Wednesday Winners, 4 New Trading Ideas

A Solid Midweek Performance:

Things went pretty well for us on Wednesday. All three of the quick-strike ideas we entered into the log in our premarket report returned some pretty good figures. We haven’t had many earning reporters to work with so far in 2024, but we’ve been getting along quite well, and are now finally heading into another earnings season so things should be pretty interesting from here on out.

Yesterday’s movers and shakers were the SPY 01/17 $474-473 Puts, the NVDA Weekly $562.50-565 Calls, and the SCHW Weekly $64-62.50 Puts. Here were the daily advances and total possible gains that were on the table for these targets:
