[August 19th US Stock Options Leaderboard]

📌 $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Call trades at the top, mainly due to covered call selling, with net sales exceeding $100 million, and there was also a large order of $111 million for the 9/25 160C. Ahead of the earnings report (8/27), funds chose to hedge first.
👉 Strategy: Defensive before the earnings report, can create a bearish Call spread (buy 190C / sell 180–185C), or holders can sell 185–190C for coverage.

📌 $Tesla(TSLA)$ Call net sell $6.6M, Put net buy $7.8M, bearish outlook. The stock price closed at 329.31 (-1.8%), affected by the negative impact of the "FSD misleading" class action lawsuit.
👉 Strategy: Conservatives can use a collar (sell 350C / buy 310–315P); bearish traders can do a diagonal Put (buy long-term 300P, sell short-term 315–320P).

📌 $Strategy(MSTR)$ Transaction polarizes, Put ~$43.23 million, Call ~$25 million, funds hedge on one side while bottom fishing. However, the stock price still plummeted to 336.57 (-7.4%), following the adjustment of crypto assets.
👉 Strategy: When volatility is high and direction is unclear, you can use straddles/strangles to bet on momentum, or use iron condors to collect premiums in the 300–380 range.
