Earnings options flow and trade ideas
What the options are pricing into the print — versus what the stock has actually done.
The interesting earnings edge isn't the calendar, it's the mispricing. TickerDesk compares each name's implied move to its historically realized move, measures post-report drift, reads the options flow going into the print, and turns it into rule-based, self-graded trade ideas for names with real size.
Idea types
- Momentum into print — leaders with bullish flow and positive historical post-report drift.
- Post-report drift — the after-the-print trade, no binary overnight risk.
- Vol rich / vol cheap — implied move well above or below the realized history.
- Binary caution — big typical mover already extended into the event.
Ideas are capped to $1B+ market caps and every type carries its own graded track record. Nothing publishes a hit rate before it has 30 real graded outcomes.
