Your Weekly Edge Starts Here
Every week during earnings season, TradAdvisor publishes AI-powered predictions for every company scheduled to report. But raw predictions are only as valuable as your ability to interpret and act on them. This guide walks you through every element of our weekly predictions and shows you how to extract maximum value.
Understanding the TradAdvisor Prediction Dashboard
The Prediction Direction
Each stock receives a clear directional call: UP or DOWN. This represents our AI's assessment of the most likely post-earnings price direction based on dozens of data inputs. A few things to keep in mind:
- UP means our models expect a positive earnings reaction—not necessarily that the stock will beat estimates. A company can miss EPS but rally on strong guidance.
- DOWN means we expect negative price action after the report, whether from a miss, weak guidance, or both.
- The prediction applies to the immediate post-earnings reaction (1-3 days), not the long-term trajectory.
Confidence Levels
Not all predictions carry equal weight. TradAdvisor assigns a confidence level that reflects signal strength:
- High confidence: Multiple independent signals converge on the same direction. These are your best opportunities.
- Medium confidence: The signal is present but not overwhelming. Exercise more caution with position sizing.
- Lower confidence: Conflicting signals or insufficient data. Best used as one input among many, not as a standalone trade thesis.
Social Sentiment Score
TradAdvisor's Grok-powered sentiment engine scans social media platforms in real time. The sentiment score reflects the aggregate mood of the trading community:
- A strongly bullish sentiment score combined with an UP prediction reinforces the thesis.
- Divergence between AI prediction and social sentiment can be especially informative—sometimes the crowd is wrong, and that creates opportunity.
- Rapid sentiment shifts in the days before earnings often precede larger-than-expected moves.
Building a Weekly Trading Plan from TradAdvisor Predictions
Monday: Scan and Shortlist
Open TradAdvisor's Predictions page and review the full week. Sort by confidence to surface the strongest signals first. Create a shortlist of 5-8 stocks where:
- Prediction confidence is high
- You understand the company or sector
- The stock has adequate options liquidity for your preferred strategy
Tuesday-Wednesday: Deep Dive
For each shortlisted stock, visit the individual stock page on TradAdvisor. Review the full AI analysis, social sentiment trends, and historical data. Decide which 3-5 stocks you will actually trade and define your strategy for each.
Thursday-Friday: Execute and Review
Most earnings reports cluster around Tuesday through Thursday. Execute your planned trades, then review the results. Compare TradAdvisor's predictions against actual outcomes to build intuition over time.
Combining Weekly Predictions with Sector Context
TradAdvisor's predictions become even more powerful when you overlay sector context:
- If three tech companies have UP predictions with high confidence, that's a sector-level signal
- A single DOWN prediction in an otherwise bullish sector deserves extra attention—it might flag company-specific weakness
- Use early-week results to validate or adjust your thesis for later-week reporters
Common Mistakes When Using Weekly Predictions
- Trading every prediction: Be selective. Focus on high-confidence calls and stocks you understand.
- Ignoring position sizing: Even great predictions can lose. Never oversize based on confidence alone.
- Not checking back: TradAdvisor updates predictions as new data arrives. Revisit before executing.
- Neglecting the earnings call: Our prediction covers the numbers, but management commentary on the call can change everything.
