  • Random Trader trimmed FSLR 205c at 3, cut position to 50%

  • GP's ORCL 115c lotto: half at .87, rest stopped at .60 from .36
  • GP loaded SPX 7200 11/9 puts at 6 as he disliked the tape

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.

Thu, Nov 5Nov 5 Recap: SPX Scalps, Superlotos, and a Volatile Tape

A choppy session had the mods leaning both sides of the tape.

GP was the most active, scaling into same-day SPX 7750 calls at 2.80 and trimming in fifths at 22, 28, 47, 61 and 55 for a big winner, then rotating through SPX 7600, 7550, 7500 strikes, GOOGL 295c/300c, TSLA 370c/360c, SMH 485c (added at .79), MU 825c, ORCL 120c, NVDA 192.5c, SPY 740c (out 1.98/1.91), and a Jan 2027 SPX 8000 call starter. Not everything worked — GP stopped CRWV, AMD, and a late 7600 call for losses, and flipped bearish with SPX 7330 puts, taking 1/3 at 6 before stopping the rest at 4.

Random Trader booked wins trimming AMZN 265c at 7.27 and 5, and NFLX 65c at 2 (from .20) and 1.33, then rolled into a wide superloto bench: FSLR 220c/210c, MU 800c and NOV9 850c, W 125c, MSFT 560c, ZS 230c and NOV13 255c, META 650c on an early turn, AMZN NOV9 280c, COIN 150c, and CRWV 50c.

He also closed USO 11/20 130 puts at .67 and SPX 7200 11/6 'disaster puts' at 1.15, while opening fresh positions in ORCL, MSTR, AMZN, MU, NFLX, META, and TSLA calls, plus TSLA 375 puts as a market hedge.

Mon, Nov 2Monday Setup: Mods Load Up on Megacap Calls and Lotto Plays

GP's biggest win came on $NFLX 11/20 65 calls bought at 1.09, scaled out at 2.60 and 2.71. A $TSLA 405 put scalp trimmed from .72 down to .64, and the $ORCL 11/20 140 starter at 1.42 was scaled at 1.65/1.80 before stopping the rest at 1.30. $MU 855 calls were cut at .28 for a small loss. Random Trader stuck to small $META call starters (630c, 665c, 620c, 615c) and tagged EOD superlotos in $TSLA 405c, $MU 850c, and $NFLX Nov13 68c.

Fri, Oct 30Lotto Hunts and Quick Scalps on 10/30

Thu, Oct 29Lottos, Scalps, and FOMC Chop: 10/29 Trade Recap

GP was active across index and single-name calls, scalping SPX 7850s from 1.40 to 1.76 and SPX 7710s from 2.10 to 2.15, while trimming an NVDA 217.5 call starter and taking partials on others. Not everything worked — GP got stopped on ORCL 142s (0.59→0.50), scaled out of a mixed name at 1.45/1.10, and tagged a SPY 773 call for a loss (0.34→0.28). He also loaded fresh swings in AMZN, GOOGL, META, NOW, TSLA, MU, CRWV, and SPCX.

Random Trader stuck to small-size lotto and breakout plays, opening ZS 260c, CRWD 275c, FIG Feb 45c, META 655c and Nov2 685c (200sma reclaim), TSLA 420c, and W 125c on a 52-week-high range breakout.

Wed, Oct 28Mods Ride META, TSLA, and Lotto Calls Into Earnings

GP stayed busy on the chart, trimming META 620c from 1.04 up to 6 for a solid runner, then rotating into 625c (.48 → 5.4) and swing 10/30 640c and 650c positions. TSLA calls paid as well — 405c sold partial at 2.03 (rest a free trade) and 407.5c scaled from .26 to .96. SPX 7780 calls scaled from .75 to multiple exits at 1.85, 2.75, 2.85 and 4.50, while SPCX 146c came off at 1.90 ahead of a binary event. Not everything hit: SPX 7680 puts were cut from .70 to .35.

