Earnings + Scanners + Charts = Tradable Edge

Published on: January 14, 2026

Every earnings season, the market gets a lot of information. There are a lot of numbers to look at, like sales growth, profit margins, EPS surprises, and changes in promoter holdings. But most traders and investors have the same problem: how do you turn this raw earnings data into something you can use?

The answer isn’t to read hundreds of result PDFs by hand. Instead, you need to create a “repeatable, systematic process” that combines fundamentals and technicals. That’s when Radar’s scanners, which you can find on the Definedge Securities ecosystem, come in handy.

This blog will show you how to use Radar Scanners and Matrix to organise your work during earnings season so that you are not only informed, but also ahead of the crowd.


Why Earnings Data Is Important (But Only When Used Correctly)
The market’s truth serum is earnings. In the short term, price can change based on stories, but over time, steady earnings growth draws in serious money from promoters, FIIs, and DIIs.

What’s the problem?

One good quarter can be misleading

• Headlines often make results seem bigger than they are

• Traders are more emotional on result day

Traders and investors really need filtered, high-quality earnings data that shows consistency, participation by smart money, and structural improvement. This is precisely why Radar Scanners were created.

Radar Scanners: From Too Much Data to Clear Signals
In the “Scanners” section of Radar, you will find a lot of public and pre-defined scanners. Each scanner is based on a certain way that the market acts or a certain way to invest.

Scanners help you ask a better question than “Which stock should I look at?” Instead, they help you ask, “Which stocks are already doing the right things fundamentally?”

Two scanners have clearly become the favourites among serious market participants out of all the options.

1. The Mamba Mentality Scanner: Where Consistency Meets Conviction

The Mamba Mentality Scanner is made for traders and investors who value discipline, consistency, and long-term intent just like its name says.

 What does it find?

This scanner only shows companies that:

 Have posted strong and consistent financial numbers over multiple quarters  Show fresh buying interest from:

 Promoters  FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors)  DIIs (Domestic Institutional Investors) in the most recent quarter

 Why this is important

When promoters put more money into a business, it shows that people who are close to it have faith in it. When FIIs and DIIs get involved, it means that institutions are backing it. When you add in steady earnings, you get stocks that are not only doing well, but also being accumulated quietly.

This makes a “high-probability universe” for traders, where price breakouts tend to last. For investors, it helps them find companies that are getting stronger on their own before the rest of the market does.


 2.Five-Star Strategy – The Complete Fundamental Checklist

The Five-Star Strategy scanner is perfect for you if you like a more organised, checklist-based approach.

This scanner uses five strong basic filters to do one scan:

1. Sales Growth and EPS Growth
2. Increase in Promoter Stake
3. Increase in DII Stake
4. Increase in FII Stake
5. Profit Turnaround

The Real Advantage

Each of these factors is useful on its own. They all work together to make a “multi-dimensional confirmation” that the business is getting better in terms of operations, ownership, and profits.

This scanner is especially useful during earnings season because it shows:

 Companies going from losing money to making money  Companies starting a new growth cycle  Stocks going from being ignored to being of interest to institutions

A Pro Tip That Will Change Everything

Always tick the box: “Only scan companies that have recently reported results for the quarter”

Why is this so important?

Because the earnings season is always changing. You want new data, not numbers from two quarters ago. This one checkbox makes sure that your scanner output shows the latest announced results, which keeps your decisions timely and useful.

From Scanner to Strategy: Save Groups for Later Study

The first step is to find stocks. The real power comes from organising and refining them.

When Radar gives you a list:

1. Choose “Save as Group”
2. Name it something that makes sense, like “Five-Star Earnings Winners” or “Q3 Mamba Picks.”
3. Send this group to RZone

You can now use technical scanners and charting methods like Point & Figure, Candlestick patterns, trend filters, momentum scans, and others.

This is where the Funda–Techno approach really stands out. Fundamentals make a short list of quality while Technicals set the time for entry and exit.

Now you are not just trading random breakouts; you are trading “breakouts backed by earnings strength.”


 Using Matrix to Find More Ways to Make Money

Radar has more than just scanners; it also has Matrix, which you can find in the same “Tools” section.

Matrix helps you narrow down companies that have:

1. Quarterly Profit at ATH

2. Quarterly Sales at All-Time High (ATH)

Why ATH numbers are important

ATH’s financial performance shows that a business is running at its “peak efficiency” or “demand strength.”

These stocks often:

• Get new institutional coverage
• Go through re-rating phases
• Show that prices keep going up over time

Matrix is a great tool for positional traders and investors to find leaders—not laggards—in the earnings cycle.

 A Useful Weekly Schedule for Earnings Season

In markets, consistency is better than intensity. Instead of reacting every day, make a simple weekend schedule for earnings season.

 Your plan in four steps:

1. Check the Earnings Calendar  – Keep an eye on which companies will be reporting their earnings in the next week.

2. Look over the Results Snapshot – Take a quick look at sales, profits, margins, and unexpected events.

3. Run Radar Scanners – Use the Mamba Mentality, Five-Star Strategy, and Matrix to sort through good stocks.

4. Save Groups and Use Technicals in RZone – Look for breakouts, pullbacks, or trend continuations that are backed by strong earnings.

Do this every weekend as new results come in. Over time, you will make a “rolling watchlist” of stocks that are fundamentally strong and can be traded.

Process Gives You an Edge
Anyone can see earnings data. Actionable insight is not. The edge doesn’t come from knowing the numbers; it comes from knowing what to do with them.

You can go from reactive trading to “process-driven decision-making” by using Radar Scanners and Matrix in a planned way and then adding technical analysis in RZone.

This Funda–Techno discipline doesn’t just make trades better in the long run; it also builds confidence, consistency, and clarity. That’s what makes people in markets different from professionals.
