Pead Screener

This screens stocks for Post-Earnings Announcement Drift patterns by analyzing weekly candles after gap-up earnings moves. It pulls from FMP's earnings calendar or accepts output from earnings-trade-analyzer, then classifies candidates into stages like SIGNAL_READY when a red candle forms or BREAKOUT when price clears the pullback high. You get composite scores, concrete entry/exit levels, and risk/reward ratios for each setup. The weekly timeframe focus is smart here since PEAD plays out over weeks, not days. Works well if you trade systematic earnings momentum and want to filter for the specific red candle pullback pattern rather than drowning in every gap-up stock. Free tier FMP API is enough for the default lookback window.