AMD 580c trimmed at 2.61 before dumping the balance at 1.50, MU 990c scaled out at 1.50 and 1.70 from .47, AVGO 355c came off in pieces at .47 and .70 from a .42/.27 average, and SKHY 170c booked a 1/4 at 1.79. TSLA 405c superloto stopped flat, with fresh AVGO 375c and FSLR 210c earnings lottos still live.

Tue, Oct 27Mods Ride SPX Scalps, META Setups, and Earnings Lottos

GP was active across index and single-name names, taking a full exit on an SPX 7750 call position (closed +100% in an hour at 1.03 from 1.30 cost basis context, with scales at 7.55 and 8.00/8.53/8.70). He stacked META 650/655 calls plus a Dec 800 swing, added TSLA 440s (11/2 and 10/30) and a 415 call for the next session, and layered SPX 7685 puts (stopped at 1.00), 7735, 7740, 7760, and a 10/28 7800 call (out half at 1.50). Other entries included ASTS 44c, SPCX 155c, GLD 385c, HIMS 29c, MU 975c, an AMD 535p hedge, XOM 172.5p (averaged at .25, out at .93), and a SKHY 170c earnings lotto.

Mon, Oct 26Options Flurry: Mods Load Calls Across Megacaps and Semis

GP was active across the board, opening calls on CRWV, META (10/30 680s at 1.45 and 655s at .50), TSLA (multiple weekly strikes), ORCL 145s, INTC, AMD, MU, AVGO 11/20 380s, RKLB, and an SPX 7730 call, plus USO 11/20 140 puts and a TSLA 390 put hedge. Exits were mixed: GP scaled the ORCL 145 calls (1/5 at 4, another 1/5 at 2.90) before getting stopped on the rest at 1.96, trimmed another runner at 3.75 and 1.16 before exiting at 1.38, and took stops at .44, 2, and 1.18 on choppier plays, closing one position at 1.29.

Random Trader leaned small and lotto-sized, chasing TSLA across 400c, 435c, 405c, 395c and NOV6 460c, plus NVDA 217.5c and OCT30 230c, META NOV2 720c and NOV6 750c, AMD 535c, AVGO 332.5c, MU 935c and 920c, AMZN 250c/252.5c, and an AAOI 85c. Many were tagged as superlotos or EOD flyers, reflecting a cautious sizing day.

Fri, Oct 23ZS Steals the Show as Mods Scalp Lotos into Close

Random Trader had the trade of the day in $ZS, trimming the 237.5 calls at $6 and $7.50 from $0.50, then scaling out of the 245 calls from $0.25 at $2.94, $3.00 and $4.27, and the 250s from $0.40 up to $4.40. He also booked wins on OKTA 212.5 calls (out 1/3 at $1.04 from $0.35) and CRWD 255 calls (out at $1.30 and $1.90 from $0.40), while late superlotos in MSFT, META, DELL, AMZN, NOW, MSTR and AMD were sprinkled in.

GP ran a busy day-trade book with mixed results — a quick 1/3 trim on CRWV 55c at $0.70 from $0.43 before the rest stopped out, SPX 7600 put hedge sold near flat at $2.01, and stops hit on TSLA, META and ORCL lotto calls. Trader By Instinct closed MU Oct 23 900 calls at $2.57 from $2.35.

Thu, Oct 22Earnings-Week Lotto Day: Semis, SPX Scalps, and a ZS Monster

GP stayed active intraday with SPX, TSLA, AMD, META, SMH and SPCX call scalps, booking MU 900c from 2.30 to 2.95, trimming a runner at 1.27, and selling half of SPCX 150c at 2.60 before getting stopped on the rest at 1.70 and MU 925c at 0.40; he also closed the remainder of his MSFT Jan 400 calls at 125.9 to protect profits into earnings.

Random Trader leaned fully into superlotos — NFLX 69c, OKTA 220c, MSFT 540c, FSLR 185c, META 700c (joining GP) and tiny META 680c — but the standout was ZS 237.5c, where he sold a third at 5.00 and another third at 3.47 from a 0.50 cost, then rolled profits into ZS 250c at 0.40.

