Turning Earnings Into Breakout Trades

A simple strategy for finding the very best stocks at just the right price for the biggest gains possible, trading the safest way I’ve ever discovered.

If you want to make those big, fast, and juicy gains trading in today's markets…

Chances are, you already know you need a lot of volatility.

If the stock price isn’t moving, it means you’re not making any money. 

So when do stock prices make their biggest and fastest moves?

Earnings season!

Four times per year, every publicly traded company has to report their numbers to the market…

And in just a matter of hours, millions of dollars – or even billions of dollars – can change hands. 

On the surface, trading earnings sounds like an easy way to make money.

All you have to do is guess if the company is going to beat or miss its forecasts, right? 

Well, if it were that easy…

How is it possible that stocks that beat earnings go down…
And stocks that miss earnings go up?

I’ve spent the last 10 years of my life trying to answer this question…

And after a lot of trial and error, figuring out the answer…

I am excited to show you the shockingly simple secret to winning more – and winning bigger – by trading earnings calls. 

It’s a systematic way to turn earnings announcements into big, fast gains…

Without gambling on one‑day lottery tickets or trying to guess what a CEO will say on the call.

And if you’re looking for a better way to trade earnings that doesn’t require making super high risk bets on short-dated options…

You’re going to love this simple, repeatable process that lets us:

  • Identify which companies just delivered the kind of earnings surprise that actually matters.

  • Position ourselves to target 3x, 5x, even 10x returns over the next 12-24 months owning the common stock, and then… 

  • Trade short-term options on the same tickers AFTER earnings come out for a shot at another 3x, 5x, even 10x returns in just a few weeks' time. 

That’s exactly what happened with Palantir in early 2023.

Even if you missed the big one day pop on the May 3rd earnings call, which took the stock from about $7 to $15…

You had three or four months to get into PLTR for about $15 per share.

Today, the stock price is at about $166 per share. 

This means if you had bought at $15 you’d be up about 10x in about 30 months… 

Turning every $5k invested into $57,000… 
and every $10k into $104,000.

Not bad for a simple buy and hold trade!

But people don't get rich by getting lucky on a few good stocks.

They get rich by finding an edge in the market…

And playing that edge as often as possible.

The way people used to build wealth in the 80s and 90s may have bought them security.

But if you want true financial security, you need to be finding these 3x, 5x, and 10x opportunities in your portfolio...

Every single year.

Every single month.

And if you can, every single week!

The only way to do this is by trading options. 

This is, without a doubt, the master skillset for building wealth in the stock market. 

By being here today on this call, you're ahead of 99% of everyone else searching for market beating returns.

And if you want to be one of the top 1% of people who consistently beat the market each year…

What we’re about to show you next will blow your mind.

Because here’s the truth every winning trader knows about the market…

The biggest problem with trading isn’t losing…

It’s not winning big enough! 

You only get so many “best trades” of the year.

And if you want to consistently beat the market…

You need to squeeze as much juice out of your best ideas as fast – and as often – as you possibly can.

Here’s how we made 6x our money 
on Palantir in just 21 days.

On April 11 – 67 days after their previous earnings call…

I bought the $PLTR 5/2 $100 calls for $2.15 per contract.

The very next trading day, the stock ripped higher and the calls jumped to $4.30, a 100% from entry. 

I always sell half our position once we double our money, so I took profits here and let the rest of our position run. 

By the expiration day on May 2nd – three days BEFORE the next earning call…

This trade hit its highest level of $24.40 for a 1,035% max return.

If you sold the double and then cashed in the 11 bagger…

This means you would have earned a nice 537% gain on that trade…

Turning every $1,000 into $6,370, and every $5,000 into $31,850 in just 21 days time.

What’s the secret?

It all comes down to doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing.

You see, most people think the best way to make money trading earnings is short-dated options.

But by the time earnings hit, short‑dated options are already pumped full of implied volatility.

This means if you’re trading any kind of option, you’re going to overpay on premiums going in… 

And then get killed coming out of the trade when implied volatility collapses.

This means even if you guessed correctly and got the direction of the trade right…

You could still wind up losing money. 

That’s why instead of trading the earnings calls for a shot at a one day lottery ticket…

I like to wait for the earnings to get fully priced in…

Let the volatility drop, so my options premiums are cheaper…

And get myself in position to profit from the next time the stock pops higher.

