Another Flip on the SPY, Fresh Ideas

Options Review: 

It has been a stellar week for options trading, despite the markets having their hiccups. Yesterday was another mixed bag in terms of the overall sentiment, but both of the quick strike options plays we were tracking in our premarket report produced immediate results for us. The volatility afforded by recent market conditions has been a real plus for daytraders.

Our designated targets for yesterday’s session were the SPY 05/13 $392-389 Puts, and the DIS Weekly $101-98 Puts, and there were multi-bag intraday opportunities across the board in both ranges. Below, we’re going to flip our stance on the SPY as well, something we’ve done successfully many times in recent sessions, so be sure to read on past yesterday’s performance figures to find those fresh targets.

Continued Options Success:

We have continued to thread the needle with respect to our daily options ideas this week, with only a small fraction of missteps. Yesterday morning in our premarket report, we formulated and passed along a set of three potential options trading targets to our readers.

We were targeting the ADBE Weekly $460-452.50 Puts, the GIS 04/14 $62.50 Calls, and the BZ 04/14 $25-30 Calls, and they all put forth notable upward movement on the day. Here were the total possible profits on the table in these plays:

 24.10-41.80 (+73%)

4-Pack of Fresh Options Plays

Options Recaps: 

Another day, another set of winning options ideas! We stick to this pattern because it produces results, and like usual, we put together some ideas for yesterday morning’s premarket report that enjoyed solid intraday performances.

The two sets of targets that turned in winning cards on the day were the SPY 12/06 $453-454 Calls, and the SAIC Weekly $85-90 Calls. The gains in the SAIC chain didn’t astonish, but they were very respectable, while the SPY calls ripped for big multibag gains. All in all, our targets provided plenty of opportunity for traders to bank quick intraday profits.

SPY 12/06 $453-454 Calls
$453: 2.86-7.61 (+166%)
$454: 2.27-6.78 (+199%)

SAIC Weekly $85-90 Calls
$85: 3.60-5.20 (+44%)
$90: 1.20-2.15 (+79%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

We had another interesting set of earnings reporters today, which led us to these three sets of ideas, and we decided to roll with the SPY and formulate some more possible targets there. But be advised that those SPY contracts will expire tomorrow at market close.

SPY 12/08 $460 Calls
MDB Weekly $520 Calls
COUP Weekly $170-160 Puts

Heading Into a Crowded Earnings Period

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) Update

We are continuing to track the SPY options we signaled on Monday morning, which brought solid gains, as we reported yesterday. Our targets, the SPY Weekly $319-320 Calls registered 93% and 110% moves, respectively.

Yesterday, they underwent a dip-and-rip, creating another opportunity for those who may have missed the first. Here are the daily ranges on our tracked contracts, which should also be setting new highs once again today, if the premarket activity we’re seeing is any indicator:

SPY Weekly $319-320 Calls 
$319: 1.08-3.23 (+199%)
$320: .75-2.68 (+257%)

Fresh Ideas:

We’re just getting through a period of extremely thin options reporting, but we have finally reached the point where it will all begin to turn around. We have just a couple interesting reporters today, but starting tomorrow we should have plenty more targets to choose from. Several big names are slated to drop earnings over the next week.

GS Weekly $217.50-222.50 Calls
INFY Weekly $11-12 Calls
