TSLA 410c - 750% Gain

This case study walks through the TSLA 410 calls that ran over 750% - and how three Trade Echo tools flagged this setup before the market even opened. This is the power of stacking edges.

Three-Edge Setup​

Dealer Edge - Pre-Open Gamma Setup​

In Dealer Edge, the TSLA view showed:

  • Gamma Anchor at 410 (where the most gamma is concentrated)
  • Flip Level at 401 (dividing line between positive and negative gamma)
  • Dealer Bias 4/5 short gamma - if price starts moving, dealers have to chase it

Price sat pre-open around 398, just below the flip at 401. The setup: if TSLA reclaims 401, dealers start buying to hedge, opening the path toward the 410 anchor. Below 397.5, negative gamma takes over and downside volatility expands.

The AI analysis confirmed a bullish outlook - significant call gamma at the 410 strike indicating strong support, with buyers likely to defend that level.

News Edge - China Sales Catalyst​

In News Edge, a search for TSLA surfaced the catalyst: China news showing TSLA sales are up. With dealer positioning pointing to 410 as the magnet, a 4/5 short gamma bias ready to amplify any move up, and a fundamental reason for buyers to step in - that's when you pay close attention.

Algo Edge - Institutional Flow at Prior Close​

In Algo Edge, filtering for TSLA revealed:

  • 279 large trades totaling over $550 million in premium at yesterday's close
  • Flow heavily skewed to calls

Key blocks:

  • TSLA 455 calls - 1,408 contracts, over $10M (deep OTM)
  • TSLA 410 calls - 1,408 contracts, over $10.5M (right at the Gamma Anchor)
  • TSLA 430 calls - 1,005 contracts
  • 600 calls - 5,400 contracts across multiple expirations at over $2.4M each

Institutional positioning. Smart money was loading up on TSLA calls right at the close, ahead of today's move.

Chart - Explosive Move Off Open​

On the 1-hour chart: descending trendline from the highs, with a trigger level at 400 (aligned with the Dealer Edge flip zone at 401). Everything below that trigger is negative gamma territory. Everything above it opens the door to the 410 anchor.

Price pushed through 400, cleared the trigger, and ran straight into the 410 Gamma Anchor. First lock-in at 410. Then continued to 415. The Dealer Edge levels played out perfectly - 400 acted as the trigger, 410 acted as the magnet, and the short gamma squeeze carried it through.

Execution​

The 410 calls ran over 750%. Three Trade Echo tools flagged the setup before the bell. The chart delivered exactly what they said it would.
