* in December 2021, I had the good fortune to execute relatively large order fills during an evening extended hours session on a day that NVDA and the semi names had been on a tear throughout that entire day... and the upward tear continued to take prices much, much higher during the evening AH session.
The Ask price where my visible order sat and was filled to initiate a short position in extended hours was the highest price printed during the 4 hours of the evening extended hours session, and the highest price seen for the remainder of December 2021.
a memorable entry for shorting NVDA for a multi-week hold, though we all know it is the trade exit timing which is 90% of the work, so that we do not exit trades too early or too late.

* the most recent sell short timing for a multi-day hold was a relatively simple timing decision for the actual trade entry, and at the time I believed & posted at AJ's board that once $850 horizontal was violated from above, 700 to 750 could potentially be seen ...
now I continue to wonder if 500 to 570 will eventually be tested from above, once 600's are taken out
1228 is a key horizontal level, I have locked in my memory from earlier trade decisions, when entering short months ago and posting in real-time at AJ's board the initiating short exposure ( extended after hours pricing not necessarily reflected in the day session charts )
* opportunities to earn profit trading TSLA whether long or short direction must be evaluated by comparing with oppt'y trading other symbols instead
( opportunity cost of Buying Power being committed is an important criteria for what to trade vs. trading other symbols known to the investor / trader )
