Big Moves on Friday, 3 Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Options Recap:

We had a good week last week, and were hoping to close it out with a slate of good ideas in our premarket report. We went with four possibilities on the day, and each of them exhibited some level of intraday upswings for us. It was a great way to close out a strong performance for the week, as all of our ideas panned out.

Solid Start to the Week, 3 Possible Runners

Monday’s Movers:

We may not have kicked off another fresh trading week by sweeping the board as we would have liked, but we still managed two out of three good plays in our premarket report for the session on Monday. It can certainly be a bit of a challenge to maintain through these earnings droughts, when typically, trading on the heels of earnings reports is our main formula. We most often do seem to find quality opportunities nonetheless.

Yesterday’s two standout targets were the TIGR 10/18 $13-14 Calls, and the BABA Weekly $117-118 Calls. These were the intraday upswings they recorded for the day:

TIGR 10/18 $13-14 Calls
$13:
 1.40-2.45 (+75%)
$14: 1.15-2.10 (+83%)
_____

BABA Weekly $117-118 Calls
$117:
 2.82-4.50 (+60%)
$118: 2.58-4.15 (+61%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
NVDA Weekly $129-130 Calls
SPY 10/08 $568-569 Calls*
PEP Weekly $167.50 Puts

*Only experienced traders should attempt to trade contracts on their day of expiration

Friday Recap, Trio of New Ideas

Recap of Friday’s Session:

We wrapped up another clean sheet for the week on Friday, seeing some type of upward movement for all the potential plays in our premarket report. Some picks fared better than others, but all in all, it was a pretty positive session.

Friday’s Big Gainers, 3 Fresh Plays

Close, But No Cigar:

Well, we NEARLY did what we set out to do on Friday, which was to seal our fourth straight week of nothing but successful daily options picks. We offered up four possibilities, and three of them delivered. Unfortunately our targets in the INTU chain were simply too deep in the money to trade volume by the time the opening bell rang. However, 19 days without a bad idea is still an absolutely incredible feat, and we’re very proud of it.

Our premarket report winners for the session were the SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls, the WDAY Weekly $260-265 Calls, and the CAVA Weekly $108-110 Calls. The gains they produced more than made up for missing on a single idea:

SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls
$557:
 1.47-5.61 (+282%)
$557.50: 1.20-5.16 (+330%)
$558: .95-4.69 (+394%)
$559: .58-3.56 (+514%)

WDAY Weekly $260-265 Calls
$260: .20-1.16 (+480%)
$265: .20-.45 (+125%)
_____

$108:
 3.73-17.43 (+367%)
$109: 4.02-15.57 (+287%)
