What problem does it solve?

The PEAD Screener eliminates manual screening of earnings gap-up stocks by systematically identifying post-earnings drift opportunities using weekly candle patterns, so traders can find high-probability breakout setups with defined risk levels.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Weekly candle PEAD detection: Identifies red-candle pullbacks and confirms breakouts above the red candle high to time entries.
  • Two input modes: Accepts FMP earnings calendar (Mode A) or earnings-trade-analyzer JSON output (Mode B) to accommodate different workflows.
  • Actionable trade outputs: Produces stage classification (MONITORING, SIGNAL_READY, BREAKOUT, EXPIRED), composite scores, entry/stop/target suggestions, and liquidity metrics for position sizing.
  • Use case: A trader monitoring recent earnings gap-ups can automatically generate a ranked list of candidates with entry triggers and risk management rules to place trades or set alerts.

Quick Start

Run the pead-screener with an FMP_API_KEY or supply an earnings-trade-analyzer JSON file to generate JSON and Markdown screening reports in the reports/ directory.

FAQPage Schema
What is a post-earnings drift (PEAD) pattern and how do weekly candles identify it?

Post-earnings drift (PEAD) patterns are identified by screening earnings gap-up stocks for red-candle pullbacks on weekly charts, then confirming breakouts above the red candle high to time high-probability entry setups with defined risk levels.

How do I screen earnings gap-up stocks for PEAD breakout setups?

You can screen earnings gap-up stocks by running the screener with either an FMP earnings calendar or an earnings-trade-analyzer JSON file, which detects red candle pullbacks and outputs stage classifications, entry triggers, and risk management rules.

Do I need an FMP API key to screen for post-earnings drift trade setups?

An FMP API key is required for Mode A to pull earnings calendar data directly, but Mode B allows you to screen for PEAD setups by supplying a valid earnings-trade-analyzer JSON file instead.

Can I use weekly candle analysis for post-earnages breakout screening without manual charting?

Weekly candle analysis is automated to detect red-candle pullbacks and signal-ready setups, eliminating manual charting by producing structured JSON and Markdown reports with stage classification, composite scores, and liquidity metrics.

What trade management outputs does a PEAD screener generate for position sizing?

The screener generates structured reports containing stage classification (MONITORING, SIGNAL_READY, BREAKOUT, EXPIRED), composite scores, suggested entries, stops, targets, and liquidity metrics to inform position sizing and alert setup.

When should I not use an automated PEAD screener for earnings gap-up stocks?

Automated PEAD screening is not suited for intra-day scalping or markets lacking sufficient post-earnings volume, as the screener relies on weekly candle pullback patterns and breakout confirmations within a configurable watch window.
