Playing the SPY Like a Fiddle, 3 Potential Plays

Recap of Thursday’s Activity:

We don’t typically give such detailed predictions for daily market machinations as we did in our premarket report yesterday, but things played out essentially just like we expected. We mentioned that after the huge late-day rally on Wednesday, we were “anticipating the SPY to pare some of those gains early, before seeing another bounce”, and that’s just what we saw. With market volatility being what it is, we’ll continue sticking close to the SPY, just going off of our gut and the direction of the wind each morning to formulate our daily targets.

Here’s how that strategy worked out for yesterday’s SPY targets, the SPY 04/10 $532-534 Calls. We have the best intraday moves from our other idea, the KMX 04/17 $77.50-72.50 Puts as well.

A Winning Wednesday, Trio of Fresh Targets

Five for Five on Wednesday:

Wednesday’s session went swimmingly for us, with some really good intraday upswings coming from the options contracts we signaled for tracking in our premarket report for the day. We had hashed out five potential targets, and saw the needle move in a big way on all five. Things become really straightforward for us in the thick of an earnings season, and in recent weeks we’ve have tons of reporters off of which we base our intraday trade ideas.

Yesterday’s chosen targets were the KHC Weekly $35.50-34.50 Puts, the AKAM Weekly $120 Puts, the SONY Weekly $96-98 Calls, the SPY 02/14 $495-496 Calls and the ABNB Weekly $146-145 Puts. The upswings they produced were as follows:

Tuesday’s Perfect Performance, Fresh Plays

A Perfect Day for Options:

After an admittedly disappointing outing on Monday, we bounced back yesterday morning with a vengeance. We gathered ourselves quickly and issued four new potential trading ideas in our premarket report, and were not displeased with the results.

Our new interests were the SPY 07/11 $439-441 Calls, the INTU Weekly $460-465 Calls, the WDFC 07/21 $200-210 Calls, and the PSMT 07/21 $75 Puts. The gain chances they afforded us ranged from pretty darn good, to astounding, as you can see below:
