Wednesday’s Big Movers, 5 Fresh Ideas

Another Awesome Trading Day:

Yesterday morning’s premarket report couldn’t have gone off much better for us, with every single idea we floated turning up some really nice figures. We had a total of seventeen possible strike points spread over five options chains, and regardless of which was chosen, there were considerable gain opportunities to be had. Only ONE of those seventeen possibilities recorded an intraday move of less than 100%
