Earnings-Event Decision Tool

Run the decision model

Before earnings, the trader is paying or collecting event volatility. Waiting can reduce volatility risk but may miss the gap. The right comparison depends on strategy, max risk, expected move, IV crush, liquidity, and portfolio exposure.

Transparent model: scoring combines reward-to-risk, expected value, portfolio risk, liquidity, volatility/catalyst pressure, and data completeness. The output is educational, not individualized advice.
