Thursday’s Movers, Fresh Play Friday

Thursday’s Big Runners:

We kept things moving yesterday with regard to our never-ending daily quest for hot options trades. Our premarket report contained five sets of ideas based off of a big day for earnings, and of those, four returned some very nice chances for intraday profit. We’ve got some nice names on the board today, so we feel confident that we can carry this success into the weekend.

Yesterday’s big opportunities came in the form of the TTWO Weekly $139-141 Calls, the WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls, the BABA Weekly $90-92 Calls, and the BBWI Weekly $36-37.50 Calls. The moves they recorded were fairly impressive. Here’s how the session shook out:

Big 1100% Gainer, Fresh Ideas

Wednesday’s Movers:

After sweeping the board with mostly bearish plays from Tuesday, in yesterday’s premarket report we flipped back to the other side of the fence with a mostly bullish slate of possible options trading ideas. What resulted was another clean sweep of solid gainers on the day, including an 11-bagger as the star of the show. We hope to continue to maintain this level of exciting activity with the help of a huge dump of major earnings hitting the wires this morning. It should allow us to close out this excellent trading week on a high note today and tomorrow.

Yesterday’s picks were the DOCS Weekly $32.50-30 Puts, the TGT Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, the DT Weekly $49-51 Calls, and the WIX Weekly $85-90 Calls, and as you can see from the intraday breakdowns below, the gain chances were pretty serious.

Looking to the SPY Amid Earnings Drought

Leaning on the SPY:

We started off the fresh trading week yesterday on fairly decent footing. We formulated a batch of three options ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, a couple of quick-strike plays and a longer-term idea. Both of the near-term targets looked pretty good for us on the day.

Those plays were the SPY 09/19 $385-383 Puts and the TTWO Weekly $119-121 Calls , with the latter producing larger gain opportunities by a fairly large margin as you can see here. We’re going to stick with the strategy of going bearish on the SPY once again today with a fresh target range that you can find below. We may find ourselves looking to the SPY more and more as the present earnings dry period persists.

SPY 09/19 $385-383 Puts
$385: .70-2.00 (+186%)
$384: .50-1.46 (+192%)
$383: .34-1.02 (+200%)
_____

TTWO Weekly $119-121 Calls
$119: 
3.50-4.00 (+17%)
$120: 3.40-5.23 (+54%)
$121: 2.40-3.50 (+46%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 09/21 $386-385 Puts
APOG 10/21 $40-45 Calls
GIII 10/21 $15-17.50 Calls
