Definition
Calendar days until the asset's next expected earnings report. In backtests the next date is a point-in-time cadence estimate from the last report (no look-ahead); live trading uses the real next scheduled date. Use to time entries and exits around earnings.
Parameters
Asset
Output range: >= 0 (0 on/after the expected report day; counts down as it nears)
Example condition
`DaysUntilEarnings(AAPL) <= 30 AND DaysUntilEarnings(AAPL) > 0` (within a month of AAPL's next report)Usage notes
Pair with an options entry (iron condor / cash-secured put) and a `GreeksCloseTrigger` on IV to sell the pre-earnings premium and harvest the post-earnings IV crush.
Use in a strategy
Add this indicator to a strategy condition, choose its supported parameters and compare the output with the threshold required by your rule. Preserve the same interval and lookback when comparing backtests.
After saving the condition, inspect its asset, interval, lookback and comparison operator against the parameters above. If no trades occur, check whether the condition ever became true and whether the requested input data exists for that period. A missing input is not a zero-valued signal. An indicator produces an input to a rule. It does not establish future returns, and data availability can differ across assets and periods.
