@TheStig I would recommend waiting to either buy or short until the first mint move has happened, for example an earning loser might dip a little bit and come back quickly, then start to go down, so I would only short on that side of the move. Make sure no matter if your going short or long just catch the meat of the move, nothing more nothing less

Of course I still wait to see where it goes and trade cautiously just like any other trade. Luckily I've already been burned a couple times and have learned my lesson.

The thing about that is an earnings loser could still be am earnings winner if they beat but still lose revenue. All about the reaction.

Shorting earnings losers is a good strategy and it works for me - I just need to fix my overtrading. How it works for me would make up for an article than a quick response but as mentioned above wait for confirmation, eliminate pre-market low floaters and go for biggest pre-market losers at market open (5% or more gap down works best).
