Tuesday Review, 3 Fresh Options Ideas

Reviewing Tuesday’s Ideas:

Things went pretty well in terms of the possible options trading targets in our premarket report yesterday morning. There were a pair of quick-strike ideas based on earnings reporters, and a couple of longer-term swing trades with expirations next month, one of which posted some decent intraday moves right out of the gate. Both of the shorter term plays produced solid results as well.

Those targets were the PVH 04/19 $110-105 Puts, the PAYX 04/19 $120-115 Puts, and the SNOW 05/10 $175-180 Calls. Here were the trading ranges and total possible percentage gains in each of them for the day:

PVH 04/19 $110-105 Puts

A Winning Wednesday, 4 New Targets

Hot Streak Continues Wednesday:

We had another really solid outing on Wednesday, continuing a run of excellent options ideas for the week. We had a triplet of potential plays in our premarket report for the day, and all of them turned in some fairly impressive performances on the day. Especially our target in the SPY, which went on a really nice intraday tear immediately following the fed meeting, and into the close.

Those ideas we were tracking were the SPY 12/13 $465 Calls, the ABM Weekly $45 Calls, and the AMD Weekly $137-139 Calls, and here are the intraday runs they logged:

SPY 12/13 $465 Calls
$465:

Star Alliance International Corp. STAL – Update:

We’ve recently been tracking STAL closely, and on Monday morning we mentioned that we would want to see STAL hold support in the .004-.005 range to continue to hold our interest. It did just that, maintaining support at a low of .0045 on Tuesday, and running back to .0085 yesterday. That worked out to a two-day swing of 89%

C4 Therapeutics, Inc. – Recap:

 Another stock that we flagged in yesterday’s extended watchlist was CCCC, which posted an impressive intraday run on the heels of some positive phase 1 trial data, and news of an exclusive licensing agreement with pharma giant MRK. We saw a single session rip from 3.16-6.03 out of this stock, which represents a 91% upswing.

Friday’s Big Winners, Fresh Plays to Start the Week

Friday Runners Recap: 

We closed out the short trading week on Friday in high spirits, after our morning options trading ideas bore an incredible amount of fruit. We had only signaled interest in tracking two potential sets of targets, but that was more than enough of a selection to see some serious intraday gain opportunities.

We went six-for-six on the day with the lowest upswing coming in at 300% and the highest topping 800% Just the sort of finish to a week that we love to have, and here are the performance figures they posted on the day:

SQ Weekly $77-79 Calls
$77:
 .20-1.05 (+425%)
$78: .11-.50 (+354%)
$79: .06-.24 (+300%)