We’re not reacting to the company's earnings. 
We’re reacting to how the market reacts.

We’re in a market where reactions are extreme.

The spread between winners and losers is widening. 

Index-level returns mask violent single-stock dispersion. The penalty for being wrong — or late — is growing every quarter.

Capital is flowing faster and more selectively than at any point in the last decade.

That means two things:

  1. Good companies are being separated from great ones

  2. Earnings reactions are becoming long-lasting trends

When a stock transitions from being punished after earnings…
to being rewarded — repeatedly — something fundamental has changed.

That’s where the biggest opportunities are born.

And that’s why I’d like to invite you to become a member of our new trading service...

Introducing:
The Beat Report

The Beat Report isn’t a trading gimmick.

It’s a disciplined, long-term research framework designed to identify emerging leaders early — and stay with them.

Here’s how it works:

1. Fundamental Quality Filters

First, we apply proprietary fundamental filters to narrow the universe.

We start with quantified financial screens — not headlines.

Margins.
Cash flow quality.
Balance-sheet strength.
Growth durability.

Only companies with improving fundamentals qualify.

Story stocks and speculative names never make it through this filter.

This alone removes the vast majority of the market.

2. Earnings Reaction Score

This is where the market weighs in.

We track how stocks behave around earnings over multiple cycles.

Those consistently rewarded by institutional buyers rise to the top.
Those rejected by the market — regardless of narrative — are discarded.

Price decides.

3. Technical Confirmation & Execution

Finally, we use technical analysis to position responsibly.

Primary trend reversals.
Anchored VWAP.
Price confirmation.

We don’t chase momentum spikes.

We position as leadership emerges.

This is where the process becomes unmistakable.

See the fundamental turn. See the market reaction shift. See the technical breakout that follows.

Real Signals. Real Trends.

Palantir didn’t explode out of nowhere.

Before its recent surge, it showed a pattern the Beat Report looks for relentlessly:

  • Improving fundamentals

  • Repeated positive earnings reactions

  • A clear technical structure supporting higher prices

That same framework has surfaced opportunities like Palantir, Coinbase, and Shopify before they became consensus trades.

Not because they were popular — but because the market quietly approved them first.

This is what most investors never see — until leadership is already crowded.

Why Steve Strazza Is Uniquely Positioned to Run This

Before becoming a widely respected technical strategist, Steve was a CPA and auditor — trained to tear financial statements apart line by line.

That background matters.

Because the Beat Report doesn’t rely on opinions.

It relies on quantified fundamentals, measured market reactions, and repeatable technical triggers.

This is not about being the smartest analyst in the room.

It’s about building a system that lets the market do the hard work — and then listening carefully.

What Beat Report Members Receive

This is a research product designed to guide long-term positioning — not a hype letter or signal blast.

Each week, members see which earnings reactions institutions are rewarding and which narratives the market is rejecting. 

And they start positioning alongside capital flows instead of reacting to headlines. 

Here’s what members receive to help them do this:

  • Weekly Members Video

A structured review of earnings reactions, portfolio positioning, and emerging signals so you stay aligned with the process.

  • Full Trade Idea Deep Dives & Reports

Approximately 20–30 qualified ideas per year, delivered only when setups meet strict fundamental, reaction, and technical criteria. Ideas are long-biased and may occasionally use LEAPS or warrants when structure makes sense.

  • Ongoing Portfolio Management & Update Posts

Clear communication around additions, exits, position sizing, and risk management as trends evolve.

  • Live Model Portfolio Tracker (Dashboard Access)

An interactive portfolio view so you can monitor positions, entries, and allocation in real time. Showing portfolio positions, equity trades, and options trades with more upgrades coming soon.

This is how professional capital actually operates.

Institutions don’t force positions.

They wait for confirmation — and act decisively when it arrives. 

That discipline is the Beat Report’s edge.

Who This Is Built For

The Beat Report is designed for investors who want:

  • Buy the Best Stocks

  • Evidence-based decision making over narratives

  • Long-term trend capture rather than constant trading

  • A structured portfolio approach with transparency

Typical holding periods target roughly 12 months, allowing strong trends to compound rather than being prematurely exited.

This Is Not for Everyone

If you want:

  • Day trades

  • Earnings gambles

  • Hot tips

This isn’t it.

But if you want a disciplined system for positioning alongside institutional capital as leadership develops — the Beat Report was built for you.
