Why this exists

Earnings are the biggest scheduled single-day risk in a stock. Whether you hold through, trade the reaction or stand aside, the decision should come from a written rule and not from the headline.

This program is built on 3,213 earnings reactions across 140 liquid U.S. stocks (January 2021 to October 2026). We show you what the data says and where it is limited, including survivorship and hindsight. Nothing here is presented as an edge.

What the $997 version adds to the $297 course

Everything in The Earnings Gap Playbook is included. Then:

The expected move, in depth

How it is derived from option prices, how to compare it with actual reactions in the dataset, and its limits.

Options around earnings

IV crush explained, what defined-risk structures do and do not do, and why a correct guess about direction can still lose money.

Dataset workbook

Filter the 3,213 reactions by gap size, volume, trend and sector in a spreadsheet, with the survivorship and hindsight caveats written next to the numbers.

Peer and sector read-throughs

How one report moves peers, guidance vs. the headline numbers and reading the tape on reaction day.

Gap-fill and drift studies

What happens after day three, how often gaps fill in the dataset and what failed gaps look like.

150 reaction case studies (up from 40)

Real earnings reactions with notes, including the ones that failed.

Weekly Gap Watch report for two seasons

26 weekly reports through two earnings seasons: the reaction study for the week, the upcoming calendar and a rule-review prompt. Descriptive only.

Live season case-study sessions

Eight live sessions during earnings seasons walking through reactions as they happen; recordings posted.

Weekly Gap Watch Report

26 weeks covering two earnings seasons. The week's reaction study, the calendar ahead and a rule-review prompt. Descriptive only; no trade ideas.

Who it is for

  • You hold or trade stocks around earnings and want written rules
  • You like to see the data and its limits
  • You want a repeatable earnings-season routine

Who it is not for

  • You want trade alerts or a prediction of which way a stock will gap
  • You want a promise of results; nobody can give you one
  • You want a system presented as a proven edge

What it is not

The risks, stated plainly

Stocks can gap through any stop. The dataset is historical, selected to liquid stocks, and carries survivorship and hindsight limits. Options can lose their entire premium. Examples are past reactions chosen to teach and are not recommendations.
