Kicking the Tires on a Fresh Trading Week

Friday’s Options Runners:

We hope everyone enjoyed the last long weekend until the holidays, and is as ready as we are to hop back into trading action. We ended last week on a fairly positive note, having selected three potential options targets for observation and observing considerable gains in each of them. We are now seeing a considerable drop-off in daily reporters after what was an amazing earning season, but as always, we’ll seek out opportunities and make them work for us!

Our targets from Friday morning’s premarket report worked for us, and they were the AVGO Weekly $495-510 Calls, the LULU Weekly $315-322.50 Calls, and the HCP 09/16 $35-40 Calls. The LULU targets in the low end of the range were our biggest winners of the session, making moves that topped 300%

Yesterday’s Hitters, Today’s New Ideas

Tuesday’s Big Plays:

Things continued to go rather well for us on the options trading front yesterday. We stick our necks out to come up with quality trading ideas on a daily basis, and while it can sometimes prove challenging, we always seem to get the job done in respectable fashion. Of course it helps significantly that the markets have been especially volatile, as they have been this earnings season, to ratchet up the opportunities for daytraders. We hit on three out of the four ideas in which we were interested.

The potential plays we targeted in yesterday morning’s premarket report that went on to record big gains were the UBER Weekly $26.50-27.50 Calls, the MAR Weekly $160-162.50 Calls, and the CAT Weekly $192.50-187.50 Puts. Lets have a look at the type of intraday movement they provided for us during yesterday’s session.
