Earnings Bullish

Strategy Name: Earnings Igniter


Strategy Description: Earnings Igniter is a high-octane breakout strategy engineered to exploit post-earnings momentum and other explosive market catalysts. It zeroes in on stocks making aggressive upside moves by combining extreme price action with volume and momentum confirmation. Optimized for 5-minute bars, this strategy thrives in scenarios where a stock experiences a sudden surge—often triggered by a major earnings beat or news catalyst.


Core Setup: Momentum Breakout Conditions:

  • Price Breakout: Current price must be above the upper Bollinger Band, signaling a volatility expansion and potential breakout.

  • Momentum Confirmation: RSI (14) must be greater than 70 to confirm strong upward momentum.

  • Volume Surge: On Balance Volume must exceed 1, ensuring the move is supported by significant buying pressure.

Profit Target & Risk Control:

  • Take Profit: +0.75%

  • Stop Loss: -1.5%

A 1:2 reward-to-risk ratio supports a high-conviction entry philosophy, anticipating strong follow-through.


Ideal For:

  • Traders looking to capture sharp upside moves immediately following earnings beats or surprise catalysts

  • Strategies deployed intraday on volatile stocks with news-driven momentum

  • Automated systems that favor decisive entries with tightly managed exits


Earnings Igniter is built for traders who want to strike fast when the market reveals its hand—capturing the upside burst while maintaining discipline on the downside. It's ideal for volatile environments where speed, volume, and direction align for breakout potential.
