Friday’s Results, 3 Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Targets:

Things turned out pretty well on Friday for the possible options plays we were tracking in our premarket report. Despite going bullish on the SPY and getting head-faked by a late morning announcement, there was still some met on the bone right out of the starting gate. The rest of our tracked ideas also fared pretty well.

Our slate for the session consisted of the SPY 10/10 $671-672 Calls, the APLD Weekly $37-38 Calls, and the APOG 10/17 $40 Calls. Here were the best upswings we observed in each of them:

Options Updates, 5 New Ideas

Various Options Recaps:

We fared reasonably well with regard to options yesterday. In out premarket report, both of the short term plays we signaled interest in produced sizable intraday runs. Those were the DPZ Weekly $387.50-392.50 Calls, and the SPY 07/24 $452-453 Calls. We had another idea with an August expiration that didn’t produce instant results. However, a set of August calls in another chain that we’ve been tracking since our report a few Mondays ago on the 10th, the PLCE 08/18 $25 Calls, have gone on to hit new highs.

The gains for the DPZ and SPY Calls below are obviously from yesterday’s session only, while the figures for the PLCE Calls represent their increase over the past two weeks.

DPZ Weekly $387.50-392.50 Calls
$387.50: 4.51-10.41 (+131%)
$390: 3.29-9.09 (+176%)

SPY Gains, Longer-Term Plays on the Move

SPY Gains, Longer-Term Plays Popping:

In terms of our options trading ideas from yesterday morning’s premarket report, we saw rather unimpressive performances from a couple of our ideas. However, our laser-like accuracy in dealing with the SPY continued in spades with the SPY 05/11 $402-404 Calls, so we’ve got the figures on those for you this morning.

We will also circle back around to a couple of the longer-term sets of ideas we made last week which have made some very impressive moves for us so far, and don’t expire until the end of next week. We signaled possible plays in the EL 05/20 $250-230 Puts and the FTNT 05/20 $290-310 Calls on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively, and each of them has produced major moves, which were as follows:

SPY 05/11 $402-404 Calls
$402: 1.64-4.81 (+193%)
$403: 1.40-4.25 (+204%)
$404: 1.20-3.75 (+213%)

EL 05/20 $250-230 Puts
