Lossless Thursday, 5 Plays to End the Week

Thursday’s Big Plays:

Even with our level of acumen, which makes missing on daily options ideas rather rare around here, it’s always exciting when we have a chance to complete a perfect week. But that’s what we’re faced with today, having yet to falter on a single target this week. A green slate today would complete that feat, because once again on Thursday, everything we signaled in our daily premarket report recorded sizable intraday upswings of which traders could have taken advantage.

We were zeroed in on the AZN Weekly $64-62 Puts, the DIS Weekly $105-107 Calls, the PYPL Weekly $61-59 Puts, and the ARM Weekly $96-98 Calls. Here were the moves they made on the day, which ranged from moderate to downright eye-popping:

Wrapping Up a Successful Week, 4 Plays for Friday

Thursday’s Across-the-Board Sweep:

Things hashed out rather well for us on Thursday, as we offered our readers five new ideas for possible options plays in our daily premarket report. The wider the net you cast, there’s always a higher chance of the occasional miss, but that didn’t happen yesterday. Instead we got right back on our 2024 hot streak, with just one single idea we’ve put forth so far here in the new year failing to produce instant positive results.

Yesterday’s movers were the INFY Weekly $18 Calls, the KBH Weekly $62-61 Puts, the MARA Weekly $26-27 Calls, the COIN Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, and the NVDA Weekly $545-547.50 Calls. Here were the types of intraday moves they exhibited during the session:

INFY Weekly $18 Calls

Just for good measure, here’s an update on the new highs in our previously target set of NVDA Calls from Wednesday’s report. We’ve been attacking this chain since last week and it continues to work in our favor.

Wednesday’s Winners, 5 Fresh Options Ideas

Wednesday’s Winners:

For yesterday morning’s premarket report, we lofted possible targets in five separate options chains, and got back some mixed, but ultimately good results. Things have been a little light on the big name earnings front recently, but we’ve found some good opportunities elsewhere. We should start to see a ton more chances at earnings plays toward the end of the month, and until then we’ll continue to get creative when choosing our daily items of interest.

Our fresh ideas for the day on Wednesday were the NVDA Weekly $532.50-537.50 Calls, the WDFC 01/19 $250 Calls, the AEHR 01/19 $20 Puts, the SGH 01/19 $20 Calls, and the W 01/26 $55 Calls. With the expiration a little farther out on those W Calls, we’ll have to come back to those at a later date, but the rest of our plays we’re pretty good. Here were the intraday moves and total possible gains that they recorded:

NVDA Weekly $532.50-537.50 Calls
$532.50:
 8.60-16.00 (+86%)
$535: 7.13-14.00 (+96%)
