Which Strategy Fits?

Answer a couple of plain questions about TSLA (spot $420) and this points you to one beginner strategy that fits, chosen only from the defined, capped-risk strategies this site teaches. No naked selling. This is a learning starting point, not a recommendation to trade.

Plain EnglishPick your view, whether you own the shares, and how much capital you have, and this points you to the one beginner strategy that fits, each with its risk capped and defined; it is a learning starting point, not a trade recommendation.
Three things this selector is teaching:
  1. Your view, your shares, and your capital decide the strategy. Whether you are bullish, neutral, or bearish, whether you already hold 100 shares, and how much cash you can commit narrows six strategies down to the one that fits- and on a $420 stock, the share-based plays (covered call, cash-secured put, protective put) each need roughly $42,000.
  2. Every strategy here has a capped, defined max loss. None of these can lose more than a known amount up front, because there is no naked selling anywhere in this set.
  3. A match is a place to start learning, not a trade to place. The selector points you to the right tool to study the payoff; it is education, not financial advice or a recommendation to trade.

Taxes are not shown here. Options and the underlying stock are taxed differently, and it depends on your holding period and account type. None of this is tax advice.
