Good job man, but is it simple?
Do you ever just buy ONLY calls to enter a trade?
Only a gambler buys calls -sure they get lucky a few times then they get their predictable 10 consecutive losers. I trade strategies and very rarely place a debit trade.

No, earnings trades do not need to be news driven - what if you open and close a trade before the earnings announcement? Then no news is involved, and yet you've done an earnings trade.
