Monday’s Performance, 3 New Possibilities

A Good Start to the Week:

All in all, it was a good start to the fresh trading week on Monday. Our premarket report contained two quick-strike options ideas, and a couple of longer-term suggestions. Out of those four possible plays, three of them produced immediate results for us, putting up some nice intraday upswings.

Those targets were the SPY 03/18 $512-513 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $167.50-170 Calls and the ERJ 04/19 $25 Calls. Below are the intraday increases they recorded:

Tuesday Recaps, Fresh Ideas

Two for Tuesday:  

We fared reasonably well yesterday, having selected a trio of potential plays for our premarket report. While we didn’t manage a clean sweep on that, two out of three isn’t half bad, and our moving targets produced a very solid performance on the session. We also had a solid NASDAQ play pop off of the extended watchlist, so all in all we’re in pretty good shape as we cross this week’s midpoint.

Yesterday’s movers and shakers were the ORCL Weekly $117-115 Puts and the NVDA Weekly $455-450 Puts, and here are the total possible gains they facilitated on Tuesday: .

ORCL Weekly $117-115 Puts
