Monday’s Runners, Pair of Longer-Term Plays

Good Start to the Week:  

We got the fresh trading week off to a pretty good start yesterday morning. Despite having no big name earnings reporters to work with, we floated a few ideas that flew in the face of the overall trend of the day, yet still managed to log some serious intraday upswings. Unfortunately, we’re just entering another dry spell for earnings, and as usual, we’ll get along however we sit fit on the day-to-day.

As for yesterday’s targets, we were looking at the TSLA Weekly $277.50-272.50 Puts, the NVDA Weekly $435-430 Puts, and the SPY 09/18 $444-443 Puts, and here are the kinds of intraday runs they established on the session:

TSLA Weekly $277.50-272.50 Puts
$277.50:
 9.80-14.80 (+51%)
$275: 7.80-12.90 (+65%)
$272.50: 6.40-11.05 (+73%)

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.

 .44-.85 (+93%)

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%)

SPY 05/12 $412.50-413 Calls

$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%)

Closing Out a Short Yet Sweet Trading Week

Wednesday’s Options Runners:

We were running a little light yesterday with regard to the slate of earnings reporters from which we had to choose some daily options plays, but that didn’t stop us from producing a pair of solid runners on the day in our premarket report. Both of the ideas we ventured possible targets in, recorded some significant intraday movement for us in a positive direction.

Our areas of interest were the SMPL 04/21 $40-35 Puts, and the DLO 04/21 $16-15 Puts, and while the potential gains they produced weren’t life-changing, they were certainly very respectable, as they put up the following figures for the session:

SMPL 04/21 $40-35 Puts
$40:
 3.30-4.50 (+36%)
$35: .30-.75 (+150%)
_____

DLO 04/21 $16-15 Puts
$16:
 1.32-3.70 (+180%)
$15: .65-3.00 (+362%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
STZ Weekly $220-225 Calls*
LEVI 04/21 $18 Puts
LW 04/21 $105 Calls
BA 05/05 $220-210 Puts

*We do not recommend you try to trade options on their day of expiration unless you are an experienced trader with access to disposable funds.

Thursday’s Major Movers: 

The majority of our fortunes have come down on the positive side of the street this week, and yesterday was a continuation of that trend.
