Win Streak Review, 3 New Chances

A Winning Wednesday:

We were in pretty good shape on all of our potential targets from our premarket report yesterday. We were hoping to keep our massive streak going for another day, and managed that feat with no issues. Nobody can be perfect all the time, so it makes the fact that we’re closing in on 20 trading days without a miss all the more special to us. We will try our very best to come through these next two days clean, so we can wear that one month crown!

Yesterday’s suggestions were the TGT Weekly $162.50-165 Calls, the TJX Weekly $117-119 Calls, and the KEYS 09/20 $155-160 Calls. Here were the largest intraday upswings from each of those targets:

Kicking Off Another Trading Week, New Plays

Recapping Friday’s Performance :

We posted good numbers all week last week, and that trend was unchanged for the options trading ideas we offered up in Friday morning’s premarket report. We had ventured possible strike areas in three separate chains, and came back with some favorable results on the day. Even on days where the earnings calendar doesn’t provide us with many opportunities, we always seem to manage.

That trio of plays from Friday consisted of the ULTA Weekly $425-427.50 Calls, the AFRM Weekly $14-15 Calls, and the HIBB 09/15 $40 Calls. Here were the intraday runs we witnessed in each of the contract sets therein:

ULTA Weekly $425-427.50 Calls
$425: 1.37-3.39 (+147%)
$427.50: .90-2.10 (+133%)
_____

AFRM Weekly $14-15 Calls
$14: 1.08-4.25 (+293%)
$14.50: .77-3.62 (+370%)
$15: .47-3.21 (+583%)
_____

HIBB 09/15 $40 Calls
$40: 5.00-6.50 (+30%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

The landscape for interesting high profile earnings reporters is essentially barren today, but we’re going to be tracking the following plays in TSLA and the SPY, a couple of chains that we’ve relied upon for big gains many times before.

TSLA Weekly $240-245 Calls
SPY 08/28 $440-442 Calls*

*Trading contracts on their day of expiration should only be attempted by experienced traders

Earnings-Related Options Ideas & More

Monday’s Options Review:

We kicked off the week in solid form in our premarket report yesterday morning, despite lacking a large slate of earnings reporters off of which to base our daily ideas. All three of the quick-strike options targets we offered up for the day turned in winning cards. We had a much longer term with a June expiration as well, but we can come back for those at a later date.

In the meantime, our fresh targets to kick things off on Monday morning were the SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls, the MNDY Weekly $145-155 Calls, and the SHAK Weekly $66-67 Calls and here are the numbers thy put up for us on the session:

SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls
$411: .59-2.48 (+320%)
$412: .28-1.58 (+464%)

MNDY Weekly $145-155 Calls
$145: 4.00-9.40 (+135%)

7-Day Win Streak, Fresh Plays

Another Perfect Run:

We offered up a mixed bag in terms of bears and bulls on our list of fresh options ideas from yesterday morning’s premarket report, and the session for the markets as a whole experienced a similar kind of day. That helped out with generating the kind of volatile activity that can be a boon to day traders. Once again, we swept the board with all of our daily options targets, which goes down in the books as our 7TH consecutive trading day without a single flat prospect.

Yesterday’s ideas were the CVS Weekly $73-71 Puts, the EL 05/19 $220-210 Puts and the KHC Weekly $40-41 Calls. The KHC Calls were definitely the big standouts for the day, but there were some really nice moves in the other plays as well. Here’s how it all shook out for the session:
