📝 How to Trade Earnings Without Gambling
Holding a position through an earnings call without a defined plan is a flip of a coin. Implied volatility (IV) crush after the report can wipe out options premiums, even if you guessed the direction right.
💡 3-Step Rule for Earnings:
1. Avoid holding oversized positions right before the announcement.
2. Focus on forward guidance, not just "beat or miss" numbers.
3. Look for post-earnings drift (PEAD) trends 24-48 hours after the report.
