About this strategy

Trading System “EarningsTradingQuant”
is an automated trading system that buys stocks the day before earnings releases and keep the trades for just one day. I create this system after quantitative analysis of earnings releases the last five years. To open a position the system takes into consideration the stock’s previous earnings announcement, the market reaction of the previous announcement and the stock price movement the last three months.

Characteristics of the system:
Full automated trading system.
Open the positions at close price the day before earnings releases and close them at the close price the next day.
Takes long positions.
Trade stocks with capitalization over 500 million dollars
Full margin can be used.
Every stock’s position size is maximum $6,000.
-The return target is 7% per month based on the hypothetical performance of 5-year backtesting. Backtesting data is hypothetical and it has not been verified by C2

Suggested minimum investment horizon: 3-6 months

I'm available to answer any questions or concerns

Past results are not necessarily indicative of future results.

These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under-or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.
