How to check out potential Earnings Plays: A fellow trader emailed me about earnings plays, and I figured I would share the response to this thread. There is a relatively simple way to check out Earnings plays - Jenna's or ones you find out are announcing in a month or so. Look at the daily chart, and if the tick crosses above the midpoint of the Bollinger Band spread AND the 39 period Stochastic rises above 50% for 15-20 day prior to the earnings announcement date (and the tick stays there) its a buy - paper trade this and see if it doesn't work. Actually I check them online at cbs.marketwatch.com (this URL may have my chart defaults so you might want to reset) if they aren't in my database. lastshadow
