Monday’s Runners, 6-Pack of New Ideas

Good Start to the Week:

Things went rather well for us to start the fresh trading week yesterday. Our premarket report contained three short term and one longer term idea, and the three quick-strike plays all delivered. This was despite having a shallow pool of earnings reporters, and having to improvise in terms of the targets. We shouldn’t have that issue today, with a full slate on the earnings calendar and a lot more interesting things happening.

As for yesterday’s fresh plays, here we have the intraday figures on the SPY 10/23 $421-420 Puts, the AAPL Weekly $172.50-170 Puts, and the AA Weekly $24-23.50 Puts:

Options Updates, 5 New Ideas

Various Options Recaps:

We fared reasonably well with regard to options yesterday. In out premarket report, both of the short term plays we signaled interest in produced sizable intraday runs. Those were the DPZ Weekly $387.50-392.50 Calls, and the SPY 07/24 $452-453 Calls. We had another idea with an August expiration that didn’t produce instant results. However, a set of August calls in another chain that we’ve been tracking since our report a few Mondays ago on the 10th, the PLCE 08/18 $25 Calls, have gone on to hit new highs.

The gains for the DPZ and SPY Calls below are obviously from yesterday’s session only, while the figures for the PLCE Calls represent their increase over the past two weeks.
