Monday’s Movers, 5 New Possibilities

A Good Start to the Week:

The trading week got off to a very pleasant start for us yesterday, and continued the big success we had with our picks on Friday. In our premarket report, we included a selection of four potential options trading targets, and, unsurprisingly, all four of them recorded some nice intraday upswings.

We were looking at the TSN Weekly $57-59 Calls, the CAT Weekly $325-330 Calls, the NDVA Weekly $675-682.50 Calls and the EL Weekly $155-160 Calls. They all produced solid opportunities, and only the EL Calls fell short of multi-bag status on the day:

Top Marks Tuesday, Fresh Earnings Plays

Yesterday’s Options Movers:  

We made some good picks for yesterday morning’s premarket report, coming up with four options trading ideas based off of the day’s earnings calendar. It was a mixed bag of calls and puts, and we fared pretty well with the whole lot of them. We’re still in the position of being right in the thick of an active quarterly earnings season, and attempting to take full advantage.

Yesterday’s four plays that turned out to be solid intraday runners were the DDOG Weekly $88-85 Puts, the UPS Weekly $172.50-175 Calls, the LLY Weekly $490-500 Calls, and the IFF 08/18 $65-60 Puts. The gains we observed, which ranged from reasonably strong to very good, on those ideas were as follows:

DDOG Weekly $88-85 Puts
$88: 
2.32-4.00 (+72%)
$87: 1.73-3.35 (+94%)

Another Perfect Options Performance, 4 New Plays

Massive Options Gainers:

We’re closing things out this week on a very strong note, with yesterday’s session delivering us incredible across-the-board success on the options ideas we designated for observation in our premarket report. It was the third straight day that every single fresh idea we’ve put forth has returned with excellent intraday performances.

In addition to all three of our selections, the META Weekly $232.50-237.50 Calls, the  LLY Weekly $382.50-387.50 Calls and the MRK Weekly $114-116 Calls, we also saw some amazing new highs in the MSFT Weekly $295-300 Calls that we flagged on Wednesday morning. The figures for those will represent their two day overall runs, while the numbers on yesterday’s ideas obviously represent single session intraday moves.  Ultimately, the major success of the day was definitely our MRK targets, which experienced monumental gains ranging from 2400-3400%
