NVDA, FSLR, MDB, AAOI, and MU.

GP worked a heavy rotation of index and single-name calls (SPX 7700, QQQ 717/715, MSFT 530, META 650, BABA Oct 140 & Dec 150, MU, COIN, ORCL, AAOI) plus TSLA puts as a hedge, taking scaled exits including a QQQ 717 tripling up at .46 and a remaining sale at 12.6. Trader By Instinct closed a partial MSTR AUG 28 120c at 6.55 from 1.5 and opened swing calls in HIMS, CRCL, BMNR, MSTR, plus a self-declared birthday TSLA lotto.

Trader By Instinct rang the register across the crypto complex, trimming remaining pieces of COIN Aug 175 calls at 1.60 (from 0.24), ETHU Sep 13 calls at 10.20 (from 2.90), BITX Sep 11 calls at 4.30 (from 2.42), BMNR Aug 18 calls at 3.10 (from 1.90), and CRCL Aug 28 80 calls at 2.50 (from 1.50). He rolled fresh exposure into next Friday with new BTOs on CRCL 100c, BMNR 24c, COIN 215c, MSTR 140c, and SOLT Sep 50c.

GP stayed active in both directions, scoring on TSLA 8/24 360 calls (1.03 → out in pieces at 3.70 and 4.80) and QQQ 8/20 717 calls (0.50 → 5.20/6.10). He also worked SPX 7635 puts (0.35, averaged down at 0.10, out rest at 4) and added swings in META, ORCL, ASTS (including March 2027 100c), RKLB, IBIT, and MSTR. Random Trader rode COIN 170c from 0.28, trimming 20% at 3.15 and another 40% near 4.20 avg, while stacking MU 1030c and META 570c lotto-style adds.

Trader By Instinct ran a scaling exit clinic, trimming a stack of winners: BMNR Aug 20 calls from 0.22 to 0.78 and later 1.00, MSTR Aug 105s from 1.02 to 2.05 then 2.80, COIN Aug 175s from 0.24 up to 0.58 and 1.60, NOW Aug 125s from 2.35 to 4.30, CRCL Aug 28 80s from 1.50 to 4.10, plus BMNR Aug 18s (1.90→2.80), BITX Sep 11s (2.42→3.10), and ETHU Sep 13s (2.90→6.50).

GP stayed busy with index and mega-cap lottos — SPX 7780/7735/7800/7870 calls, QQQ 720/718/728, TSLA 345/350/352.5, META 555/590, MSFT 505/485, MU 1050/970/945/940, INTC 98, ORCL 150, GOOGL 355, COIN 180 — with partial exits including a 1/3 out at 2.35, some at 4.43, and one MU stopped at 0.58. Random Trader worked lottos too, with a clean TSLA 350c ride from 0.18 to 0.50 and 1.00, alongside adds in META, NFLX, NVDA, RBLX, MU and COIN.

GP stayed active across index and single names, scaling out of an earlier position at 10.45, 16.6, 20 and 17.4 before rotating into fresh SPX call lotto plays (7730, 7750, 7710, 7780). Single-name entries included MU 1000c at 1.80, MSTR 8/28 110c at 0.80, TSLA 345c at 1.07, NVDA 225c at 1.07 and INTC 98c at 0.67. A SPX 7710 call trade worked well — trimmed half at 1.70 and the rest at 2.35 — while ASTS 70c and a TSLA 315p were stopped at 0.9 and 0.6. GP also flipped a small SNDK 1900c from 3.80 to 4.20.

Random Trader faded the chop with small hedged plays, taking COIN 170c at 0.28, TEAM 175c at 0.9, and paired META 530p/575c lottos that both stopped (0.19 and 0.22). NVDA 225c at 0.26 also stopped at 0.19. He joined GP on MU 1000c at 1.02 off a double bottom and added a FSLR 237.5c superlotto at 0.38.

A call-heavy session across the trade channels. Trader By Instinct rattled off a lineup of BTOs including MU 1035C @0.57, AAOI 200C @0.77, SNDK 2250C @2.25, CRWV 115C @1.48, MSFT 500C @0.20, AMZN 267.5C @0.40, BMNR 20C @0.22, COIN 175C @0.24 and MSTR 105C @1.02. GP was active with SPX 7800C @1.85 and SPX 7780C @2.80, META plays across 572.5/580/585/610 strikes, QQQ 750C @0.47, ORCL 160C @0.68, TSLA 345C @0.20 and 8/19 350C @1.17, MSFT 482.5C @0.30, COIN 170C @0.39, IGV 105C @0.35, SLV 62C @0.32, plus a small MU 920 put feeler @2.66 and MU 1005P @0.35.

