Before the Report - Trading Pre-Earnings Momentum with the Five Star System

Most traders wait for the earnings headline. The better move often starts weeks earlier, when expectations build, institutions quietly position, and the stocks move in anticipation before the report ever hits.

In this session, Danielle Shay, VP of Options at Simpler Trading, breaks down pre-earnings momentum: why it shows up again and again, and how she uses the earnings calendar to time it instead of chasing the news to trade options. You’ll see how she puts her custom Earnings Hot Zone tool and Five Star Ranking System to work to identify swing trades in the stock market. She marks the window into a report, scores a name’s history, and separates stocks with a real pattern of rallying into earnings to find tradeable ideas using the earnings calendar.

Leave with a clearer, more systematic way to approach earnings season, before the crowd shows up.

Options traders take note and join me to learn how to find stocks in the Hot Zone.
