Trade Alert: Selective Setups
Bullish options trades on one of our Top Names from Friday night and one of our Market Watchers names that both passed our additional technical screens.
Selective Setups From Our Strongest Screens
After a volatile week driven by war headlines, ceasefire chatter, and sharp moves in oil, we’re staying selective.
Friday night’s Top Names list gave us one fresh candidate that passed our RSI and Setup screens, and our Market Watchers workflow gave us one more name with enough growth and options torque to justify a shot. In both cases, the common thread is the same one we’ve been emphasizing lately: we’re not interested in forcing trades just because a stock moved or a story sounds interesting. We want names that screen well, have a plausible catalyst path over the next few months, and give us options structures we can enter at prices that make sense.
How We’re Playing It
So today we’re taking two shots.
The first is a discount retailer that reported strong results recently and still offers decent upside if the consumer backdrop stays resilient. The second is an advanced-battery name tied to aviation, defense, and high-performance energy storage, where the growth story is stronger but the stock is more speculative.
As usual, we estimated fair values on the options structures first and then aimed to enter them at discounts to those values. That means we may not get filled. But over time, we’d rather miss a trade than overpay for one.
