Want to get earnings reports in real-time?
Earnings season is a time of volatility for the market, but it’s also considered a time for swing trading. This is the time when expectations are most prone to divergence among investors, which is a common cause of stock price changes.
First and foremost is real-time access to earnings reports.
Here's a four-step video guide prepared by moomoo Learn to help you catch your most anticipated earnings report.

Then if short-term trends after the earnings report disappoint you, your long-term investment mindset is also unlikely to suffer.
