7 Must-Have Tools for Earnings Week Prep

Before a single print drops, this is the prep stack:

1. This calendar — confirmed dates, BMO/AMC timing
2. Market Chameleon — implied moves from the options chain
3. TradingView — chart context on every reporter
4. Seeking Alpha — transcript previews and estimate threads
5. Stock Picks — rehearse each earnings play on paper first
6. Fintel — institutional positioning into prints
7. Barchart Options — IV rank history per name

Total cost of the whole stack: $0 if you stay on free tiers. The expensive part of earnings week is going in unprepared.
