Starting Off the Week on a High Note: 

We hopped back into the saddle to kick off the fresh trading week yesterday morning, and we certainly got off on the right foot. We offered three separate options trading ideas for our readers in our premarket report, The results that those returned were not earth shattering, but still, every single contrqact we signaled experienced respectable intraday moves.

Our areas of interest were the MRNS 04/14 $10-9 Puts, the PCOR 04/14 $60-65 Calls , and the PDD Weekly $44-46 Calls. As we mentioned above, the gains aren’t going to send anyone off to an early retirement, but they were more than sufficient for an honest day’s pay.
