Another Pair of Options Bangers, Fresh Plays

Big Time Options Runners:

Yesterday was a very interesting day on the markets, as the Fed Meeting predictably threw an element of extreme volatility into the mix that typically helps swing traders such as ourselves and most of our readers. The activity sent the SPY 09/21 $386-385 Puts, which we signaled for observation on Tuesday morning, into an absolute frenzy of multibag movement.

We also had signaled a longer-term set of calls in the GIS 10/21 $77.50-80 Calls, yesterday morning, and General Mills bucked the trend so heavily that we didn’t even have to wait days or weeks for the idea to mature, as is often the case with our signals that have expiration dates weeks or months into the future. Those too made excellent moves during what turned out to be a very exciting trading day.

1800% Options Runner & More

Recap of Tuesday’s Plays:

With yesterday morning’s premarket report, it marked at least the third straight session where targets in the SPY chain have been our primary focus. We have been inclined to take the bearish path over this span, and have been rewarded for our efforts each and every day.

Yesterday we had zeroed in on the SPY 09/21 $386-385 Puts, and another of our potential plays, the APOG 10/21 $40-45 Calls also recorded some really good activity for us, including an absolutely mind-bending 1800% runner! Congratulations are most definitely in order for anyone who able to identify and take advantage of that massive mover.

Looking to the SPY Amid Earnings Drought

Leaning on the SPY:

We started off the fresh trading week yesterday on fairly decent footing. We formulated a batch of three options ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, a couple of quick-strike plays and a longer-term idea. Both of the near-term targets looked pretty good for us on the day.

Those plays were the SPY 09/19 $385-383 Puts and the TTWO Weekly $119-121 Calls , with the latter producing larger gain opportunities by a fairly large margin as you can see here. We’re going to stick with the strategy of going bearish on the SPY once again today with a fresh target range that you can find below. We may find ourselves looking to the SPY more and more as the present earnings dry period persists.

SPY 09/19 $385-383 Puts
$385: .70-2.00 (+186%)
$384: .50-1.46 (+192%)