Wed, Oct 21SPX Scalps Shine, ER Lottos Fly on 10/21

GP had an active tape, highlighting an SPX 7730 put entry at .70 that scaled out at 1.4, 3, and 5 after calling a break of levels (gold breaking down as a tell). A META 10/30 800 call starter at 2.7 also worked, scaled out 1.4/2.2/3. Other SPX call attempts and a USO 10/23 150 put lotto were cut small, and GLD, TSLA, ORCL, MSFT, NFLX calls were opened through the session.

Random Trader leaned into 0DTE and earnings super-lottos, opening ZS 237.5c at .50, MSFT 535c at .21, AMZN 265c at .17, and a META OCT23 830c at .52 sized to zero. AMZN stopped flat, MSFT cut at .14, and the META ER lotto is being held overnight as a small worthless-risk shot. Late add: QQQ 728c at .40 for a 15-min flyer.

Tue, Oct 20Mon Recap: SPX Scalps, ER Lotto Hunting

GP was busy on the day, opening calls across $RKLB, $CRWV (10/30 75s @ .73), $SPCX 10/30 180s as a small ER play, $INTC 10/23 100s, $MU 970s, and $AMD 10/21 570s. The standout was an $SPX 7750 call entered at 2.75 that was trimmed half at 2.90 and the rest at 1.45, with profits rolled into 7790 puts @ .60 as a hedge. GP also grabbed $SPX 7740 calls, 7700 puts, and $USO 154 puts, with closes noted at .34 and .51.

Mon, Oct 19AMZN Rip Headlines Monday's Trades

Random Trader rode a textbook AMZN scalp, entering 260 calls at .24 and scaling out in thirds at 1.37, 2.63 and 2.40 before rolling up into 262.5 calls that paid 1.10 on the first third before stopping out the balance at .25. He layered in earnings lotto plays across META, TSLA, NVDA, CRWV, SKHY and FSLR, and closed the session grabbing a small QQQ 703p hedge into Tuesday.

GP stayed busy on the entry side, opening calls on META, SPX, MU (two strikes), GOOGL as a META earnings proxy, AMD and ORCL, and later added QQQ 700 puts for .20. He also booked exits at .65 and 4.00 plus a 1/4 trim at 8.20.

Fri, Oct 16Lotto Calls Pop: TSLA Runners and SPX Scalps Lead the Day

GP stayed busy across indices and megacaps, opening calls on $CRWV, $MU, $COIN, $AMD, $META, $TSLA and an $SPX 7750 call, plus hedging with $TSLA 355 puts and $SPX 7700 puts. One SPX scalp was trimmed 1/3 at 3.3 and the rest at 3.51 from 1.65, and another position was scaled out at .59 and .80, with a doubled-up add at .72 noted on a separate play.

Random Trader leaned into cheap superlotos across $FSLR, $COIN, $ARM, $DELL, $AVGO, $META and $NVDA. The standout: $TSLA 352.5c entered at .44 (with a .35 add noted) ran hard — trimmed 1/3 at 2, another 1/3 at 2.5, and the balance at 2.

Thu, Oct 15OPEX Day: Mods Load Calls Across Semis, AI and TSLA

Heavy call-buying day across the TRADE channels as mods leaned into semis, AI names and a stretched TSLA. Trader By Instinct built a broad book — Oct short-dated calls in AAOI, SNDK, RKLB, SMH, COHR, INTC and CRWV, plus a big slate of Jan 2027 LEAPS (AAOI, CRWV, ASTS, SNDK, SOXL, COHR, INTC), Jan 2029 calls in MSTR, ETHU and BMNR, and a TSLA Dec 500 call starter. The one closeout flagged: CRWV Oct 67C trimmed from 0.56 to 1.80 on half.

