I have entered an earnings play on BMRC using shares. I took the trade on the strength of a bullish, day old uptrend on the Fisher Transform metric and a relatively high score from the Zacks earnings surprise predictor. The position of the Fisher below the zero line theoretically gives the uptrend room to rise.
The Fisher Transform turned dow on the 4-hour chart and I exited for a profit, eight days before earnings were due to be published.
| sym | entry | exit | result ($) | result (%) | entry date | exit date |
| BMRC | 68.89 | 70.85 | 1.96 | 2.8% | 1/8 | 1/16 |
| zacks rank | zacks esp | FisherTrans | FT spread | earns est. | earns actual | |
| 1 | 3.49 | -1.471 | 0.692 | 0.89 | TBD |
