Midweek Options Movers, 3 Fresh Ideas

Four for Five on Tuesday:

Our performance for yesterday’s session turned out to be an extremely solid one, with our premarket report containing five potential options targets, four of which posted really good results on the day. Most were puts, and with the help of a crummy day for the markets, the opportunities were not in short supply.

Our winning ideas for the day were the MKC 10/20 $75-70 Puts, the ABNB Weekly $135-133 Puts, the NVDA Weekly $445-447.50 Calls and the SOXL Weekly $19.50-18.50 Puts. We’re also going to include figures from the RIVN Weekly $25-23 Puts we signaled on Monday and updated in yesterday’s report, because of the impressive new highs they tacked on:

4 Fresh Earnings-Related Options Plays

Solid Options Review: 

Things have gone rather well for us so far this week, with respect to our daily options targets. We had another good session on Tuesday, wherein each of the weekly sets of contracts we signaled interest in tracking, produced intraday upswings of a significant magnitude. We had one longer-term play on ALC which did not experience a big move, but we will likely be coming back to it sometime in the weeks ahead prior to its expiration.

The selections we made with weekly expirations, however, did post some good single-session rips. They were the TSLA Weekly $207.50-210 Calls, the ZM Weekly $76-78 Calls, and the WDAY Weekly $187.50-182.50 Puts, and here’s the breakdown of the kind of profits that were on the table for traders on Tuesday:

TSLA Weekly $207.50-210 Calls
$207.50:
 5.80-8.15 (+41%)
$210: 4.80-6.90 (+44%)
_____

ZM Weekly $76-78 Calls
$76:
 .92-2.16 (+135%)
$77: .70-1.68 (+140%)
$78: .50-1.27 (+154%)
_____

WDAY Weekly $187.50-182.50 Puts
$187.50: 2.37-4.15 (+75%)
