 Hello and welcome to OptionTiger's new product, EarningsMax. The EarningsMax product is a comprehensive understanding of the earnings cycle itself along with the complete playbook of the most exciting trading opportunities they provide. This video is meant to provide you with a fairly detailed overview of what EarningsMax is all about and what you can expect to find inside the product. My name is Hari Swaminathan and I'm the founder of OptionTiger.com, a top-notch Options Education and Proprietary Strategies company based in the Washington DC area. I've been an Options Trader for over 8 years now. OptionTiger has created proprietary strategies and trading systems like the CondorMax system for managing iron condors, the IncomeMax spreads and the Straddle systems, the DayTradeMax system for intraday trading and the SwingTradeMax for trades lasting from a few days to a few weeks. I have a bachelor's degree in engineering from India and an MBA from Columbia Business School in New York. Without any further ado, let's get to the details of the exciting EarningsMax system. Every stock must report earnings four times a year, once after every quarter. And while playing the stock itself is nothing more than a gamble, the options market provides us with numerous strategic ways to create some big trading opportunities. At the outset itself, I must point out, and if you've had any experience with playing earnings trades, then you know that earnings events are highly speculative. There is nobody on the planet that can know which way the stock is going to go when it reports earnings. And even the best of analysts that cover the stock will not know the direction. At least that's in theory unless you have some inside information. However, the options market provides us with some of the most interesting playbook of trades that can produce some very big returns with earnings trades. It's extremely critical to understand the dynamics of various factors that are at play when considering earnings trades, and there are several of them. The volatility explosion and the impending implosion cycle is perhaps the most important one. But there are many others as well, and we'll discuss them briefly on the next slide. Every stock will have its own unique situation during earnings season. And for each of these situations, this product covers four primary trades that are the most suited for these situations. These four trades are sufficient to cover most earning situations, and you'll find the complete details on the dynamics of these four types of trades in this product. We'll also be covering trades that are suitable for the days and weeks that lead up to the earnings events, and just before the event itself, and trades that are best suited for the post-earning cycles. We'll be discussing all three of these kinds of trades in this product and in this course videos. Most importantly, we know that earnings trades can be highly speculative, so a comprehensive coverage of what types of adjustments work for each of these four types of trades, and this is also included with the product. Let's now look at what you get with this product inside. It's imperative that we analyze the earnings cycle from a volatility explosion and implosion cycle. No earnings trades using options can be properly designed if we do not understand the implied volatility dynamics thoroughly. We'll be doing detailed studies of how implied volatility behaves before, during, and after the earnings event. Next, when it comes to earnings trades, it's also important to understand the background information on the stock itself. You learn how to identify stocks, what sorts of information we need to know, and where to find this information. This research process may take only about a half an hour for each stock, but the results of this research will play a significant role in improving the edge on every earnings trade. Besides, knowing this information is critical to the trade selection, i.e., which one out of the four trades do we choose for this particular stock in this particular earnings cycle? In fact, this is the most important factor for success with earnings trades, choosing the right kind of trade for each stock and its situation for that cycle. The same stock may have different situations for different earnings cycles and therefore this aspect becomes very critical. Next, when do you put each type of trade? This timing is actually very important because, as we know, time decay and implied volatility work together. So, this is determined by a good understanding of how time decay and implied volatility interplay with each other right before the earnings period. So, we'll be covering these aspects in detail as well. Finally, we'll experience great trades and not so great trades. How do we manage the not so great trades? If we have a plan to recover from each of the trades that go against us, then overall, earnings trades can be a very profitable and exciting endeavor. In the upcoming earnings cycle, we'll be covering an actual trade for each of the four types of trades and we'll be managing the ones that don't go in our favor. All of these are part of the product and the course videos. Earning trades can be very profitable and sometimes even explosive and this product will give you the most complete and comprehensive blueprint to approach earning season with the right knowledge, information and the analytical process required to put the best edge on your side. Each one of these topics mentioned in this video is covered in detail in the course videos.
