Wednesday’s Movers, 3 More New Ideas

Recap of Wednesday’s Plays:

We had just three prospective options trading ideas lined up in yesterday morning’s premarket report, with the earnings calendar being a little on the light side, but the targets we did land on did manage to post some pretty good intraday runs for the session. Today’s calendar is a bit heftier, so we’ll be expecting a little more excitement to finish out the week.

Midweek Movers, 5-Pack of New Ideas

Five for Five on Wednesday:

We got things right back on track in yesterday morning’s premarket report, with a mostly bearish slate of options trading ideas. We went to the short side on four out of our five potential plays for the day, and the markets played along, experiencing a rather red day that helped facilitate some nice gain chances among our picks. All five posted solid intraday runs for us on the day.

Our daily targets were the ANET Weekly $260-255 Puts, the WM Weekly $192.50-197.50 Calls, the DDOG Weekly $131-128 Puts, the LSCC weekly $65 Puts and the CDNS Weekly $285-280 Puts. Here were the very respectable moves they made during the session:

Wrapping Up a Successful Week, 4 Plays for Friday

Thursday’s Across-the-Board Sweep:

Things hashed out rather well for us on Thursday, as we offered our readers five new ideas for possible options plays in our daily premarket report. The wider the net you cast, there’s always a higher chance of the occasional miss, but that didn’t happen yesterday. Instead we got right back on our 2024 hot streak, with just one single idea we’ve put forth so far here in the new year failing to produce instant positive results.

Yesterday’s movers were the INFY Weekly $18 Calls, the KBH Weekly $62-61 Puts, the MARA Weekly $26-27 Calls, the COIN Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, and the NVDA Weekly $545-547.50 Calls. Here were the types of intraday moves they exhibited during the session:
