---If you can trade earnings in a boring mundane structural fashion-- i spend 10-12 years daytrading(not earnings),using my own soft,system,stats etc. yes. it's very boring,slow grind each and every day. same as any other 8-5 job,except for much longer hours. more like 8 to 10 pm :)

not necessarily. one popular way to trade the earnings is to buy and later sell the options,betting that volatility will arise,when stock is moving closer to earnings. i'm wrong? :) the other would be directional trading. specially,if you spend time,studying price gaps,that occur after...

it took a very long time. and it was a complete mess. margin requirements changed so often-they wont even bother to update the info. i mean-you see completely different requirements on website and in real trading..those are fun times. here is a little piece of history from one of my little...

they can (and do that) all the time. you should see their requirements during last crash\volatility spike of 2008-2009. boy oh boy..i was holding a large portfolio of extremely liquid ,high grade corp.bonds,valuing them was a piece of cake,but that's wont matter for them. 100% on all securities...