GP was the most active, cycling in and out of SPX, TSLA, META, MU, CRWV, INTC, ORCL, AMD, SNDK and MSFT. Winners included SPX 7810C 2.2→multi-exits, TSLA 10/19 390C 0.56→1.75/2.75, CRWV Dec 100C 1.65→up to 4.3, META 750C 1.65→2, and SNDK 1500C 2.2→4.6+. Not everything worked — INTC 97C averaged down and bailed near breakeven, and AMD 575C was rolled up to 590C then cut at 1.31/1.41. Random Trader stuck to small/superlotto starters across W, META, ARM, TLT, NFLX, NOW, BROS, CRWV, DELL, SKHY, COIN, SHOP, RBLX and AAOI, and closed MU 810P at 1.80.

Wed, Oct 14Lottos Fly as Mods Load Earnings Plays

GP was busy across the tape, opening calls on $MU 975s at 1, $SPX 7785s at 2.10, $META 755s (.87) and 780s (.57), $MSFT 542.5s (.28) and 10/23 560s (1.10), $COIN Nov 200s at 6.70 plus 185s (.89), $NVDA 10/16 230s (.57), $SPY 10/16 778s (.53) and 10/15 775s (.39), $AMD 10/16 610s (1.58), $INTC 102s (.32) and 10/16 105s (.43), and a $TSM 465 earnings lotto at .50. On the hedge side GP grabbed $XOM 172.5 puts (.66), $USO 10/16 150 puts (.67), $MU 800 puts (.64), and $TSLA 362.5 puts (.19) with 360 lotto adds at .08. Exits included trims at .50 and .55.

Random Trader stayed small and lotto-heavy: $NVDA 227.5c @ .41, $TEM 75c @ .49, $META 760c @ .35, and $FSLR 190c @ .30. On the put side he loaded $MU 910p at .65 and .50 plus a 895p superlotto at .31, ultimately cutting the 910p at .70 calling it 'trash.'

Tue, Oct 13MU Mania, Lottos, and Fast Flips

GP stayed busy across tech and indices, opening MU 10/14 1010 calls at .98, MU 10/16 945 calls at 19.80 (closed 22.61), and running it back with MU 10/16 970 calls at 10. He also played NFLX Jan 2027 85 calls at 1.62, ORCL 150 calls at .76, SPX 7815 calls at .65 (out .68) and 7820 lottos at .40, plus TSLA 10/14 380 calls at 1.11 and META 10/14 790 calls at .91 (half out 1.30, rest .90). On the hedging side, GP grabbed USO 10/30 140 puts at 1.48, USO 149 10/14 lotto puts at .38 (out .66), BABA, GLD, AMZN, and SKHY calls (SKHY stopped at 1.5), and finished with QQQ 10/14 732 disaster puts at .35.

Random Trader leaned into super-lottos: AVGO Oct 385c at .37 on a constructive back test, ORCL 155c at .29, and built a MU put position with the 860p at .64, Oct16 810p at .65, and 880p at .68, treating them as lottos into a potential 50sma reclaim.

Mon, Oct 12Monday Lotto Barrage: META Prints, SPX Scalps, and MU Dice Rolls

GP was busy on the tape, loading up directional calls across TSLA 380s (.70), NFLX Mar '27 90s (2.27), ASTS 60s (.38), MU 1020s (.58), META 755s (.58), NVDA 10/16 235s (.59), META 10/16 800s (1.29), SLV 10/30 60s (.29), INTC 105s (.56) and 110s (.37), and CRCL 10/16 90s (.63). He also worked SPX actively — selling 1/4 of a 7810 call runner at 1.03 from 2.05, scalping a 7790 put from .65 to .80, trimming a 7810 add from .20 back out at .65, and taking another stab at 7880s.

Random Trader leaned into lottos, highlighted by META 755c which he trimmed 1/4 at 2.50 from a .58 avg — a clean multi-bagger. He also played FSLR 195/202.5 calls, META 765c and 10/14 795c, COIN 210c on the 200sma reclaim, TSLA 380c, and a basket of EOD MU 980p / 995c / 1005c and NVDA 227.5c superlotos.

