Yes, 950 was still possible!

Short
NASDAQ:TSLA   Tesla

Quick summary.

Beginning of April: bought TSLA 04/29/22 Put 1030 and TSLA 05/20/22 Put 975.

I was in that short position since price went through 1110.

Believed in tp 950 or below. Many doubts though. Wanted to get out many times. But did not, meaning I did not use a stop loss and took full risk.

Closed on April 20 the 1030 put with 65% profit.

And yesterday, April 26 the 975 put with 160% profit.

Patience was very important!

Question: should I have used a stop loss in that scenario because of the volatility of the price and the significant theta decay?
