When I look at the candlestick chart, I see that some of the gaps are due to the company issuing financial guidance, and if I know ahead of time the date the company will issue financial guidance, I can avoid the risk. The question is, will the company give advance notice of the release date of the financial guidance? Please note that this is financial guidance and not earnings
Most companies, on their website, offer the ability to sign up for news updates under investor relations.
%% MUCH of guidance is also on earnings calls; some surprises are announced without much notice or after hours, so ''cant really avoid the risk'' Some trends are evident anywhere; but in a bear market odds favor the bears\downtrends regardless.
