Flawless Friday Recap, 4 New Plays

Friday’s Forceful Finish:  

We really did a great job of closing out a nearly perfect trading week with another straight sweep of all of our fresh trading ideas for Friday’s premarket report. We put out a slate of four possible plays, all bearish, and came back with some darn good intraday results even in the face of a fairly bullish day for the markets as a whole. Everything worked, producing positive intraday runs across the board.

Our tracked targets were the SPY 08/18 $435-434 Puts, the TSLA Weekly $217.50-215 Puts, the EL Weekly $155-150 Puts, and the KEYS Weekly $135-130 Puts, and here were the figures they posted for us on the session:

Options Recaps, 5-Pack of Fresh Ideas

Recapping Friday’s Movers:  

Things played out very much like we suspected they would on Friday, as we capped off an exceptional trading week with some solid options ideas. We came up with a pair of quick-strike plays, as well as a couple of longer-term targets with September expirations. Both of the weekly ideas we floated ended up posting some pretty good intraday upswings.

Those ideas were the NVDA Weekly $420 Puts and the IONQ Weekly $14.50-15 Calls, and each of them produced the following multibag gain possibilities on the day:

NVDA Weekly $420 Puts
$420: 
3.45-13.43 (+289%)
_____

IONQ Weekly $14.50-15 Calls
$14.50: .93-3.10 (+233%)
$15: .50-2.65 (+430%)
_____

We also saw new highs in the APP 08/18 $35-37.50 Calls which we flagged for observation on Thursday and reported on Friday. That considerably increased the percentage gains we had seen the previous session. The following figures represent the overall two-day swing:

APP 08/18 $35-37.50 Calls
$35: 
.70-4.50 (+543%)
$37.50: .24-2.35 (+879%)

TSLA Weekly $237.50-235 Puts
MNDY Weekly $160-165 Calls
