A Terrific Tuesday, 4 New Targets

Tuesday’s Big Runners:

After sweeping the board on Monday, we came in with another slate of earning-based options trading ideas yesterday morning, and knocked them all out of the park as well. It has been an exceedingly promising start to the trading week, and figures to continue, with the onslaught of mega-cap earnings on the calendar for the remainder of the week. We’ve always found the volatility that results from that is the best way to find rapid upswings, and yesterday’s ideas certainly confirmed that.

We were looking at the LLY Weekly $780-785 Calls, the MCD Weekly $272.50-267.50 Puts, the MMM Weekly $97-98 Calls, and the ETN 05/17 $330-340 Calls. Here were the biggest intraday moves they recorded for the Tuesday session:

Wednesday’s Winners, 5 Fresh Options Ideas

Recap of Wednesday’s Plays:

We fared quite well with our designated options interests yesterday, despite the majority having been bearish ideas, and the markets experiencing another bullish session. We had a few trend-buckers on our hands, some of which ran harder than our one bullish play. We aren’t particular about how we make things happen, as long as they happen! That made our third straight day without missing on an idea, with the chance at another flawless week- something we have already achieved this year.
