Earnings Season Swing Trading: Using TC2000 Smart Watchlists to Stay Informed & Manage Risk

Now that we’re in earnings season, I wanted to share a quick TC2000 tip for staying aware of upcoming earnings releases for stocks within the same industry of a specific stock. This is particularly useful if you are swing trading during earnings season and want to make sure you do not hold a position through potential earnings-related volatility.

The TL;DR is as follows:

Create a new watchlist via Watchlist → Industry. This will create a “smart” watchlist that populates based on which stock you currently have selected. In particular, it will display all of the stocks within the same industry as your selected stock. Add a “Next Earnings” column to your watchlist and sort it so that the nearest dates are at the top. Now you have a smart watchlist that tells you which stocks have upcoming earnings within the same industry as your selected stock. I created a YouTube video of this process here if you’d like to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qww4-stWA8s
