Options Perfection, New Ideas

Perfect Streak of Options Plays:

We really turned the volume up to 11 yesterday in terms of our fortunes with options trading this week. We came out in our premarket report with a collection of four potential target ranges in some big name earnings reporters, and the results we got were quite pleasing.

All four of our designated plays produced some really good intraday movement and gain opportunities for ourselves, and our readers. For those of you who are newly subscribed to our daily reports, this is the well we typically like to dip into whenever possible. Big companies reporting their quarterlies provides daytraders with the price action and volatility that can allow for big time intraday successes.

Our targets that flourished yesterday were the DKS Weekly $111-113 Calls, the BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls, the PANW Weekly $550-565 Calls, and the ZM Weekly $89-86 Puts, and these were the moves they posted on the day:

Options Recaps:

We hashed out a trio of potential options ideas for yesterday morning’s premarket report, and got things on track with decent moves being produced across the board on the day. Even those in HD, which ended up flipping the script and going in another direction, still yielded some modest intraday moves in a positive direction.

Our specific targeted plays were the WMT Weekly $136-138 Calls, the HD Weekly $315-312.50 Puts, and the GLBE Weekly $30 Calls. Here were the caliber of gains that were available to anyone speculating in these plays:

SPY Yields Thousand Percent Gainers & More

SPY Calls Roll:

Up until yesterday morning, it had actually been quite some time since we had last formulated a daily trading idea for the SPY, which historically has been one of our most common targets. Despite an up-and-down session for the markets, we did observe some very nice gain opportunities in our targeted contracts.

We were looking at the SPY 09/13 $446-448 Calls due to a relative dry spell of earnings reporters that will persist for the next several weeks. It turned out to be a solid choice, with our designated range yielding three out of three multi-baggers, including two sets that ran well over a thousand percent!

Here are the total moves and possible profits provided by our selections on the day:

SPY 09/13 $446-448 Calls*
$446:
 .05-.99 (+1880%)
$447: .01-.16 (+1500%)
$448: .17-.44 (+159%)

We’ll stick with the same SPY targets but for tomorrow’s expiration, following better than expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures dropped this morning.

SPY 09/15 $446-448 Calls
ORCL Weekly $87-85.50 Puts 

B 10/15 $35-45 Calls
