AAPL EARNINGS - SEVEN DAY TREND

This chart shows a typical 7-day cyclic upward trend leading to the earnings report and three days after. It is an often repeated trend configuration on the technical chart - where I use my EMA overlays for confirmation. Also, I double check correlated assets on the demarcation date - April 27th to see that market makers are starting to flood the market with buy order inventory. The trick is to have enough velocity in price move to capture a sizable profit. That's where HFTs show dramatic "spikes" - gap ups when tracking Dark Pool's incremental accumulation of block orders.
