Tuesday’s Clean Sweep, 4 New Targets

Tuesday’s Options Runners:

We went bearish on all three of the earnings-based options ideas we presented in yesterday morning’s premarket report. A challenging day for the markets at large only boosted their performances, which led to some really nice intraday gain opportunities for traders. We’re seeing a pickup in the volume of earnings reporters as compared to last week, which is always good in terms of having fresh material for quick-strike options ideas.

Our targets yesterday were the SE Weekly $84-82 Puts, the HD Weekly $285-280 Puts, and the BIDU Weekly $127-125 Puts. Here is the breakdown of the figures they put up for us on the session:

SE Weekly $84-82 Puts
$84: 5.05-13.10 (+159%)

Earnings-Related Options Ideas & More

Monday’s Options Review:

We kicked off the week in solid form in our premarket report yesterday morning, despite lacking a large slate of earnings reporters off of which to base our daily ideas. All three of the quick-strike options targets we offered up for the day turned in winning cards. We had a much longer term with a June expiration as well, but we can come back for those at a later date.

In the meantime, our fresh targets to kick things off on Monday morning were the SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls, the MNDY Weekly $145-155 Calls, and the SHAK Weekly $66-67 Calls and here are the numbers thy put up for us on the session:

SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls
$411: .59-2.48 (+320%)
$412: .28-1.58 (+464%)

MNDY Weekly $145-155 Calls
$145: 4.00-9.40 (+135%)
$150: 2.50-6.00 (+140%)
$155: 1.60-3.80 (+137%)

SHAK Weekly $66-67 Calls

4 Fresh Ideas for a New Trading Week

Friday Options Recap:

It was a little bit of a subdued finish to what was an otherwise fairly exciting week of trading on Friday. We had a limited slate of earnings reporters on the day, but still formed a few ideas that managed to make some early moves. The percentage gains weren’t quite on a level that would get us overexcited, but all contracts involved did make reasonable moves, with one lone exception.

Those ideas that we were tracking were the SPB 05/19 $65-70 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, and the SPY 05/12 $412.50-413 Calls. Here’s how their early positive movement played out in terms of total possible gains for quick traders:

SPB 05/19 $65-70 Calls 
$70: .83-1.69 (+104%)
_____

TSLA Weekly $175-177.50 Calls
$175: .36-.60 (+67%)
$177.50: .38-.62 (+63%)
_____

SPY 05/12 $412.50-413 Calls
$412.50: .20-.36 (+80%)
$413: .13-.24 (+85%)

We’ve also been tracking the IFF 05/19 $95-90 Puts since our report from this past Tuesday the 9th, and IFF continued to decline all week, leading to some really nice new highs in those targets:
 
IFF 05/19 $95-90 Puts
$95: 2.90-12.10 (+317%)
$90: 1.79-7.20 (+302%)
