Closing Out an Interesting Trading Week

Bearish Retail Targets Fall Despite General Uptrend:

With the state of the markets this week, we had remained primarily focused on bearish signals through to yesterday morning’s report. Even as stocks put forward an impressive rebound on Thursday, the majority of our tracked plays still produced.

Two of our three designated potential targets bucked the trend of the day, both giants in the retail space. The KSS Weekly $58-56.50 Puts and the RL Weekly $130-125 Puts logged very respectable intraday upswings, with four out of those six contract sets recording double-bag gains or better.

Here were those trend-bucking moves, and total potential daily gains for traders: 

KSS Weekly $58-56.50 Puts
$58: 3.00-5.54 (+85%)
$57.50: 2.40-4.00 (+66%)
$57: 1.70-4.22 (+148%)
$56.50: 1.30-3.65 (+181%)

RL Weekly $130-125 Puts
$130: 4.10-10.85 (+165%)
$125: 1.45-6.50 (+348%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

We’re going to flip back over to the other side of the fence this morning and designate some bullish options ideas for today. The scenario with the above mentioned short plays was the exception, not the rule. The typical key to our particular brand of quick-strike trading is to constantly keep your finger on the pulse of the markets and heed the prevailing winds.

International Consolidated Companies, Inc. INCC – Recap

We also want to talk about INCC for a moment, following its big run to new highs. We’ve been tracking this play since the morning of April 6th, and it has made some impressive swings.

Following our flag last month the stock ran 100% from .0018-.0036, and subsequently consolidated back down to .0017 before hitting its new high of .0061 yesterday, which represents an upswing of 259%  We’ll be looking for it to hold .0037, above the previous swing high on any pullbacks.

Our Winning Formula

Our Winning Formula

Our operations around here on a daily basis have become slightly repetitive, but that’;s only because what we do produces results so consistently. So each day it has become custom for us to highlight our ideas’ potential gains from the previous session or sessions, and to offer up fresh ideas for our tracklists. Today will of course be very similar.

We had a running idea with some SPY Calls on Monday, so first we’ll highlight the new highs reached by those contracts, and then the figures from the fresh ideas in yesterday’ premarket report will follow, as those enjoyed significant single session moves as well.

SPY Weekly $323-324 Calls
$323: 3.30-7.35 (+123%)
$324: 2.71-6.52 (+141%)

We want to stick with the rising SPY as we head into the end of the week, and roll up to the Weekly $332-334 Calls.
