⚠️ $META
: “EARNINGS BEAT” DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN “BUY.”

My post-report decision process:

✅ Read the results.
✅ Read forward guidance and spending plans.
✅ Check whether the price reaction agrees with the thesis.

For an illustrative bullish setup, I would look for the first regular session's opening 30-minute high to break, then hold on a retest. A failed retest cancels that idea.

If the stock opens sharply higher and fades, I would reassess instead of assuming the dip is a bargain.

Before entering: define the exit, size the risk and account for fees and slippage. Options add expiry and volatility risks; a correct directional view can still lose money.

No clear setup is also a decision.

What would change your mind fastest: weaker guidance, higher spending or a failed breakout?
