Winning Picks from Thursday, New Ideas

Thursdays Runners:

We were in really good shape following yesterday morning’s premarket report, in which we included five earnings-related options trading ideas. It was a heck of a day, as four out of those five potential target sets yielded the chance at some serious multi-bag intraday gain opportunities. It was a mixed bag of a session for the markets in general and it didn’t seem to hurt our chances, with all of the positive activity in our tracked plays.

Those targets that took off running during the session were the JD Weekly $35.50-36.50 Calls, the U Weekly $31-32 Calls, the TTD Weekly $66-68 Calls, and the DIS Weekly $98-96 Puts. The breakdown of the total possible profits they provided on the day were as follows:
