SPY Gains, Longer-Term Plays on the Move

SPY Gains, Longer-Term Plays Popping: 

In terms of our options trading ideas from yesterday morning’s premarket report, we saw rather unimpressive performances from a couple of our ideas. However, our laser-like accuracy in dealing with the SPY continued in spades with the SPY 05/11 $402-404 Calls, so we’ve got the figures on those for you this morning.

We will also circle back around to a couple of the longer-term sets of ideas we made last week which have made some very impressive moves for us so far, and don’t expire until the end of next week. We signaled possible plays in the EL 05/20 $250-230 Puts and the FTNT 05/20 $290-310 Calls on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively, and each of them has produced major moves, which were as follows:

SPY 05/11 $402-404 Calls
$402: 1.64-4.81 (+193%)
$403: 1.40-4.25 (+204%)
$404: 1.20-3.75 (+213%)

We are always very pleased when we can formulate multiple sets of options trading ideas for our readers, and have them all turn in winning cards on the day. Yesterday’s offering included three separate sets of ideas, and we saw considerable movement in everything across the board.

We were targeting the LOGI 02/18 $75-80 Calls, the BRO 02/18 $65-70 Calls, and the AXP Weekly $160-165 Calls in our premarket report, which all recorded very nice moves- particularly the BRO $65’s, which ran extremely hard right from the opening bell and rattled off a gain of more than 1500%

The rest of our ideas also performed quite well, with the following moves and total possible gains on the day: 

LOGI 02/18 $75-80 Calls
$75: 3.80-6.00 (+58%)
$80: 1.70-3.10 (+82%)
