Big Moves Thursday, 6-Pack of Fresh Plays

Wrapping Up a Great Trading Week:

This has been one heck of an options trading week for us. With plenty of earnings reporters to take advantage of, we have been knocking homers out of the park daily, and yesterday was no exception. We floated five potential plays in our premarket report, and the four with their expiration set for today produced big intraday moves. We’ll also have a nice big slate with both quick-strike, and longer-term interests for today, so it should be an interest close to a fantastic trading week.

Yesterday’s movers and shakers were the META Weekly $290-285 Puts, the IBM Weekly $137-139 Calls, the NOW Weekly $547.50-555 Calls, and the BMY Weekly $55-53 Puts, and here were the types of intraday moves they made, and the total possible gains those presented:

Wrapping Up a Solid Trading Week

Options Recap: 

It was a treacherous day for the markets yesterday, with the vast majority of big board stocks pulling back, but we still managed to go two for three on options ideas despite signaling calls across the board.

The two ideas that recorded notable intraday moves before falling off into the close, were the NOW Weekly $530-540 Calls, and the TSLA Weekly $930-945 Calls. Oftentimes post-earnings plays will still provide such opportunities even if they can’t sustain the momentum, which is exactly why we base most of our targets around quarterly reporters on a given day.

Here are the early moves registered by the above mentioned targets: 

NOW Weekly $530-540 Calls
$530:
 4.60-10.59 (+130%)
$535: 3.11-8.70 (+180%)
$540: 2.00-5.60 (+180%)
_____

TSLA Weekly $930-945 Calls
$930: 7.43-11.12 (+50%)
$935: 3.41-5.77 (+69%)
$940: 3.05-5.06 (+66%)
$945: 2.77-4.48 (+62%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 
SPY 01/28 $430 Puts
AAPL Weekly $165 Puts
CAT Weekly $210-207.50 Puts
