Another Clean Sweep on Options Plays, 4 New Ideas

Another Perfect Session: 

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, we had just gone over our flawless options slate from Monday before offering up a selection of fresh potential plays, as we do each day. No one can be perfect all the time, but we certainly manage it here with surprising regularity.

All three of our daily interests produced good intraday movement and provided us with some pretty nice chances for intraday profits. Our targets on the session were the ATVI Weekly $72.50-73 Calls, the BP Weekly $35-36 Calls, and the BIDU Weekly $157.50-162.50 Calls. Thanks to some help from a mainly bullish session for the markets at large, we saw the following trading ranges and gain chances:

ATVI Weekly $72.50-73 Calls

 2.70-4.20 (+55%)

Good Start to the Trading Week, New Plays

Solid Start to the Week: 

We got off on a good foot for Monday’s premarket report, despite a real lack of big name earnings reporters. The only two potential plays that really jumped out to us yesterday did, however, post some nice double bag moves for us on the session.

We had signaled our interest in tracking the ARLP 02/17 $22.50-25 Calls, and the GEHC Weekly $70-68.50 Puts, and we got some very nice movement from each set of ideas on the day. Today’s earnings plays deal with some much bigger names, so our week should continue along an interesting trajectory. Here’s the breakdown of the gains that were possible through yesterday’s targets:

ARLP 02/17 $22.50-25 Calls
$28:
 .48-1.05 (+119%)
$27: .10-.20 (+100%)
_____

GEHC Weekly $70-68.50 Puts 

$70: .30-.60 (+100%)
$69: .17-.35 (+106%)
$68.50: .15-.30 (+100%)

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%)