GP managed trims along the way — sold half of one runner at 0.68 then another 1/4 at 1.16, and scaled most of another at 1.15 from 0.30. Random Trader stayed small and lotto-focused with NVDA 230C, NFLX 80C, META 570/582.5/600C, DOCN 155C, MU 1035C and W 8/28 120C — but the standout was TSLA 340C sold at 3.00 from 0.55, then rolled up into TSLA 342.5C @0.16 as an EOD superloto.

GP stayed active across indices and mega caps, opening QQQ 8/17 735c at .82, adding a half-size QQQ 8/28 750c at 2.77, and layering into TSLA 8/17 370c at .26 and 345c at .30. He scaled out of an earlier runner in tranches at .9, 2, and 2.10, and trimmed another position at .34 after adding at .18. Later entries included AMD 510c/515c, MSFT 520c and 497.5c, NOW 133c at 1.21, GLD 8/28 420c at 1.45, and a longer-dated ORCL 10/16 200c at 3.80. One name got stopped at 1.72.

Random Trader worked TSLA hard, scaling out of 345c at 4 from .37 before the rest stopped at 1.45, then getting chopped up on 347.5c (.35→.22) and 342.5c (.45→.25). The bright spot was MU: 975c at .32 came off in halves at .8 and 1.2. He also floated superlotos on META 600c, FSLR 235c/270c, NVDA 227.5c, MU 1050c, and BE 262.5c, plus small starters in META 630c, CRWV 115c, AAOI 155c/200c, and BE 257.5c.

Trader By Instinct locked in a trio of standout August call closes: IREN 47C trimmed 3/4 at 3.10 from 0.94, ORCL 160C half out at 4.80 from 2.00, and NOW 125C 3/4 out at 6.85 from 2.35. GP stayed active across the tape, scoring on TSLA 8/21 370C (0.50 → 2.95/1.83), QQQ 740C (0.43 → 2.95), TSLA 350C (0.15 → 0.90), and scaling out of AMD 510C (1.23 → up to 3.15) plus ORCL 160C (0.50 → 4.80). Multiple SPX day-trades and a META 610C partial at cost rounded out the session.

Random Trader worked a loto-heavy book with small starters in NVDA 230C, META 610C, BE 265C/280C, TSLA 370C/345C, CAVA 80C, MU 1050C, SHOP 160C, COIN 162.5C/190C, AAOI 165C, and TEAM 175C, and trimmed 20% of the TSLA 345C at 1.13 from 0.37.

GP stayed active across mega-cap tech, opening TSLA calls at multiple strikes (325, 327.5, 330, 335, 340) and trimming several for gains — including a TSLA 325 call bought at 1.29 exited at 1.73, and a TSLA 330 call scaled out at 1.75 and 2.09. GP also worked META 8/14 620 calls at .42, MSFT 8/14 500 calls at 1.4 (out 1/3 at 1.28, 1/2 at 1.42, stopped rest at 1.12), and rotated through SPX, GOOGL, INTC, CRCL, ORCL, and QQQ setups.

Random Trader ran a lotto-heavy book with small-size META 597.5, 592.5, and 585 calls plus an AUG14 620 join alongside GP. Also opened DOCN 148c and an AUG 175c superlotto, MSFT 500c, AAOI 165c, and a TSLA 327.5c that was stopped out at .35 from .33.

GP stayed active across index and mega-cap names, opening SPX 7780 calls at 2.4 and scaling out in pieces at 3.9 and 5.05 for a clean winner. He also entered META 8/12 610 calls at 1.29 and later rolled to the 620 strike for .57, then trimmed 1/5 at 1.76 before closing the rest at 1.72. AMD calls at 1.15 were rolled profit-only into 8/12 500s at .48 to let a free trade ride. Not everything worked — SPCX 140 calls were cut at 2.1, and additional SPX and QQQ lottos were closed at 1.63 and .75. Fresh adds included ORCL 8/14 160s, HD 365s (averaged down at .4), a GLD 8/21 440 lotto, TSLA 8/12 340s and 360s.

Random Trader kept size small across a basket of short-dated calls: NVDA Aug14 235c at .3, NVDA Aug12 225c at .52 (and a re-add at .32 to reclaim green), TSLA Aug12 345c at .52, and META Aug12 620c at .58.
