Chart Scan with Commentary: My Favorite Way to Trade Earnings Dates

Earnings reports enable me to be an occasional trader, in no way tied to a trading screen. In my semi-retirement, I trade only around earnings reports, which means I trade for a few days once each quarter when earnings are reported. That leaves me a lot of time for other activities.

I found that whenever the price of shares shoots up after earnings, I am able to get a second trade the day after prices react to the earnings report. The way I do it is through the strategies we use in out Instant Income Guaranteed program (IIG). Using Implied Volatility as described in the most recent issues of Chart Scan, and following with IIG the following day may be the perfect way to trade around earnings dates.

If share prices shoot up the day after the earnings report hits the market, why not sell some put options. Take a look at the following chart of U.S. Bancorp:

We see the volatility spike the day before earnings. We see that prices initially dropped but made a strong recovery by the end of the day. The next day prices continued the upward momentum from earnings day. Why not consider selling a $47 put if the premium is satisfactory? 

Let’s look at a recent IIG trade. We make these kinds of trades over and over again. They are not at all unusual.

QTNA Trade

On 5th February 2019 we gave our Instant Income Guaranteed subscribers the following trade on Quantenna Communications, Inc. (QTNA). Price insurance could be sold as follows:
  • On 6th February 2019, we sold to open QTNA Apr 18 2019 12.5P @ 0.20, with 72 days until expiration and our short strike about 22% below price action.
  • On 18th April 2019, QTNA Apr 18 2019 12.5P expired worthless
Whe.n On Semiconductor Corp (ON) announced a takeover of QTNA, our short strike was more than 45% below price action and it was pretty safe to let our option expire worthless.
 
Profit: 20$ per option
Margin: 250$
Return on Margin annualized: 41.13%

CME Group is aiming to make equity index futures trading more accessible to active traders through the launch of Micro E-mini futures on the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial Average indexes.

"Futures trading has been growing in popularity for active traders all over the world," says Tim McCourt, CME Group Global Head of Equity Index and Alternative Investment Products. "The smaller contract size of Micro E-mini equity index futures will make it easier to more nimbly execute a variety of equity trading strategies, while benefiting from the deep liquidity that CME Group markets offer around the clock."

Ambush extends its crazy rally in the Australian Dollar!

The Ambush trading method is specialised in catching intraday market tops and bottoms in a variety of Futures markets. Including the Australian Dollar Future (6A) traded at the CME, where Ambush Traders are having an amazing time so far in 2019.

Ambush day trades on an end-of-day basis so there’s no need to even check the markets during the day.

Some of you might remember the last time we had a look at the Aussie Dollar in February. Till then Ambush showed an amazing performance trading that currency in 2019. But how did things go on from there? Was it worth buying the Ambush eBook or signing up to Ambush Signals to take the following trades?

The answer is a clear YES. The 6A just kept on moving in tight ranges and has been trading between about 0.71 and 0.73 for the whole year now. Just perfect conditions for Ambush allowing the Australian Dollar to make new equity highs in its Ambush performance.

Marco Mayer shares trading success with Ambush Trading Method example trading education

That method still was able to capture some nice profits, often getting in at the top/bottom of a day’s range!

Once you realise that this isn’t that uncommon but that it’s exactly what the markets do most of the time don’t you want a strategy that works well under such conditions?

Where is the Australian Dollar going next? For sure to either the top or the bottom of the trading range it’s in. As Ambush Traders we don’t mind, we’ll be there ready to sell to or buy from the novice traders who’ll then accelerate our profits as they got to get out of their next losing trade.

Here’s the result of all of these trades, trading one Australian Dollar Index (6A) contract, including $10 commissions/slippage per trade. We’re up over $4000 in the Aussie Dollar now, and that’s just one of many markets Ambush covers!

Now if you’ve been on the other sides of these trades trying to buy the breakouts you maybe should think about switching sides!
