Terms of Use
Last updated: September 30, 2026
Welcome to OptionsWave. By accessing or using our website and services (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms"). If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
Service Description
OptionsWave is an earnings options research tool. Every trading day before the open, the Service scans a fixed list of stocks with upcoming earnings, compares the average first-session maximum move of each stock's last four earnings releases with the move priced by the at-the-money straddle at the previous session's closing asks, and lists the stocks where the historical average is higher as candidates. Candidates are ideas for review, not validated trade recommendations, and closing quotes are indicative, not live prices. Features include the scanner list, the evidence page of each result, an earnings calendar, and bookmarks.
Not Investment Advice
OptionsWave does not provide investment advice, financial advice, trading advice, or any other sort of professional advice.
We are not registered as a broker-dealer, investment adviser, or in any other capacity with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), any state securities regulatory authority, or any self-regulatory organization. The information on this platform is provided solely for informational and educational purposes.
All candidates, analysis, calculations, and opportunities presented on the Service are algorithmic outputs based on historical data. They are not recommendations to buy or sell any securities. Past performance of earnings moves does not guarantee future results.
You are solely responsible for any investment decisions you make. You should consult with a qualified financial advisor before making any trading decisions.
Options Trading Risks
Options trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. You could lose your entire investment. Key risks include:
- Options can expire worthless, resulting in a total loss of the premium paid
- Straddle strategies require significant price moves to be profitable
- Implied volatility can change rapidly and unpredictably
- Earnings announcements may produce moves outside of historical norms
- Liquidity risk may prevent timely execution at expected prices
- Historical averages of past earnings moves may not reflect future moves or actual market conditions
The comparison used in our analysis does not eliminate risk. It is not a guarantee of profit, and it has not been validated against historical option prices.
Data Sources and Accuracy
Our analysis uses data from publicly available financial data sources and third-party market data providers.
While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee the completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any data. Market data may be delayed. Data providers may experience outages or errors. You should independently verify any information before making trading decisions.
