What This Signal Means

Earnings announcements are the single largest source of overnight gap risk for option sellers. A stock can move 5–15% in either direction after earnings — often exceeding or falling short of what implied volatility predicted. This signal flags tickers with earnings within 14 days so you can either avoid them entirely, close existing positions before the report, or deliberately trade the IV crush with defined-risk strategies like iron condors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are pre-earnings tickers risky for premium sellers?

Earnings reports create overnight gap risk that cannot be managed intraday. A stock might drop 10% on a miss, and your short put could go deep in-the-money before markets open. This is why most premium sellers either close positions before earnings or use defined-risk strategies.

Can I still sell premium on pre-earnings tickers?

Yes, but use defined-risk strategies like iron condors or credit spreads. The IV crush after earnings can be profitable, but only if the stock stays within your expected move range. Never sell naked options into earnings.

How does VolRadar detect earnings dates?
