A Five-Pack of Fresh Trading Ideas

Solid Start to the Trading Week: 

We got this short week off to a good start yesterday morning as we alerted on four potential options plays, and considering our recent track record, it came as very little surprise to see some very nice intraday gain opportunities in all of them. We had earnings in the financial sector and some good premarket movement on TSLA, and the ideas we generated off of that led to some sizable runs in our designated targets.

Those interests were the GS Weekly $370-365 Puts, the SBNY Weekly $120 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $123-125 Calls, and the MARA Weekly $8.00-8.50 Calls. As we’re seeing TSLA gapping up again this morning in the premarket, we’re likely to see the gains on those contracts extended, and we’ll also go ahead and roll up to include some higher strikes with our fresh ideas for today. First, here’s the breakdown from yesterday’s activity:

Friday’s HUGE Runners, 4 Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Fantastic Four: 

Before we broke for the long weekend on Friday, we had highlighted our interest in tracking a selection of four sets of potential options plays. While three of those four were bearish ideas, they bucked the trend quite nicely for us. The markets gapped down in the morning and ripped for most of the day, going green around 1PM.  There were opportunities at various times during the session for all four of our targets.

The ideas in question were the JPM Weekly $139-136 Puts, the BAC Weekly $34.50-33.50 Puts, the C Weekly $48-49 Calls, and the TSLA Weekly $118-115 Puts. Most of the intraday runs we saw were considerable (including a couple of thousand percent+ gainers!) which you can see from the breakdown below:

JPM Weekly $139-136 Puts
$139: 
1.12-2.10 (+87%)
$138: .64-1.30 (+103%)
$137: .30-.80 (+167%)
