An earnings release is an official report issued by a publicly traded company at regular intervals—most commonly quarterly or annually. It contains key financial data that shows how the company performed during the given period.

Why Earnings release?

Being in a position during an earnings release is not ideal for our strategy. The period shortly before, during, and immediately after the announcement often brings a significant spike in volatility, which can lead to sharp price movements. While this volatility can result in quick gains, it can just as easily trigger a steep drop and activate a stop-loss.

Since it’s very difficult to predict how the market will react to the earnings report, we consider it more prudent to avoid holding a position during this time in order to minimize unnecessary risk.
