Where the edge comes from
Earnings Aren’t Random - Behavior Clusters
Earnings volatility strategies have existed for decades — used by serious and professional traders — but research used to be scattered, data-scarce, and model-stale. We made it simple, intuitive, and modern — so you can apply a repeatable statistical edge week after week.
10+ years of behavior
Defined-risk structures
Process over signals
⚡ IV Behavior Into Earnings
TIMING
IV ramps into earnings, but not uniformly. Using statistical models, we track the window, peak, and rate — turning IV ramp into repeatable setup.
What traders do: buy straddles, strangles or calendar spreads to capture the IV ramp.
📊 Implied vs Realized Move
PRICING
Options price an implied move — your edge starts when history shows a consistent gap between
priced move and actual move.
What traders do: sell options when IV is rich, buy when IV is cheap — per ticker stats.
📈 Post-Earnings Drift
MOMENTUM
After the reaction, many names show consistent drift or snapback behavior.
That’s tradeable once IV crush clears the noise.
What traders do: buy calls or puts to capture the drift after the earnings reaction.

Great tool with active community and helpful support
I was very surprised how easy is to make money trading volatility. My
weekly performance was -3,-4, 8, and 23%. So even with 0 experience
trading volatility and making plenty of mistakes. I have managed to
make money, but general understanding of options is needed.
If you are not comfortable trying it on real broker account there is
a build in paper trading.
The volatility trading is great for unused cash/margin, doesn't take
much of preparation and you can do it before hand if you have a day
job.
The tool is easy to use. Creators are very active and helpful. Also
there is active community on discord.
I think it is worth trying and I am glad I did. I can't imagine
trading volatility without EarningsWatcher.

Innovative Tools for Earnings
Earnings watcher is one of the most powerful and useful options
trading websites.
I’m a full time investor and am delighted to have found this site to
help me trade earnings. Amin, the founder, is very present, helpful
and responsive and actively on line in Discord.
The very innovative IV rush tool has quickly become an important
part of my options trading arsenal. My trades have paid for my
subscription many times over.
The earnings calendar is a great to way to see upcoming earnings,
expected move prior earnings history. All of the tools are well
thought out and easy to use. The EarningsWatcher tab is always open
on my computer and I consult it multiple times each trading day.

Best Earnings Spotter
GREAT PRODUCT AND SERVICE!
This is what I have was actually looking for in conjunction with
other tools I use. Earnings can be quite of a hard thing to play and
win, and with multiple tickers on a daily basis for earnings it is
hard to justify the big movers and the ones that will not move at
all after the earnings report.
Keep in mind this service can be used with a lot of strategies other
than just purchasing a contract the day before earnings and hope for
the best.
With Amin and his team, they worked on something special that could
be one day very demanding for many users to use. Can’t wait for the
many updates and implementations.
Best of luck to the team and I can’t wait to see what’s next in this!

Great product built by a team that actually listens
As an early adopter of Earnings Watcher, watching this product evolve
and get better with each iteration has been impressive. Amin and his
team are in lock-step with their user base, and attentive to every
detail, every suggestion, every bit of feedback.
The product itself delivers on its promise and then some.
Some trading platforms have comparable features, but this is the first
product I've seen that was built from the ground up to cater to the
specific pain points of successfully trading earnings.
Big kudos to Amin and the team, and thanks for all the hard work!

Best Earnings Solution on the market
As a senior investor in stocks and options I have always been challenged by
the earnings.
Trading volatility in options is considered the champions league of options
trading. Only an systematic approach based on mathematics and statistics may
offer a path to keeping the upper hand.
I can say that the tool Amin and his team have developed is exactly that.
It’s usage is straight forward and offers all one can desire for a systematic
play of earnings. Both for beginners and senior Option investors it’s a
powerful tool that can be recommended to anyone taking this seriously.
The user support is over the tip excellent. It’s a company made and ran with
love for its product and users.
Last but not least. It works and within a week I was able to pocket the
membership fee plus some wins.
FAQ
Quick answers to the questions traders ask before they start.
Isn’t trading earnings basically gambling? +
Earnings can appear random when viewed in isolation.
In reality, earnings volatility strategies have been studied and used for decades by professional options traders. A substantial body of literature documents the dynamics of implied volatility around earnings and how those dynamics can be traded (examples here or here).
The issue was never that earnings lacked structure — it was that the research was complex, scattered, and difficult to apply consistently.
EarningsWatcher takes those established volatility concepts and turns them into a clear, repeatable workflow. That allows traders to structure defined-risk trades around probabilities, rather than treating each earnings event as a guess.
