5 Fresh Ideas to Start the Week

Friday’s Big Plays: 

We went bearish on our entire slate of options ideas in our premarket report on Friday morning, and it turned out to be the right way to go. The markets flailed, and helped our ideas along nicely.

We were zeroed in on the DOCU Weekly $57-55 Puts, the ORCL Weekly $84-82.50 Puts, the GPS Weekly $11.50-11 Puts, and the JKS Weekly $55-53 Puts. The gains we witnessed, which ranged from moderate to eye-popping, were as follows:

Ending a Strong Week on a High Note

Thursday’s Major Movers: 

The majority of our fortunes have come down on the positive side of the street this week, and yesterday was a continuation of that trend. With the exception of one out of the five options ideas we had loaded up for yesterday’s premarket report, we saw really nice intraday runs out of our whole slate for the day.

We were tracking the ASAN Weekly $19.50-21 Calls, the BJ 03/17 $75-80 Calls, the JD Weekly $45.50-44.50 Puts, and the TSLA Weekly $182.50-180 Puts, and they yielded plenty of chances for multibag intraday gains. Here were the trading ranges and total possible profits they recorded:

$19.50:
 1.35-3.22 (+139%)

Thursday’s Runners, Potential Friday Plays

Thursday’s Top Plays:

We fared rather well with the options targets we selected in yesterday morning’s premarket report, having formulated four possible plays, and being answered with significant intraday moves in three of the four. We call those pretty good odds, and will do our best to continue this run through the end of this short trading week and beyond.

As for yesterday’s winning areas of interest, we’re talking about the SPY 09/09 $397.50-396 Puts, the GME Weekly $27-26 Puts, and the BILI Weekly $20.50-21.50 Calls. The SPY targets had the most potential for intraday trades by far, but all of the opportunities we observed were noteworthy.

SPY 09/09 $397.50-396 Puts
$397.50: 1.17-3.85 (+229%)

Friday’s Options Perfection, Fresh Idea for the SPY

Friday’s Options Review: 

The markets got absolutely crushed to close out the week on Friday, so it was fortunate that the majority of the plays that we offered up as intraday trading ideas were on the bearish side of the fence. However, the one set of calls that we rode with also bucked the trend and posted some huge gains, so we swept the board with a perfect performance on the day.

Our particular targets for the day were the BABA Weekly $110-113 Calls, the DOCU Weekly $68-65 Puts, the SPY 06/10 $400-398 Puts, and the SFIX Weekly $7-6.50 Puts. The potential profits produced by these plays did not disappoint. Those figures were as follows:

BABA Weekly $110-113 Calls
$110: 
.27-.95 (+252%)
$111: .09-.49 (+444%)
$112: .03-.27 (+800%)
$113: .01-.14 (+1300%)
_____

DOCU Weekly $68-65 Puts
$68: .91-3.70 (+307%)
$67: .54-3.00 (+455%)
$66: .36-2.20 (+511%)
$65: .20-1.50 (+650%)
_____

SPY 06/10 $400-398 Puts
$400: 5.24-11.00 (+110%)
$399: 4.57-9.28 (+103%)
$398: 3.88-8.31 (+114%)
_____

SFIX Weekly $7-6.50 Puts

$7.00: .05-.25 (+400%)
$6.50: .20-.55 (+175%)


Fresh Options Idea:

As we mentioned at the outset of last week, we’re heading into a very thin and spotty time in terms of big name earnings reporters, which are typically our daily bread and butter for quick-strike options trading opportunities. In times like these, we usually rely upon playing daily SPY targets. Today we’re going to look at the SPY 06/13 $385-383 Puts.
