Top Shelf Friday, 5 Fresh Plays to Start the Week

Trend of Perfection Continues:  

We finished last week in the best possible fashion, by reporting a clean sweep of all of our options ideas from Thursday’s report. Now this morning, we get to kick off the fresh trading week in the best way possible as well, by reporting a clean sweep of all of the fresh ideas we included in Friday’s premarket report.

Kicking Off Another Trading Week, New Plays

Recapping Friday’s Performance :  

We posted good numbers all week last week, and that trend was unchanged for the options trading ideas we offered up in Friday morning’s premarket report. We had ventured possible strike areas in three separate chains, and came back with some favorable results on the day. Even on days where the earnings calendar doesn’t provide us with many opportunities, we always seem to manage.

That trio of plays from Friday consisted of the ULTA Weekly $425-427.50 Calls, the AFRM Weekly $14-15 Calls, and the HIBB 09/15 $40 Calls. Here were the intraday runs we witnessed in each of the contract sets therein:

ULTA Weekly $425-427.50 Calls
$425: 1.37-3.39 (+147%)
$427.50: .90-2.10 (+133%)
_____

AFRM Weekly $14-15 Calls
$14: 1.08-4.25 (+293%)
$14.50: .77-3.62 (+370%)
$15: .47-3.21 (+583%)
_____

HIBB 09/15 $40 Calls
$40: 5.00-6.50 (+30%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

The landscape for interesting high profile earnings reporters is essentially barren today, but we’re going to be tracking the following plays in TSLA and the SPY, a couple of chains that we’ve relied upon for big gains many times before.

TSLA Weekly $240-245 Calls
SPY 08/28 $440-442 Calls*

*Trading contracts on their day of expiration should only be attempted by experienced traders

Earnings-Related Options Ideas & More

Monday’s Options Review:

We kicked off the week in solid form in our premarket report yesterday morning, despite lacking a large slate of earnings reporters off of which to base our daily ideas. All three of the quick-strike options targets we offered up for the day turned in winning cards. We had a much longer term with a June expiration as well, but we can come back for those at a later date.

In the meantime, our fresh targets to kick things off on Monday morning were the SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls, the MNDY Weekly $145-155 Calls, and the SHAK Weekly $66-67 Calls and here are the numbers thy put up for us on the session:

SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls
$411: .59-2.48 (+320%)
$412: .28-1.58 (+464%)

MNDY Weekly $145-155 Calls
$145: 4.00-9.40 (+135%)
$150: 2.50-6.00 (+140%)
$155: 1.60-3.80 (+137%)

SHAK Weekly $66-67 Calls
$66: 2.75-5.70 (+107%)
$67: 2.15-3.90 (+81%)
