Earnings Stress

The Catalyst Catcher

📊 Swing Trader 📅 0 years old (Born 2026)

"Earnings create a volatility vortex. Within 5 days of a report, every crash is amplified by uncertainty. Add credit stress and that uncertainty becomes opportunity."

A researcher who cross-references SEC EDGAR filing dates with credit spread data. Times crash-bounce entries within the ±5 day earnings window — when stock-specific and macro fear collide.

📜 Why This Strategy Works

Earnings create a volatility vortex. Within 5 days of a report, every crash is amplified by uncertainty. Add credit stress and that uncertainty becomes opportunity.

📖 Historical Origin

Origin: WB Pro Phase 4 — Earnings proximity data fusion. Near Earnings (±5 days) + Credit>P75. Stocks crash harder near earnings when credit is stressed — but they also bounce harder.

📖 Understanding Score & Momentum columns
📊 Score — Lifetime Quality Score
Measures how well this strategy+symbol combination has performed across the entire simulation history. Based on return, win rate, drawdown control, profit factor, and trade count. Higher is better.
75+ Elite   60+ Good   40+ Fair   <40 Weak
⚡ Mom — 30-Day Momentum Score
Measures performance over the last 30 days only. Same quality model but calibrated for short-term activity. Captures recent regime shifts that the lifetime score may miss.
75+ Hot   60+ Active   40+ Moderate   <40 Quiet
Spread Indicators — Comparing Mom vs Score reveals regime sensitivity:
🔥 Heating Up — Mom is 20+ points above Score. This symbol is performing significantly better recently than its lifetime average. Could indicate a favorable regime shift.
🧊 Cooling Off — Mom is 20+ points below Score. This symbol is underperforming recently despite a strong lifetime track record. Could indicate an unfavorable regime shift.
No icon = Steady — Scores within ±20 points. Consistent performance.
