GP stayed busy on both sides of the tape, opening SMH 11/20 530 calls at 2.44, SPX 7500 calls at 2.40, and adding MU 11/9 800 calls at .52, plus TSLA 4/13 400 calls at 1.04 and NVDA 192.5 calls at .19. Hedges came on via SPX 7350 puts at 4 (scaled out 1/3 at 11), TSLA 350 puts at .34 and later SPX 7200 11/9 puts at 6. An ORCL 115 call lotto at .36 was trimmed half at .87 before the rest stopped at .60, while a TSLA 365 call at .25 scaled out 1/5 at .37 and another 1/5 at .60. GP also noted dislike for the afternoon price action and asked about TQQQ put weekend decay.
Random Trader leaned into superlotos across the board — TEM 77c at .25, MU 740c at .50 (added at .20), NOW 105c at .19, AMZN 267.5c at .14, TSLA 370c/365c, ZS 210c at .20 and FSLR 11/13 235c at .20. The clean win: MU 650 puts opened at .60 with one trimmed at 3.40. He also added META 635c (.60 then .24) and scaled out more FSLR 205c at 3, down to a 50% position.
