Massive Monday Recap, 5-Pack of New Ideas

Excellent Start to the Week:  

We got the trading week off to exactly the kind of start we like yesterday, with a slate of big name options ideas in our premarket report. We were on fire, formulating four fresh plays, all of which not only posted big moves yesterday but look to be poised for another session of gains. That won’t stop us from generating a whole new list of fresh ideas for today though, and we have some big earnings reports coming down the pipe.

Yesterday’s big runners, which again, would surprise us if they didn’t tack on new highs today, were the PANW Weekly $230-237.50 Calls, the SPY 08/21 $436-437 Calls, the NVDA Weekly $440-445 Calls, and the TSLA Weekly $217.50-222.50 Calls. As you can see, everything worked out swimmingly for the session, with the following intraday figures:

Major Movers from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Options Runners: 

We are ready to kick off another great week of trading, and as always, our first order of business is going to be to rehash our ideas from Friday and see what kind of noise they made for us. We were right down the middle with two bullish and two bearish ideas. The markets posted mainly a positive session, but that didn’t stop our shorts from recording solid gains as well.

Our fresh targets for the day were the TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls, the AXP Weekly $162.50-165 Calls, the CL 02/17 72.50-70 Puts and the INTC Weekly $28-27 Puts. It appears we may have erred in the strikes on our TSLA Calls, with the $162.50’s being the only contract set in the range we listed, so we’ll just list the gains made there, which were quite considerable. The rest of our ideas also posted some excellent runs for the session:

TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls
$162.50:
 1.55-18.05 (+1064%)
_____

AXP Weekly $162.50-165 Calls
