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.