Fri, Oct 9Scalps, Superlotos, and a ZS Rip

Trader By Instinct booked a string of same-day call wins, trimming halves on $BITX 18.5c (0.33→0.66, then 0.75), $MSTR 157.5c (0.43→1.38), $ETHU 25.5c (0.30→0.60), and $AAOI 112c (0.75→1.10 then 1.55), before letting the remaining AAOI runners fade to 0.55 and ETHU scratch at 0.30. Entries were busy across the board — GP layered into $SPX, $TSLA, $COIN, $INTC, $MU, $SNDK, $ASTS, $META, and $GLD calls, scaling out partials on a couple (1/4s at 1.83 and 0.68, a 1/3 at 3.10) and admitting a sigh-worthy exit at 2.50 on another runner, while adding Dec $META 900c at 7.10 and Dec $GLD 420c at 4.65 as longer swings.

Random Trader had the standout of the day on $ZS 227.5c, scaling from 0.35 up to 1.50, 3.80, and 3.06 — a clean multi-bagger. He also trimmed $MSFT 535c from 0.32 to 2.00 and 1.40, then rolled up into 537.5c and 540c superlotos for EOD. Smaller superloto chases on $AMZN, $OKTA, $ZS 232.5c and others were cut for scratches or small losses.

Thu, Oct 8Friday Lottos & Loaded Calls: Mods Swing for the Fences

Wednesday's trade channels were heavy on short-dated call plays as the mods set up for Friday expiration.

Random Trader leaned into superlotos, building a $SKHY ladder (210c @ 0.56 starter, plus 182.5c and 190c tickets) on an IPO flush-then-run thesis targeting 240 in the coming weeks. He also layered $AVGO 385c/392.5c, $FSLR 185c/190c/210c, $MSFT 535c, $MSTR 160c, and a $META 755c, along with a small $TSLA 355p hedge. No exits were posted — these are all opens.

Trader By Instinct had a monster day scaling out of AAOI OCT 9 130 calls — trimming at 4.2, 6.85, and 7.8 from a 0.95 cost basis — while also closing partials on MSFT (1.8 from 0.54), CRCL (1.77 from 0.81), and BITX (0.7 from 0.32).

Mon, Oct 5Mods Scalp MSFT & TSLA Lottos as Options Fly

Monday brought a flurry of short-dated call buys across mega-caps, with Trader By Instinct booking the day's cleanest win — scaling out of MSFT Oct 5 525 calls at 3.1 and 3.2 from 0.69. He stayed busy adding fresh longs in META, MSFT, NVDA, AAOI and HIMS weeklies. GP ran a heavy book of SPX, TSLA, MU, ASTS, COIN, IBIT and USO plays, trimming in quarters along the way (exits at 1.65, 1.35, 2.2, and a last 1/4 at 4) while also layering SPX 7760 puts as protection.

Random Trader leaned into 'superlotos' across MSFT, META, TSLA, AVGO, NOW, ORCL and AMZN. The TSLA 380c from .25 scaled out at 1.5 (30%) and .65 (balance) before he re-entered at .3 into the close, and MSFT 527.5c flipped from .54 to 1.35 same session.

Fri, Oct 2Oct 2: Mods Ride Earnings Movers and Chase EOD Lotos

Trader By Instinct booked a trio of winners on the open, closing LITE Oct 2 1120Cs from 1.65 to 1.0... wait — selling into strength: LITE from 1.65, COHR 335Cs from 1.25 to 2.10, and AAOI 115Cs from 0.42 to 1.20. He then rotated into a basket of crypto-adjacent weeklies (ETHU, BITX, MSTR, CRCL, COIN) plus MSFT 525Cs for 0.69.

GP was the most active, cycling through MSFT, META, TSLA, COIN, GOOGL, NOW, SKHY and multiple SPX strikes while scaling out of winners in quarters and fifths (prints at 4.50, 6, 8.5, 12.5, 5.05).

