Friday’s Big Winners, Fresh Plays to Start the Week

Friday Runners Recap: 

We closed out the short trading week on Friday in high spirits, after our morning options trading ideas bore an incredible amount of fruit. We had only signaled interest in tracking two potential sets of targets, but that was more than enough of a selection to see some serious intraday gain opportunities.

We were zeroed in on the SQ Weekly $77-79 Calls, and the BYND Weekly $18-19 Calls, and were very impressed with the intraday movement in every single contract set. We went six-for-six on the day with the lowest upswing coming in at 300% and the highest topping 800% Just the sort of finish to a week that we love to have, and here are the performance figures they posted on the day:

SQ Weekly $77-79 Calls

Closing Out a Highly Successful Short Week

Thursday’s Big Bangers: 

Thursday’s session turned up another nice crop of movers, with regard to our premarket earnings-based options ideas. We were looking a trio of earnings plays and went bearish on them all. A lackluster day from the markets in general aided our efforts, and we were able witness some really nice runs out of our selected plays.

We were honed in on the PG Weekly $144-142 Puts, the AA Weekly $52-50 Puts, and the DFS Weekly $96-94 Puts, and most of the target contracts in question posted some serious multibag moves on the day. Here are the ranges and total possible gains to be had on the backs of those ideas:

PG Weekly $144-142 Puts
$144:
 .36-1.95 (+441%)
$143: .22-1.25 (+468%)
$142: .14-.81 (+478%)
