Earnings Calendar

What it is

Who reports and when, with the confirmations you need to plan around the volatility.

What it shows

The Earnings Calendar lists upcoming earnings reports with pre-earnings options flow data layered in, so you can see whether institutional money is positioning ahead of the report.

• Report Date & Timing: Shows when the company reports and whether it is before market open (BMO) or after market close (AMC).
• Expected Move: Calculated from the ATM straddle price for the nearest expiration after earnings. This is the market's implied estimate of how much the stock could move in either direction — not a direction prediction, a magnitude estimate.
• Pre-Earnings Flow: Unusual options activity detected for that ticker in the days leading up to the report. Heavy call buying = bullish positioning. Heavy put buying = hedging or bearish bet. Large sweeps or blocks = institutional conviction.

Workflow: trading into earnings

1. Check the Earnings Calendar — identify mega-cap or large-cap reports 3–5 days ahead.
2. Run the ticker through Ticker Search — is unusual flow building pre-earnings?
3. Note the Expected Move — this tells you if options are cheap or expensive for a directional bet.
4. Check the Economic Calendar — is there a macro event near the earnings date that could amplify or dampen the move?
5. Size down or stay in cash through binary events unless you have a clear flow-backed thesis.