Thu, Oct 1Mods Chase Breakouts as SPX Grinds Higher

Wednesday was a busy session across the trade channels, with mods leaning long into tech and index names as SPX churned around the 50sma. Trader By Instinct laid out an aggressive call lineup including MU 1200s, SNDK 2200s, AAOI 115 and 130 lottos, COIN 215s, MSTR 185s, COHR 335 lottos and LITE 1120s. GP was active in SPX and QQQ scalps, adding META, MU, INTC, COIN, TSLA, ORCL, GOOGL, AMD and SKHY calls, trimming a META runner from 1.14 and scaling out of a position in quarters at 3.4, 7, 9.10 and 14.5 — plus a TSLA 375c scaled from .5 up to 1.51 and SKHY 195c trimmed to 1.58.

Random Trader worked a basket of 'superloto' setups — TSLA 390s, NVDA 245/235s, COIN 205/250s, BABA 112s, FSLR 180/175s, AAOI, SKHY, SMCI, NKE and ORCL — and nailed an SPX 7690c trip from .95 to 5, re-entered twice (@1 and .8), scaled another 1/4 at 5, then bought back at .35 as a lotto. He also took 30% off NOW 140c at 1.1 and SKHY 195c at 1.6 from .29.

Wed, Sep 30EOQ Lotto Frenzy: MSFT Puts and TSLA Calls Deliver

A busy end-of-quarter session saw mods leaning heavily into short-dated lottos across mega-caps and indexes. Trader By Instinct closed MSFT Sep 30 520 calls at 1.01 from 0.86. GP was highly active, scaling in and out of SPX, TSLA, META, MSFT, COIN, GLD, RKLB, CRWV, INTC and NVDA calls with mixed results — winners on SPX 7900 calls (out 1/2 at 1.45, rest at 2.15 from .70) and SKHY (1/4 at 1.76 from .47), balanced by stopouts on RKLB, COIN, GLD and CRWV.

Random Trader framed the day as EOQ superlotos and hit big on the last-10-minute moves: MSFT 515p bought at .29 exited at 2.50 and 2.17, TSLA 352.5c from .38 out at 1.70, and NVDA 230p from .22 out at 1.00. MU 10/9 1400c into ER remained a high-risk overnight hold.

Tue, Sep 29Mods Load Calls Across Mega Caps as SPX, NOW Headline Monday's Action

Monday brought a heavy call-buying tape across the mod desks. GP was the busiest, opening SPX 7680/7690/7710 calls, TSLA 10/5 375s at 1.43, META 9/30 750s and 765s, NOW 10/2 140s and 10/16 150s, plus ORCL, NVDA, QQQ, TLT, MSTR, GOOGL and SPY lottos. He scaled out of one runner in quarters at 3, 4.50, 5.30 and 5.70, and flipped MSFT 9/30 520 calls from .76 to .91/.96. Trader By Instinct opened the day with SPX 9/29 7720 calls at 2.0 and MSFT 9/30 520 calls at .86.

Random Trader spread bets across BE, OKTA, ARM (as an MU proxy), ORCL, CRWV, NVDA, MSFT, META, NOW, DOCN and AMZN, mostly small and superlotto sizing. META gave him trouble — stopped out of the 760c at .28 and the 755c at .4 — but he kept re-entering with the OCT2 785c and 770c superlotto, plus a META 710p as a hedge "tribute to the market gods."

Mon, Sep 28Mods Load Calls Into a Busy Session

GP ran the tape hardest, layering SPX, TSLA, META, MSFT, ASTS and MU calls through the day. A standout: after tripling up at .22, GP scaled out in quarters at 5, 8.7 and 20.70 — a clean, staged exit. GP also worked a META 10/2 780 call from 1.39, trimming 1/3 at 4.5 and closing the rest at 13.70.

Trader By Instinct opened the day with SPX Sep 28 7730 calls at 1.8. Random Trader stayed active with small, tight-leash setups across META (multiple strikes from .59–.82), NVDA, TSLA, FSLR, DDOG, MSFT and MU, including a stop on NVDA Oct2 245c at .17 from .55 and a late-day sprinkle of superlottos on NVDA 232.5c, TSLA 360c, MSFT 515c and MU 1060c.
