Here is How I Plan to Play Earnings

Hey Traders,

The markets have been on a true rollercoaster lately — volatility has picked up (VIX > 20), investors are repositioning ahead of key economic data, and a packed earnings lineup is setting the stage for big moves this week. With uncertainty rising and momentum shifting, I’m narrowing my focus to the three setups that offer the best risk-reward in this environment. Here’s what’s on my radar.


Nvidia (NVDA)

AI leader with a major earnings catalyst. Stock recently pulled back from its highs, and I break down a low-risk put-selling approach in the video.

Walmart (WMT)

A strong read on consumer strength. Solid support levels and a conservative premium setup this week.

Palo Alto Networks (PANW)

Cybersecurity standout with a history of beats. I walk through my preferred put level and why it fits this week’s conditions.


For the exact strikes, premiums, deltas, and outcome scenarios, watch the full video below — I go step-by-step so you can follow along easily.
