The weeks around earnings season bring some of the biggest profit opportunities — but only if you know how to find these explosive moves.
This week, Barchart contributor Reynolde Jordan posted a brand-new video showing you exactly how to spot the best trading opportunities using Barchart's tools. To get ahead of the market's biggest moves, follow his 3-step cheat sheet:
Step #1: Start with the Earnings Screener
Use the Earnings Screener to find stocks set to report earnings in the next 7–14 days. Then, apply filters like:
- Volume > 1M, to find actively traded stocks
- Large & Mega Cap, to target the biggest companies
- Price/Earnings Ratio: Medium to High, to zero in on growth-focused plays
- Beta > 1.0, to spot the most volatile stocks
- RSI Readings, to find oversold or breakout setups
- TrendSeeker® and Barchart Opinion, our trend and momentum indicators
Step #2: Sort and Scan Smarter
Once you have your list, try sorting by:
- Volume (Most actively traded stocks)
- RSI (Overbought/Oversold conditions)
- Beta (Find high-movement stocks)
Tip: Use FlipCharts to scan through the charts visually and find setups you like!
Step #3: Plan the Trade with Expected Moves
Once you find a stock you like, dive into the Expected Move to plan your strategy:
- See the expected price range around earnings
- Gauge risk vs. reward
- Spot potential breakout zones
This is key for earnings trades — surprises happen fast, and the Expected Move gives you a professional-level forecast for setting targets.
