Closing Out a Short Yet Sweet Trading Week

Wednesday’s Options Runners:

We were running a little light yesterday with regard to the slate of earnings reporters from which we had to choose some daily options plays, but that didn’t stop us from producing a pair of solid runners on the day in our premarket report. Both of the ideas we ventured possible targets in, recorded some significant intraday movement for us in a positive direction.

Our areas of interest were the SMPL 04/21 $40-35 Puts, and the DLO 04/21 $16-15 Puts, and while the potential gains they produced weren’t life-changing, they were certainly very respectable, as they put up the following figures for the session:

SMPL 04/21 $40-35 Puts
$40:
 3.30-4.50 (+36%)
$35: .30-.75 (+150%)
_____

DLO 04/21 $16-15 Puts
$16:
 1.32-3.70 (+180%)
$15: .65-3.00 (+362%)

STZ Weekly $220-225 Calls*
LEVI 04/21 $18 Puts
LW 04/21 $105 Calls
BA 05/05 $220-210 Puts

*We do not recommend you try to trade options on their day of expiration unless you are an experienced trader with access to disposable funds.

Clean Options Sweep: 

We brought the heat in yesterday morning’s premarket report, in which we hashed out a selection of four potential options plays based off of earnings, and we were really pleased with the results.

Big Options Gainers, New Earnings Plays

Huge SPY Gains & More: 

Yesterday’s trading session was one of extremes. The markets gapped up before dipping early, and running into the Fed meeting, after which there was another precipitous drop-off followed by a late day run into the close. It was a choppy and exciting session, and that late rally pushed the SPY Calls we highlighted in our premarket report to some major league moves.

Those potential plays were the SPY 01/04 $382-383 Calls, and we got some decent intraday push from our other set of targets, the SGH 01/20 $15-17.50 Calls as well. Here were the intraday ranges and total possible gains to be had for both ideas, as well as some new highs on the PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls we’ve been on since December 20th:

SPY 01/04 $382-383 Calls
$382:
 .17-2.24 (+1218%)
$383: .04-.99 (+2375%)
_____

SGH 01/20 $15-17.50 Calls
$15: 1.05-1.55 (+48%)
$17.50: .15-.30 (+100%)

PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls
$35: 1.03-2.79 (+171%)

Friday’s Big Movers, Slate of Fresh Plays

Friday’s Big Winners:

First thing’s first- we can’t kick off a fresh trading week without first circling back to our slate of options ideas that we included in Friday morning’s premarket report. We served up a grouping of five separate ideas for our readers, and there were excellent chances for intraday gains pretty much all the way across the board.

We had put a pin into the SPY 11/18 $395-397 Calls, the JD Weekly $57.50-59 Calls, the ROST Weekly $111-114 Calls, the PANW Weekly $166.67-172.50 Calls, and the FL Weekly $36.50-38 Calls.

Friday’s Big Winners, Fresh SPY Plays

Huge Close to Last Week:

We closed out the trading week on Friday in a big way, with both of the sets of October options targets that we signaled going on to record some quite substantial moves and total possible gains for anyone who was tracking the plays we highlighted. Additionally, we had more new highs in the STZ Puts we’d been tracking from the session, as well as a massive move from another play from Thursday morning.
