Option Profit Calculator Results for TSLA Calendar Spread at 29-Nov-24 Expiration
In this scenario, the optimal stock price for the option strategy would be $300.00 on the date of the first expiration, November 29, 2024. This is equal to the strike price of the options in the spread. Since TSLA is in a technical uptrend currently, and the strikes are above the current stock price of $261.85, the spread is taking advantage of the stock's upward momentum. If the stock price is $300.00 at expiration, we can benefit from the 29-Nov-24 call, which we sold, expiring worthless, and the option that we are long, the 20-Dec-24 call, will still have time premium built in.
Since we do now know what the exact implied volatility will be on November 29, we can use our historical data to make an educated estimate to help us calculate the value of the 20-Dec-24 option. Applying the median historical implied volatility of 53.2 from similar options, the theoretical value of the call is 15.84 at the date of the 29-Nov-24 expiration. Using the above assumptions gives us a potential upside of +373% for this calendar spread.
