Major Movers from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Options Runners: 

We are ready to kick off another great week of trading, and as always, our first order of business is going to be to rehash our ideas from Friday and see what kind of noise they made for us. We were right down the middle with two bullish and two bearish ideas. The markets posted mainly a positive session, but that didn’t stop our shorts from recording solid gains as well.

Our fresh targets for the day were the TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls, the AXP Weekly $162.50-165 Calls, the CL 02/17 72.50-70 Puts and the INTC Weekly $28-27 Puts. It appears we may have erred in the strikes on our TSLA Calls, with the $162.50’s being the only contract set in the range we listed, so we’ll just list the gains made there, which were quite considerable. The rest of our ideas also posted some excellent runs for the session:

TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls

A Five-Pack of Fresh Trading Ideas

Solid Start to the Trading Week: 

We got this short week off to a good start yesterday morning as we alerted on four potential options plays, and considering our recent track record, it came as very little surprise to see some very nice intraday gain opportunities in all of them. We had earnings in the financial sector and some good premarket movement on TSLA, and the ideas we generated off of that led to some sizable runs in our designated targets.

Those interests were the GS Weekly $370-365 Puts, the SBNY Weekly $120 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $123-125 Calls, and the MARA Weekly $8.00-8.50 Calls. As we’re seeing TSLA gapping up again this morning in the premarket, we’re likely to see the gains on those contracts extended, and we’ll also go ahead and roll up to include some higher strikes with our fresh ideas for today. First, here’s the breakdown from yesterday’s activity:

GS Weekly $370-365 Puts
$370:
 6.00-25.75 (+329%)
$367.50: 4.55-23.00 (+405%)
$365: 3.30-26.65 (+707%)
_____

SBNY Weekly $120 Calls
$120: 7.60-9.40 (+24%)
_____

TSLA Weekly $123-125 Calls

$124: 4.40-8.70 (+98%)
$125: 3.90-7.92 (+103%)

Friday’s HUGE Runners, 4 Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Fantastic Four: 

Before we broke for the long weekend on Friday, we had highlighted our interest in tracking a selection of four sets of potential options plays. While three of those four were bearish ideas, they bucked the trend quite nicely for us. The markets gapped down in the morning and ripped for most of the day, going green around 1PM.  There were opportunities at various times during the session for all four of our targets.

The ideas in question were the JPM Weekly $139-136 Puts, the BAC Weekly $34.50-33.50 Puts, the C Weekly $48-49 Calls, and the TSLA Weekly $118-115 Puts. Most of the intraday runs we saw were considerable (including a couple of thousand percent+ gainers!) which you can see from the breakdown below:

We had targeted the SPY 01/12 $395-397 Calls, the TSM Weekly $82.50-85 Calls, and the CRWD 01/27 $98-99 Calls, and they all yielded excellent opportunities. The moves broke down as follows:

$395:
