Closing in On a Perfect Options Trading Week?

Sweeping the Board Yet Again:

It has been one heck of a week for us with regard to our performance on the various options plays we’ve been tracking day to day. For the fourth straight session this week, all of the ideas contained in yesterday’s premarket report ended up posting good numbers on the day. Should all of this morning’s fresh plays yield intraday gain opportunities, that will make the whole week miss-free on our part, which would be an exceedingly impressive feat.

That’s how hot we’ve been, and we’re more than pleased to share it with our followers. Yesterday’s targets were the IBM Weekly $126-128 Calls, the UNP Weekly $200-192.50 Puts, and the TSLA Weekly $210-205 Puts, and here are the potential profit chances they offered us during the session:

Major Options Movers, New Plays

Options Rehash:

Finally, we saw a really good session for the markets yesterday, after weeks of what seems like losses stacked on top of losses for stocks in general. It has made our daily routine slightly more challenging, along with a relative dry spell for earnings releases, but we’re still over here chugging along, and today we’ve got some pretty good gainers to report. 

The sole quick-strike play we offered up yesterday was the SPY 10/03 $359-361 Calls, and we’ve also got a couple of longer-term selections from the week before last that have made major moves up until now. We signaled the MEDP 10/21 $155-165 Calls, and the TCOM 10/21 $25-26 Calls on the 21st and 22nd of September, respectively, and as you can see below, they’ve put up some very nice numbers to this point.

SPY 10/03 $359-361 Calls
$359: 
2.23-9.32 (+318%)
$360: 1.68-8.50 (+406%)
$361: 1.27-7.33 (+477%)

MEDP 10/21 $155-165 Calls
$155: 3.35-8.49 (+153%)
$160: 2.25-7.80 (+247%)
$165: 1.88-7.00 (+272%)

TCOM 10/21 $25-26 Calls

Putting a Cap on a Fruitful Short Week

Options Review: 

We went bearish on the pair of options ideas that we highlighted for yesterday morning’s premarket report, and they posted some pretty nice intraday moves, considering the markets as a whole went on an impressive daily run.

Our areas of interest were the HELE 07/15 $160-150 Puts, and the SLP Weekly $55-50 Puts. Both ranges of contracts yielded two separate chances to pocket multibag proceeds on the day, with the SLP $50 Puts stealing the show on the strength of a massive four-bagger. Those potential gains were as follows:

HELE 07/15 $160-150 Puts
$160: 
7.80-10.30 (+32%)
$155: 2.55-6.40 (+151%)
$150: 1.54-3.25 (+111%)
_____

SLP Weekly $55-50 Puts 
$55: 1.60-4.00 (+150%)
$50: .15-.88 (+487%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
LEVI Weekly $17 Calls*
WDFC 07/15 $190-185 Calls

*Trading options on their day of expiration can carry a heightened level of risk and should only be attempted by seasoned traders.


United Maritime Corp. USEA – NASDAQ Recap: 

Our daily extended watchlists are typically a mix of the stocks from both the upper and lower exchanges, and while we usually don’t see the type of quick gains USEA posted yesterday from a NASDAQ stock, it did post a solid daily run and is gapping up in premarket trading this morning. The stock traded for as little as 6.16 a share following yesterday’s alert, and this morning it has reached as high as 10.12 in early trading, which represents an overnight increase of 64%
