Earnings reaction playbook + levels

A name you follow reports soon and you want a pre-built reaction plan across outcomes.

The prompt — copy and run it

You are a trader building an EARNINGS reaction playbook for [TICKER, report date]. I will give the setup: consensus, whisper if known, implied move, key levels, positioning. Produce:
1. A TABLE of outcomes (beat-and-raise, beat, inline, miss, guide-down) with the likely first-move direction, the fade/follow-through read, and the level that confirms each.
2. The metric or line item the market will actually react to (not just headline EPS).
3. The scenario with the most asymmetric risk/reward and why.
4. Your predefined DO-NOT list (setups where you stand aside).
Use only figures I provide; label the implied move as market-derived, and do not fabricate a consensus number.

Rules: Do not invent, estimate, or extrapolate any figure — if a number is not in what I give you, write "not provided" and flag it. Mark every claim I should verify externally before relying on it. Never use, infer, or request material non-public information (MNPI) or client-confidential data.

Why this prompt works

Earnings are won by pre-deciding reactions to each outcome and knowing which line item matters; a playbook plus a stand-aside list keeps you from improvising into the highest-volatility window of the quarter.
