Thursday’s Runners, Potential Friday Plays

Thursday’s Top Plays:

We fared rather well with the options targets we selected in yesterday morning’s premarket report, having formulated four possible plays, and being answered with significant intraday moves in three of the four. We call those pretty good odds, and will do our best to continue this run through the end of this short trading week and beyond.

As for yesterday’s winning areas of interest, we’re talking about the SPY 09/09 $397.50-396 Puts, the GME Weekly $27-26 Puts, and the BILI Weekly $20.50-21.50 Calls. The SPY targets had the most potential for intraday trades by far, but all of the opportunities we observed were noteworthy.

$397.50: 1.17-3.85 (+229%)

Friday’s Options Perfection, Fresh Idea for the SPY

Friday’s Options Review: 

The markets got absolutely crushed to close out the week on Friday, so it was fortunate that the majority of the plays that we offered up as intraday trading ideas were on the bearish side of the fence. However, the one set of calls that we rode with also bucked the trend and posted some huge gains, so we swept the board with a perfect performance on the day.

Our particular targets for the day were the BABA Weekly $110-113 Calls, the DOCU Weekly $68-65 Puts, the SPY 06/10 $400-398 Puts, and the SFIX Weekly $7-6.50 Puts. The potential profits produced by these plays did not disappoint. Those figures were as follows:

BABA Weekly $110-113 Calls
$110: 
.27-.95 (+252%)
$111: .09-.49 (+444%)
$112: .03-.27 (+800%)
$113: .01-.14 (+1300%)
_____

DOCU Weekly $68-65 Puts
$68: .91-3.70 (+307%)
$67: .54-3.00 (+455%)
$66: .36-2.20 (+511%)
$65: .20-1.50 (+650%)
_____

SPY 06/10 $400-398 Puts
$400: 5.24-11.00 (+110%)
$399: 4.57-9.28 (+103%)
$398: 3.88-8.31 (+114%)
_____

SFIX Weekly $7-6.50 Puts

$7.00: .05-.25 (+400%)
$6.50: .20-.55 (+175%)


Fresh Options Idea:

As we mentioned at the outset of last week, we’re heading into a very thin and spotty time in terms of big name earnings reporters, which are typically our daily bread and butter for quick-strike options trading opportunities. In times like these, we usually rely upon playing daily SPY targets. Today we’re going to look at the SPY 06/13 $385-383 Puts.

Options Recap, 4 Fresh Ideas & More

Thursday’s Options Review: 

We’re ready to wrap up another trading week today, and it was a heck of solid one for us on the options front. We were bearish on most of our highlighted ideas for the day, and the markets took a serious dive in the second half of the session, which facilitated some kind gains. However, our one bullish target bucked the overall trend and delivered some notable intraday moves as well, so all in all it was a pretty good outing.

The winning targets that we were focusing our attention upon were the SIG Weekly $65-67 Calls, the BILI Weekly $27.50-26.50 Puts, and the NIO Weekly $20.50-19.50 Puts. The potential gains they yielded for the session were very respectable, and went as follows:

Options Review: 

As usual, we’re going to make our first order of business this morning, the highlighting of our options plays from Friday and what was performing. Three out of the five sets of ideas we formulated in Friday morning’s premarket report recorded notable intraday gains for us.

Those winning targets were the DOCU Weekly $190-175 Puts, the SMAR Weekly $65-70 Calls, and the MRVL Weekly $79-85 Calls. and while the gains weren’t earth-shattering, there were certainly plenty of strong intraday profit chances which could have been seized upon, to the tune of the following moves:

DOCU Weekly $190-175 Puts
$190:
 35.01-58.12 (+66%)
$185: 29.82-53.30 (+79%)
