174: How To Trade Earnings Using Earnings-Watcher.com

Earnings season can be one of the biggest drivers of volatility in the stock market—and understanding how stocks behave around earnings is critical for options traders.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dan to talk about trading earnings and a tool he uses called Earnings Watcher. We break down the basics of volatility around earnings announcements, common patterns traders look for, and how Earnings Watcher helps stay organized while analyzing historical price and volatility behavior around earnings events.

Whether you actively trade earnings or just want a better understanding of how earnings impact the broader market, this conversation will help put the process into context.
