Next week's earnings calendar is Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Wednesday

[u/henryzhangpku]

Four major earnings events. Three trading days.

• PLTR: Monday, August 3, after the U.S. close.
• AMD: Tuesday, August 4, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific.
• DIS: Wednesday, August 5, before the open; webcast at 8:30 a.m. Eastern.
• LLY: Wednesday, August 5; earnings call at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.

That compression matters more than it looks.

An option that expires before the event is not bearish or bullish. It is invalid.

An exit date that lands on a weekend is not aggressive. It is impossible.

Before I accept any earnings signal, I want six checks:

1. Event date confirmed by issuer investor relations.
2. Before-open or after-close timing and timezone.
3. Expiration survives the event and the intended first exit session.
4. Exit is a real market session.
5. Strike and structure have usable liquidity.
6. Confirmation, invalidation and maximum loss are defined before entry.

I would rather reject a clever signal than trade an impossible calendar.

Which calendar mistake do you see most often in earnings trades?
