This week, for options trading, I reviewed nearly 500 symbols in my large-cap stocks and exchange-traded funds, and for share trading, I reviewed nearly 1,000 symbols of stocks and funds of all capitalizations. For both I reviewed 77 companies publishing earnings.
I use four strategies in my trading, in response to trading signals (such as breakouts above the 20-day price channel), high implied options volatility, and persistently rising trends on a charts signaled by the stochastic-relative strength index indicator, and in anticipation of events ( such as earnings announcements).
| options | shares | |
|---|---|---|
| price channel | N/A | 3 |
| earnings | 1 | 0 |
| volatility | 0 | N/A |
| stochastic-rsi | N/A | 1 |

The next earnings season begin in mid-October.
I analyzed KR as a potential earnings play on Wednesday and rejected it because the risk was two high for the potential profit. I shall check it again on Thursday and will update the analysis if conditions change sufficiently to make it an attractive trade.
My experimental small-lots shares account is almost fully committed. I may be able to squeeze two small trades out of what's left, unless I have an opportunity to exit some of my current positions.
