Friday’s 5 Winners, 5 New Ideas

Friday’s Major Movers:

We were very happy with the way we closed things out for the week on Friday. Our daily premarket report contained a slate of six potential plays, and of those, five produced big time intraday moves for us. We even had one set of contracts in our targeted ideas that surpassed an intraday upswing of 1200% All in all, it was a fantastic session filled with considerable opportunities.

Our movers for the day were the AMZN Weekly $123-126 Calls, the INTC Weekly $34-35 Calls, the CVX Weekly $155-150 Puts, the SPY 10/27 $413-414 Calls and the SNY 11/17 $50-45 Puts.

Big Moves Thursday, 6-Pack of Fresh Plays

Wrapping Up a Great Trading Week:

This has been one heck of an options trading week for us. With plenty of earnings reporters to take advantage of, we have been knocking homers out of the park daily, and yesterday was no exception. We floated five potential plays in our premarket report, and the four with their expiration set for today produced big intraday moves. We’ll also have a nice big slate with both quick-strike, and longer-term interests for today, so it should be an interest close to a fantastic trading week.

Yesterday’s movers and shakers were the META Weekly $290-285 Puts, the IBM Weekly $137-139 Calls, the NOW Weekly $547.50-555 Calls, and the BMY Weekly $55-53 Puts, and here were the types of intraday moves they made, and the total possible gains those presented:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Wrapping Up Big Week for Options

Options Review

We included a pair of options ideas in yesterday’s premarket report, and scored multi-bag hits on both accounts.

We were banking on a third straight bullish day for the markets with our SPY idea, and betting that the huge premarket gap-up on SFIX was unsustainable. In both cases we were correct, and it provided us with the following opportunities:

SPDR S&P500 ETF (SPY) Weekly $283-284 Calls
$283 Calls – Range:
.98-2.81  – Max Gain: 187%
$284 Calls – Range: .57-2.00 – Max Gain: 251%

Today we will be looking to roll up our strike price on the SPY and tracking the SPY Weekly $285-286 Calls*.

Stitch Fix, Inc. SFIX Weekly $31-30 Puts
$30 Puts – Range: 1.40-3.22 – Max Gain: 130%

*Never trade weekly options on Friday, unless you are an advanced level trader with access to disposable funds!


At Home Group, Inc. HOME

HOME just missed on earnings and received an analyst downgrade, but on the hunch that the resultant gap-down was based on overreaction, we’re going to radar a set of contracts in the HOME chain to monitor in the event of a rebound. There is an enormous gap now sitting on the chart just waiting to be filled. We’ll have plenty of time to see that happen with the HOME 09/20 $8-10 Calls.
