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.

SPY 04/10 $532-534 Calls
$532: .52-2.74 (+427%)

Monday’s Runners, 3 Fresh Plays

Monday Review:

We were running a little light yesterday morning with respect to our our premarket report, having highlighted just a pair of potential options targets. We went with one set of weeklies, and a longer-term play, and our short-term set put up some good numbers right out of the gate.

Those big movers were the ON Weekly $73-74 Calls. We also want to swing back around for one of last week’s longer-term ideas that came to fruition, the SAP 11/15 $230-240 Calls. The figures presented there will be the lows following our alert on them last Tuesday, to yesterday morning’s highs.

Another Top Flight Session, 3 Fresh Plays

A Wicked Wednesday:

We really did our thing yesterday morning, going mostly bearish with the options ideas we offered up for our premarket report and receiving help from a troubled day for the markets.

SPY Cooks Again, Fresh Plays

Options Reviews:

Our primary mover of the day yesterday involved the SPY Calls that we signaled in yesterday morning’s premarket report. It was the second straight session in a row wherein the markets have put together extremely bullish performances, and that led to some serious gains in the targets we were tracking.

Those potential-filled plays were the SPY 10/05 $370-372 Calls which put forth some very solid daily runs for us. We also want to circle back for the FTNT 10/21 $45-50 Calls, which we slated for observation on Monday morning. Those too have produced notable gains so far as we head through this midweek. The trading ranges and potential gains on these plays have been as follows:

SPY 10/05 $370-372 Calls
$370: 4.28-8.53 (+99%)
