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%)

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.

Another Flip on the SPY, Fresh Ideas

Options Review: 

It has been a stellar week for options trading, despite the markets having their hiccups. Yesterday was another mixed bag in terms of the overall sentiment, but both of the quick strike options plays we were tracking in our premarket report produced immediate results for us. The volatility afforded by recent market conditions has been a real plus for daytraders.

Our designated targets for yesterday’s session were the SPY 05/13 $392-389 Puts, and the DIS Weekly $101-98 Puts, and there were multi-bag intraday opportunities across the board in both ranges. Below, we’re going to flip our stance on the SPY as well, something we’ve done successfully many times in recent sessions, so be sure to read on past yesterday’s performance figures to find those fresh targets.

SPY 05/13 $392-389 Puts
$392:
 2.40-8.02 (+197%)
$391: 2.02-7.30 (+262%)
$390: 1.74-6.60 (+279%)
$389: 1.47-5.90 (+301%)

DIS Weekly $101-98 Puts
$101:
 .36-.95 (+164%)
$100: .23-.66 (+187%)
$99: .16-.43 (+169%)
$98: .11-27 (+145%)
