A Good Start to the Week, 4 Fresh Ideas

Monday’s Options Runners: 

We kicked things off for the week on a good note yesterday. Another day, another excellent performance for potential options trading targets we highlighted in our premarket report. Out of the four target sets we chose to put on our watchlist, three of those came back with some highly respectable intraday gain opportunities.

Our winning targets were the SPY 01/09 $389-391 Calls, the CMC 01/20 $50 Calls, and the FISV Weekly $100-102 Calls. Out of those three, the SPY was definitely the way to go for the biggest gain chances on the day. Here’s the breakdowns of the kinds of moves we witnessed:

Big Options Gainers, New Earnings Plays

Huge SPY Gains & More: 

Yesterday’s trading session was one of extremes. The markets gapped up before dipping early, and running into the Fed meeting, after which there was another precipitous drop-off followed by a late day run into the close. It was a choppy and exciting session, and that late rally pushed the SPY Calls we highlighted in our premarket report to some major league moves.

Those potential plays were the SPY 01/04 $382-383 Calls, and we got some decent intraday push from our other set of targets, the SGH 01/20 $15-17.50 Calls as well. Here were the intraday ranges and total possible gains to be had for both ideas, as well as some new highs on the PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls we’ve been on since December 20th:

SPY 01/04 $382-383 Calls
$382:
 .17-2.24 (+1218%)
$383: .04-.99 (+2375%)
_____

SGH 01/20 $15-17.50 Calls
