Hi Big Board Day Traders,
Can someone help me get an answer to the following question:
Is there a way to connect earnings reports on the earnings report calendar to an automatic system of alerts to alert when the price begins to go up a certain amount or a certain slope of amount. It seems that earnings often drives a huge up-swing (or down-swing) in price of a stock, and if you knew it was starting up, you could buy that stock and it would go up more.
The problem is that one can manually do the alerts but the alerts sometimes arrive late to your email or phone. I will try this again but so far it hasn't worked very well. My brokers have very nice listings of the earnings reports for each day of the month but there is no easy way to add alerts for them other than one at a time which is incredibly time-consuming and tedious. For now, I will simply pick a few of them and set alerts. Also, it would be nice to have alerts on not just price, but volume. Some of my brokers DO have it on volume and price, some just price. Anyway, just looking for a better "scanner" of the stock prices. InvestorHub has a really nice way of showing bid, ask, and insider buys and sells so it wouldn't surprise me if InvestorHub has the feature that I want. I'll experiment a little as I haven't yet tried to use InvestorHub to connect to earnings, although I've used their alert system. Any help or ideas appreciated. Thanks.
A good example is BIG LOTS (ticker BIG) went up like 13% today over a period of about an hour. A green rise can be seen.
