Topics covered include the following:

• Why most traders struggle with earnings trading, as well as how to shift from directional speculation to volatility-based trading
• The structured, repeatable approach that works every earnings season
• How buying options can thrive in volatile markets
• The importance of defined risk trades and how they eliminate uncertainty
• Real trade examples, including Shopify (SHOP), Etsy (ETSY), Designer Brands (DBI), SentinelOne (S), and Upstart (UPST)
• How win rate, position sizing, and risk management can impact long-term profitability
